Publication number: 20240250226Abstract: Thin, flexible substrates have printed components or conductors on them forming planarized circuit layers. One or more of the circuits may be programmable, such as with a patterned printed conductive layer, so that one generic design may be used for many different types of functions. Instead of metal vias communicating vertically between the layers, the generic layers have one or more LEDs and photodiodes that generally face each other and communicate by light pulses. Near field communications may also be used for the vertical communications. This allows the separate layers to be combined in various ways, depending on the desired function of the overall product, without requiring the steps of forming holes, filling the holes with a metal, and then connecting the metal vias together, which may form unreliable connections when the layers are flexed. The input/output signals may also be by light or NFC.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2023Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventors: William J Ray, Brian D Ogonowsky

Publication number: 20220149232Abstract: A light emitting structure uses an extruded mixture of a fluorescent material and a transparent plastic to form a thin flexible substrate. The extrusion, using a slot die, forms a thin flexible film having very smooth surfaces with a uniform thickness. A transparent first conductive layer is then printed over the substrate. Pre-formed micro-LEDs are then printed over the first conductive layer, where the bottom electrodes of the LEDs contact the first conductive layer. A dielectric layer is deposited between the LEDs and exposes the top electrode of the LEDs. A second conductive layer, which may be transparent or reflective, is printed over the LEDs to electrically connect at least some of the LEDs in parallel. Primary light emitted from the LEDs energizes the fluorescent material in the substrate to emit secondary light from the substrate. Blue LED light may combine with the secondary light to create a wide gamut of colors, such as white.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2021Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventor: William J. Ray
