LEDS IN DISPLAYS
• Traditional SMD or CSP packaged LEDs are commonly used as the illumination source for the backlighting of LCD
panels.
• LEDs are also commonly used in large direct emissive video billboards used in stadium, advertising and video facades.
In those devices, discrete packaged LED containing red, green and blue chips form the individual pixels with pitches
typically ranging from 1 to 40 mm depending on display size and resolution.
• As of Q1-2017, there is no other format of commercial displays using LEDs as a direct emissive element to
constitute individual pixels or sub-pixels. The reasons for this limitation are multiple and include cost and
manufacturability.
• Nevertheless, the idea of µLED displays with high resolution and sub millimetric pixel pitch is almost as old as the
invention and commercialization of LEDs themselves. Over the last 3-4 years it has generated a lot of excitement and
development as well as investment and M&A activity.

MicroLED DISPLAY ASSEMBLY
• The art of making µLED displays consists in processing a bulk LED substrate into an array of micro-LEDs which are
poised for pick up and transfer to a receiving substrate for integration into heterogeneously integrated system: the
display (which integrates, LEDs, transistors, optics etc…).
• The micro-LEDs can be picked up and transferred individually, in groups, or as the entire array of 100,000’s of µLEDs:
MicroLED chips
can be
singulated and
transferred
individually or
as large
monolithic
arrays.
Massively Parallel Transfer (“Pick and Place”) Arrays Monolithic Integration
Individual µLED dies or small chips comprising small amounts of
µLED emitters (<10) are singulated and individually picked up,
transferred, positioned and assembled to a backplane containing
the pixel driving circuitry (typically TFT on glass or flexible
substrate). The pitch on the display is typically lower than that
of the donor wafer.
Large chips comprising large quantities of µLED emitters
(>10,000’s to millions) are hybridized onto a backplane
(typically Si CMOS). Individual pixels are not physically
singulated. The pitch of the donor array matches the pitch of
the display.

BACKPLANE AND PIXEL BANK STRUCTURE
• The front plane structure
including the interconnects
and the pixel banks can be
built directly upon the
backplane.
• The bank layer thickness
and angle can be used to
adjust the display viewing
angle. µLED dies are
positioned into the pixel
bank by the transfer tool
and connected by solder
reflow or other processes.
• More than 1 µLED of the
same color can be placed in
each bank if redundancy is
required to mitigate risks of
dead/malfunctioning pixels
(see “Defect Management”
section of this report)
The TFT
backplane can
be essentially
identical to that
of an OLED
display all the
way through the
planarization
layer.

Die Stabilization and
release:
How to provide enough force
to hold the die onto the
donor wafer but allow its
release to the pick up heads
Die Selection:
The pitch of the µLEDs on the
donor wafer is usually smaller
than that on the display. Some
die need to be picked up
while others remain on the
donor wafer
Die Pick Up:
Provide enough force to
overcome the bonding
force of the die to the
donor wafer to allow pick
up.
Die Placing
Provide enough force to
overcome the bonding
force of the die to the
transfer array and drop it
off on the receiving
substrate

KEY IP HOLDERS AND CONCLUSION
• More than 20 companies have patented massively parallel transfer
processes for µLEDs. Many more processes could be inferred by
combining the different technology bricks described in this section.
• Most are probably just concepts that haven’t yet reached the stage
of prototypes. None has yet been fully validated in volume
production to the exception of the PDMS stamp process
developed by the team of Prof. Rogers at the University of
Illinois and used by startup Semprius for photovoltaic
applications. X-Celeprint is developing and commercializing the
technology for µLEDs and other micro-devices.
• Beside X-Celeprint, the most advanced company in the field of
massively parallel transfer of µLEDs is likely to be Apple via its
acquisition of Luxvue in 2014. We believe their the technology to
be more complex (MEMS vs polymer stamp) but deliver higher
throughputs and be capable of handling smaller size of µLEDs. Both
companies however remains secretive about actual performance of
their technology.
• Another issue not developed in this report is that of the transfer
equipment which must ensure very high positioning accuracy at
both the pick up and drop off steps. Multiple patents describing
transfer tools have been filed by XXX, XXX, XXX etc.
Mass transfer is a
cornerstone of
µLED display
technologies.
Luxvue and X-
Celeprint have
solid IP portfolio
on the topic.

DEFECT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
Illustrations: reducing die size to a level where redundancy becomes cost effective, i.e. when decrease in repair cost offsets epiwafer cost increase.The graph
shows our simulation for various applications of the epiwafer cost thresholds and corresponding die size at which redundancy becomes cost effective
For displays with
high pixel counts
and pixel density,
pixel repair
dominates the
transfer cost.
Pixel redundancy
becomes efficient
if die size can be
reduced.

MOCVD REQUIREMENT
• Assuming displays realized with XX x XX µm size µLEDs, about XXx multiwafer (Veeco’s Epik 700 type) or XXX
single-wafer reactors would be needed to supply Apple needs. If the µLED size can be reduced to XX x XX µm, the
numbers drop to XX and XX respectively.
• Note however that those numbers assume a production run rate averaged throughout the year. Higher numbers
(+20~30%) would be needed to absorb the higher run-rates typically experienced in the few the months preceding a
product launch.

or the order, the non-breaching Party may send a notification
to the other by recorded delivery letter upon which, after a
period of thirty (30) days without solving the problem, the
non-breaching Party shall be entitled to terminate all the
pending orders, without being liable for any compensation.

  • 16. 16 LEDS IN DISPLAYS • Traditional SMD or CSP packaged LEDs are commonly used as the illumination source for the backlighting of LCD panels. • LEDs are also commonly used in large direct emissive video billboards used in stadium, advertising and video facades. In those devices, discrete packaged LED containing red, green and blue chips form the individual pixels with pitches typically ranging from 1 to 40 mm depending on display size and resolution. • As of Q1-2017, there is no other format of commercial displays using LEDs as a direct emissive element to constitute individual pixels or sub-pixels. The reasons for this limitation are multiple and include cost and manufacturability. • Nevertheless, the idea of µLED displays with high resolution and sub millimetric pixel pitch is almost as old as the invention and commercialization of LEDs themselves. Over the last 3-4 years it has generated a lot of excitement and development as well as investment and M&A activity. Packaged LEDs are commonly used in large video displays and LCD backlight.

  • 20. 20 MicroLED DISPLAY ASSEMBLY • The art of making µLED displays consists in processing a bulk LED substrate into an array of micro-LEDs which are poised for pick up and transfer to a receiving substrate for integration into heterogeneously integrated system: the display (which integrates, LEDs, transistors, optics etc…). • The micro-LEDs can be picked up and transferred individually, in groups, or as the entire array of 100,000’s of µLEDs: MicroLED chips can be singulated and transferred individually or as large monolithic arrays. Massively Parallel Transfer (“Pick and Place”) Arrays Monolithic Integration Individual µLED dies or small chips comprising small amounts of µLED emitters (<10) are singulated and individually picked up, transferred, positioned and assembled to a backplane containing the pixel driving circuitry (typically TFT on glass or flexible substrate). The pitch on the display is typically lower than that of the donor wafer. Large chips comprising large quantities of µLED emitters (>10,000’s to millions) are hybridized onto a backplane (typically Si CMOS). Individual pixels are not physically singulated. The pitch of the donor array matches the pitch of the display.

  • 21. 21 BACKPLANE AND PIXEL BANK STRUCTURE • The front plane structure including the interconnects and the pixel banks can be built directly upon the backplane. • The bank layer thickness and angle can be used to adjust the display viewing angle. µLED dies are positioned into the pixel bank by the transfer tool and connected by solder reflow or other processes. • More than 1 µLED of the same color can be placed in each bank if redundancy is required to mitigate risks of dead/malfunctioning pixels (see “Defect Management” section of this report) The TFT backplane can be essentially identical to that of an OLED display all the way through the planarization layer. ©2017 | www.yole.fr | MicroLED Displays Passivation Gate (metal) Backplane substrate (Glass, metal, plastic) Gate Insulator Channel (semiconductor)Drain Source Gate Insulator (Dielectric) Planarization Layer (Also known as Interlayer Dielectric: ILD) Electrode to pixel Cross section of a microLED display subpixel Bottom electrode Bank layer Other circuitry (not detailed): switch transistors, compensation transistors, capacitors, Passivation Transparent electrode BackplaneFrontplane Light Simplified top view of the pixel bank Subpixel bank Sub pixel Pixel bank

  • 23. 23 PICK AND PLACE PROCESSES Dozens of transfer technologies have been proposed. The major technology options identified by screening more than 450 are shown here ©2017 | www.yole.fr | MicroLED Displays Die Stabilization and release: How to provide enough force to hold the die onto the donor wafer but allow its release to the pick up heads Die Selection: The pitch of the µLEDs on the donor wafer is usually smaller than that on the display. Some die need to be picked up while others remain on the donor wafer Die Pick Up: Provide enough force to overcome the bonding force of the die to the donor wafer to allow pick up. Die Placing Provide enough force to overcome the bonding force of the die to the transfer array and drop it off on the receiving substrate Stabilization Release Donor wafer Donor wafer Donor wafer Display backplane
  • 24. 24 KEY IP HOLDERS AND CONCLUSION • More than 20 companies have patented massively parallel transfer processes for µLEDs. Many more processes could be inferred by combining the different technology bricks described in this section. • Most are probably just concepts that haven’t yet reached the stage of prototypes. None has yet been fully validated in volume production to the exception of the PDMS stamp process developed by the team of Prof. Rogers at the University of Illinois and used by startup Semprius for photovoltaic applications. X-Celeprint is developing and commercializing the technology for µLEDs and other micro-devices. • Beside X-Celeprint, the most advanced company in the field of massively parallel transfer of µLEDs is likely to be Apple via its acquisition of Luxvue in 2014. We believe their the technology to be more complex (MEMS vs polymer stamp) but deliver higher throughputs and be capable of handling smaller size of µLEDs. Both companies however remains secretive about actual performance of their technology. • Another issue not developed in this report is that of the transfer equipment which must ensure very high positioning accuracy at both the pick up and drop off steps. Multiple patents describing transfer tools have been filed by XXX, XXX, XXX etc. Mass transfer is a cornerstone of µLED display technologies. Luxvue and X- Celeprint have solid IP portfolio on the topic. ©2017 | www.yole.fr | MicroLED Displays Main patent applicants involved in massively parallel pick and place technology (according to the number of their patent families*) * A patent family is a set of patents filed in multiple countries by a common inventor(s) to protect a single invention.

If the µLED size can be reduced to XX x XX µm, the numbers drop to XX and XX respectively. • Note however that those numbers assume a production run rate averaged throughout the year. Higher numbers (+20~30%) would be needed to absorb the higher run-rates typically experienced in the few the months preceding a product launch.
