    Abstract: Technologies for back side micro-LED assemblies are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a micro-LED assembly includes several micro-LEDs and several photodiodes mounted on a base die. The base die is mounted on an integrated circuit (IC) die, such as a processor die. Through-silicon vias are defined in the IC die to carry electrical signals between the micro-LED assembly and transistors and other components near or at the front side of the IC die. An optical plug with an optical cable is positioned above the micro-LED assembly to couple light to and from the micro-LEDs and photodiodes. The short distance between the transistors on the front side of the IC die and the micro-LED assembly allows for high-bandwidth signals to be converted to optical signals with little loss. The optical cable can connect IC dies on the same circuit board, in the same housing, in the same rack, etc.
