  • Publication number: 20120205646
    Abstract: A display with a photo sensor is provided, wherein the photo sensor is integrated with an active device array substrate of the display and fabricated through an existing process to reduce the manufacturing cost. A photosensitive silicon-rich dielectric layer or any other photosensitive material layer having similar photosensitive characteristics (for example, a photosensitive semiconductor layer) is adopted to form the photo sensor with a lower electrode and a transparent upper electrode. Thereby, the fill factor of the photo sensor is maximized and noises caused by a backlight source electrode are eliminated.

  • Publication number: 20110140128
    Abstract: Light emitting systems are disclosed. The light emitting system includes an LED that emits light at a first wave-length. A primary portion of the emitted first wavelength light exits the LED from a top surface of the LED that has a minimum lateral dimension Wmin. The remaining portion of the emitted first wavelength light exits the LED from one or more sides of the LED that has a maximum edge thickness Tmax (122, 124). The ratio Wmin/Tmax is at least 30. The light emitting system further includes a re-emitting semiconductor construction that includes a semiconductor potential well. The re-emitting semiconductor construction receives the first wavelength light that exits the LED from the top surface and converts at least a portion of the received light to light of a second wavelength.

  • Patent number: 7462881
    Abstract: A method of fabricating semiconductor devices, such as GaN LEDs, on insulating substrates, such as sapphire. Semiconductor layers are produced on the insulating substrate using normal semiconductor processing techniques. Trenches that define the boundaries of the individual devices are then formed through the semiconductor layers and into the insulating substrate, beneficially by using inductive coupled plasma reactive ion etching. The trenches are then filled with an easily removed layer. A metal support structure is then formed on the semiconductor layers (such as by plating or by deposition) and the insulating substrate is removed. Electrical contacts, a passivation layer, and metallic pads are then added to the individual devices, and the individual devices are then diced out.
