Abstract: Methods of forming integrated circuit devices include forming a sacrificial layer on a handling substrate and forming a semiconductor active layer on the sacrificial layer. The semiconductor active layer and the sacrificial layer may be selectively etched in sequence to define an semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, which includes a first portion of the semiconductor active layer. A multi-layer electrical interconnect network may be formed on the SOI substrate. This multi-layer electrical interconnect network may be encapsulated by an inorganic capping layer that contacts an upper surface of the first portion of the semiconductor active layer. The capping layer and the first portion of the semiconductor active layer may be selectively etched to thereby expose the sacrificial layer. The sacrificial layer may be selectively removed from between the first portion of the semiconductor active layer and the handling substrate to thereby define a suspended integrated circuit chip encapsulated by the capping layer.

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides micro-assembled micro-LED displays and lighting elements using arrays of micro-LEDs that are too small (e.g., micro-LEDs with a width or diameter of 10 μm to 50 μm), numerous, or fragile to assemble by conventional means. The disclosed technology provides for micro-LED displays and lighting elements assembled using micro-transfer printing technology. The micro-LEDs can be prepared on a native substrate and printed to a display substrate (e.g., plastic, metal, glass, or other materials), thereby obviating the manufacture of the micro-LEDs on the display substrate. In certain embodiments, the display substrate is transparent and/or flexible.

Abstract: A single metal layer device, such as a display or sensor, comprises a substrate and a patterned metal layer. The patterned metal layer forms a two-dimensional array of spatially separated column line segments that each extend only partially across the display substrate in a column direction and forms a one-dimensional array of row lines extending across the display substrate in a row direction different from the column direction. The row lines and column line segments are electrically separate in the patterned metal layer. Spatially separated electrical jumpers are disposed on the display substrate and electrically connect pairs of column line segments adjacent in the column direction. Each electrical jumper has an independent jumper substrate independent of and separate from the display substrate. In certain embodiments, spatially separated light-emitting pixel circuits are disposed on a display substrate and are electrically connected to at least one row line and one column line.

Abstract: A component includes a plurality of electrical connections on a process side opposed to a back side of the component. Each electrical connection includes an electrically conductive multi-layer connection post protruding from the process side. A printed structure includes a destination substrate and one or more components. The destination substrate has two or more electrical contacts and each connection post is in contact with, extends into, or extends through an electrical contact of the destination substrate to electrically connect the electrical contacts to the connection posts. The connection posts or electrical contacts are deformed. Two or more connection posts can be electrically connected to a common electrical contact.

Abstract: A transparent display comprises a display substrate having a display area and a bezel area adjacent to each of at least one corresponding side of the display area. The display substrate is at least partially transparent. Light-controlling elements are disposed in, on, or over the display substrate in the display area. Display wires are disposed in, on, or over the display substrate in the display area. The display wires are electrically connected to the light-controlling elements. Bezel wires are disposed in, on, or over the display substrate in the bezel area, the bezel wires electrically connected to respective ones of the display wires. A bezel transparency in the bezel area is greater than or equal to a display transparency in the display area.

Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) structure includes an LED substrate having a first side and a second side opposing the first side. One or more light-emitting diodes are disposed on the first side and arranged to emit light through the LED substrate. In certain embodiments, a wire-grid polarizer is disposed on the second side and arranged to polarize light emitted from the one or more light-emitting diodes. A plurality of different colored LEDs or an LED with one or more color-conversion materials can be provided on the LED substrate to provide white light. A spatially distributed plurality of the LED structures can be provided in a backlight for a liquid crystal display. A polarization-preserving transmissive diffuser can diffuse light emitted from the LED toward the liquid crystal layer and a polarization-preserving reflective diffuser can diffuse light emitted from the LED away from the liquid crystal layer.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method of making a semiconductor structure suitable for transfer printing (e.g., micro-transfer printing) includes providing a support substrate and disposing and processing one or more semiconductor layers on the support substrate to make a completed semiconductor device. A patterned release layer and, optionally, a capping layer are disposed on or over the completed semiconductor device and the patterned release layer or capping layer, if present, are bonded to a handle substrate with a bonding layer. The support substrate is removed to expose the completed semiconductor device and, in some embodiments, a portion of the patterned release layer. In some embodiments, an entry path is formed to expose a portion of the patterned release layer. In some embodiments, the release layer is etched and the completed semiconductor devices transfer printed (e.g., micro-transfer printed) from the handle substrate to a destination substrate.

Abstract: A micro-transfer printable electronic component includes one or more electronic components, such as integrated circuits or LEDs. Each electronic component has device electrical contacts for providing electrical power to the electronic component and a post side. A plurality of electrical conductors includes at least one electrical conductor electrically connected to each of the device electrical contacts. One or more electrically conductive connection posts protrude beyond the post side. Each connection post is electrically connected to at least one of the electrical conductors. Additional connection posts can form electrical jumpers that electrically connect electrical conductors on a destination substrate to which the printable electronic component is micro-transfer printed. The printable electronic component can be a full-color pixel in a display.
