  • Publication number: 20150179877
    Abstract: A nanowire device and a method of forming a nanowire device that is poised for pick up and transfer to a receiving substrate are described. In an embodiment, the nanowire device includes a base layer and a nanowire on and protruding away from a first surface of the base layer. The nanowire may include a core, a shell, and an active layer between the core and the shell. A top electrode layer may be on a second surface of the base layer opposite the first surface and in electrical contact with the core, and a bottom electrode layer may be on and electrical contact with the shell. In an embodiment, the base layer is characterized by a maximum width of the micro scale, and the nanowire is characterized by a maximum width or length of the nano scale.

  • Patent number: 8928021
    Abstract: A light emitting device and method of manufacture are described. In an embodiment, the light emitting device includes a micro LED device, a light pipe around the micro LED device to cause internal reflection of incident light from the micro LED device within the light pipe, and a wavelength conversion layer comprising phosphor particles over the light pipe. Exemplary phosphor particles include quantum dots that exhibit luminescence due to their size, or particles that exhibit luminescence due to their composition.

  • Publication number: 20140367633
    Abstract: A display and method of manufacture are described. The display may include a substrate including an array of pixels with each pixel including multiple subpixels, and each subpixel within a pixel is designed for a different color emission spectrum. An array of micro LED device pairs are mounted within each subpixel to provide redundancy. An array of wavelength conversions layers comprising phosphor particles are formed over the array of micro LED device pairs for tunable color emission spectrum.
