  • Patent number: 12125959
    Abstract: For small, high-resolution, light-emitting diode (LED) displays, such as for a near-eye display in an artificial-reality headset, LEDs are spaced closely together. A backplane can be used to drive an array of LEDs in an LED display. A plurality of interconnects electrically couple the backplane with the array of LEDs. The backplane can have a different coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than the array of LEDs. During bonding of the backplane to the array of LEDs, CTE mismatch can cause misalignment of bonding sites. The higher the bonding temperature, the greater the misalignment of bonding sites. Lower temperature bonding, using materials with lower melting or bonding temperatures, can be used to mitigate misalignment during bonding so that interconnects can be more closely spaced, which can allow LEDs to be more closely spaced, to enable a higher-resolution display.

  • Patent number: 11914150
    Abstract: A wearable display system includes a light projection system having one or more emissive microdisplays, e.g., micro-LED displays. The light projection system projects time-multiplexed left-eye and right-eye images, which pass through an optical router having a polarizer and a switchable polarization rotator. The optical router is synchronized with the generation of images by the light projection system to impart a first polarization to left-eye images and a second different polarization to right-eye images. Light of the first polarization is incoupled into an eyepiece having one or more waveguides for outputting light to one of the left and right eyes, while light of the second polarization may be incoupled into another eyepiece having one or more waveguides for outputting light to the other of the left and right eyes. Each eyepiece may output incoupled light with variable amounts of wavefront divergence, to elicit different accommodation responses from the user's eyes.

  • Patent number: 11854810
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for bonding LED components. According to certain embodiments, a first component is bonded to a second component using dielectric bonding and metal bonding. The first component includes an active light emitting layer between oppositely doped semiconductor layers. The second component includes a substrate having a different thermal expansion coefficient than the first component. First contacts of the first component are aligned to second contacts of the second component. A dielectric material of the first component is then bonded to a dielectric material of the second component. The metal bonding is performed between the first contacts and the second contacts, after the dielectric bonding, and using annealing. The bonded structure has a concave or convex shape before the metal bonding. Run-out between the first contacts and the second contacts is compensated through temperature-induced changes in a curvature of the bonded structure during the metal bonding.
