    Abstract: A system of interlocking LED panel tiles includes a first tile having at least one layer of light emitting diodes (LEDs) provided on a substrate, where the substrate is mounted on a substantially rectangular supporting plate having interlocking features. The substrate overlaps the interlocking features. The first tile has a set of positive and negative voltage conductors running between the two sets of opposite edges of the tile as busses. Multiple identical tiles are provided. Each tile has the interlocking features along their edges that firmly physically connect to abutting tiles to create a lamp having any pattern of tiles selected by the user. By interlocking the tiles, the positive and negative conductors are automatically connected to electrically connect the LEDs in the tiles in parallel, and the interlocking features are hidden by the overlying substrate. Additional conductors may be used to provide greater interconnection flexibility.

    Abstract: A programmable circuit includes an array of printed groups of microscopic transistors or diodes having pn junctions. The devices are pre-formed and printed as an ink and cured. The devices have a proper orientation and a reverse orientation after settling on a conductor layer. The devices are connected in parallel within small groups. To neutralize the reverse-oriented devices, a sufficient voltage is applied across the parallel-connected diodes to forward bias only the devices having the reverse orientation. This causes a sufficient current to flow through each of the reverse-orientated devices to destroy an electrical interface between an electrode of the devices and the conductor layer to create an open circuit, such that those devices do not affect a rectifying function of the devices in the group having the proper orientation. An interconnection conductor pattern may then interconnect the groups to form complex logic circuits.

    Abstract: Small silicon spheres, less than 200 um in diameter, are desirable for use in forming solar panels. To make such small spheres, a large-area glass substrate has etched in its surface millions of identical indentations, such as having diameters less than 200 um. A silicon ink, formed of a fluid containing nanoparticles of milled silicon, is then deposited over the substrate to completely fill the indentations, and the excess ink is removed. The ink is heated to evaporate the fluid and melt the silicon nanoparticles. A photonic system is used to rapidly melt the silicon. The melted silicon forms a sphere in each indentation by surface tension. Since the density of the silicon in the ink and the volume of each indentation are well defined, the volume of each sphere is well defined. The substrates are reusable. Hundreds of millions of spheres may be produced per minute using the process.

    Abstract: Ultra-thin flexible LED lamp layers are formed over a release layer on a substrate. The LED lamp layers include a first conductor layer overlying the release layer, an array of vertical light emitting diodes (VLEDs) printed over the first conductor layer, where the VLEDs have a bottom electrode electrically contacting the first conductor layer, and a second conductor layer overlying the VLEDs and contacting a top electrode of the VLEDs. Other layers may be formed, such as protective layers, reflective layers, and phosphor layers. The LED lamp layers are then peeled off the substrate, wherein the release layer provides a weak adherence between the substrate and the LED lamp layers to allow the LED lamp layers to be separated from the substrate without damage. The resulting LED lamp layers are extremely flexible, enabling the LED lamp layers to be adhered to flexible target surfaces including clothing.

    Abstract: A PV module is formed having an array of PV cells, where the cells are separated by gaps. Each cell contains an array of small silicon sphere diodes (10-300 microns in diameter) connected in parallel. The diodes and conductor layers may be patterned by printing. A continuous metal substrate supports the diodes and conductor layers in all the cells. A dielectric substrate is laminated to the metal substrate. Trenches are then formed by laser ablation around the cells to sever the metal substrate to form electrically isolated PV cells. A metallization step is then performed to connect the cells in series to increase the voltage output of the PV module. An electrically isolated bypass diode for each cell is also formed by the trenching step. The metallization step connects the bypass diode and its associated cell in a reverse-parallel relationship.
