  • Patent number: 8940562
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides the ability to produce backplanes for AMLCD and AMOLED. Specifically, each and every component of the backplanes can be printed. Depending on the resolution and screen size of the displays, backplanes can include over a million different components that must be printed that include components of the thin film transistor (TFT) and electrodes to address each of those TFTs. Even a slight misregistry of components during printing can lead to failure of one or more pixels, potentially rendering the entire display unsuitable for use. The present disclosure provides the ability to reproducibly and accurately print each and every component of the backplane for both AMLCD and AMOLED. The ability to completely print backplanes provides numerous advantages, such as reduced costs, improved throughput, more environmental friendliness, and the like.

  • Patent number: 8927303
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a light-emitting diode (LED) and a method for manufacturing the same. The LED comprises an LED die, one or more metal pads, and a fluorescent layer. The characteristics of the present invention include that the metals pads are left exposed for the convenience of subsequent wiring and packaging processes. In addition, the LED provided by the present invention is a single light-mixing chip, which can be packaged directly without the need of coating fluorescent powders on the packaging glue. Because the fluorescent layer and the packaging glue are not processed simultaneously and are of different materials, the stress problem in the packaged LED can be reduced effectively.
