  • Publication number: 20160155906
    Abstract: A method for transferring light-emitting elements onto a package substrate includes: providing a light-emitting unit including a temporary substrate and light-emitting elements; disconnecting the light-emitting elements from the temporary substrate to allow the light-emitting elements to float on a fluid; adjusting spacings between the light-emitting elements to have a predetermined size by controlling flow of the fluid; placing a package substrate into the fluid, followed by aligning the light-emitting elements with connecting pads of the package substrate so as to correspondingly place the light-emitting elements on the connecting pads; and removing the package substrate with the light-emitting elements from the fluid.

  • Publication number: 20160141278
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a substrate, a plurality of micro light emitting chips and a plurality of conductive bumps. The substrate has a plurality of pads. The micro light emitting chips are disposed on the substrate in dispersion. Each of the micro light emitting chips includes an N-type semiconductor layer, an active layer and a P-type semiconductor layer. The conductive bumps are disposed corresponding to the micro light emitting chips and located between the micro light emitting chips and the substrate. The micro light emitting chips are electrically connected to the pads of the substrate by the conductive bumps. An orthogonal projection area of each of the conductive bumps on the substrate is greater than an orthogonal projection area of each of the micro light emitting chips on the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20160049555
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a light emitting diode (LED) and a flip-chip packaged LED device. The present invention provides an LED device. The LED device is flipped on and connected electrically with a packaging substrate and thus forming the flip-chip packaged LED device. The LED device mainly has an Ohmic-contact layer and a planarized buffer layer between a second-type doping layer and a reflection layer. The Ohmic-contact layer improves the Ohmic-contact characteristics between the second-type doping layer and the reflection layer without affecting the light emitting efficiency of the LED device and the flip-chip packaged LED device. The planarized buffer layer id disposed between the Ohmic-contact layer and the reflection layer for smoothening the Ohmic-contact layer and hence enabling the reflection layer to adhere to the planarized buffer layer smoothly.

    Abstract: The present invention relates an optical three-dimensional coordinate sensor system and method thereof. A plurality of light-emitting modules produce a plurality of light signals, and then a plurality of reflected light signals reflected by an object are received by a plurality of photodetectors. After receiving the reflected light signals, the photodetectors generate a plurality of photocurrents. A plurality of active pixel circuits receive the photocurrents and transform the photocurrents to a plurality of reflective optical voltages. A plurality of differential amplifier circuits (DAC) compare the reflective optical voltages and the background voltages, and then output a plurality of DAC output voltages of the reflected light signals. Afterward, a processing module detects the DAC output voltages and uses an algorithm to calculate the top three of the DAC output voltages to determine the three-dimensional coordinate of the object.
