Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research presented provides a systematic attempt to address the major challenges for the development of flexible micro-light-emitting diode (LED) displays. The feasibility of driving GaN-based micro-LEDs with a-Si:H-based thin-film transistors by using a thin-film bonding and transfer process was initially proposed. This approach was implemented to create an inverted pixel structure where the cathode of the LED is connected directly to the drain contact of the drive TFT resulting in a pixel circuit having more than 2× higher brightness compared to a standard pixel design. This "paste-and-cut" technique was further demonstrated for the development of flexible displays, enabling the study of the effect of mechanical strain and self-heating of the devices on plastic. Through a finite-element analysis, it was determined that the applied stress-induced strain near the quantum wells of the micro-LEDs are negligible for devices with diameters smaller than 20 microns. Thermal simulation of the LEDs on plastic revealed that a copper bond layer thicker than 600 nm can be used to alleviate self-heating effects of the micro-LEDs. Using these design parameters, micro-LED arrays with 20 micron diameter were integrated onto flexible substrates to validate the theoretical predictions. Further scaling of the LED size revealed substrate bending also tilts the direction of the LED structure, allowing further extraction of light. This effect was demonstrated using nanowire LEDs with a 250 nm diameter transferred onto plastic, where the light output could be enhanced by 2× through substrate bending. Finally, through the removal of bulk defect and surface states, fabrication of highly efficient micro-LEDs having > 400% increase in light output (compared to conventional diodes) was achieved. This outcome was accomplished through the removal of the defective buffer region adjacent to the active layers of the LED and minimization of the non-radiative recombination at the sidewalls. The former was accomplished through the removal of the buffer layer after separation of the LED from the process wafer while the latter is accomplished using a surround cathode gate electrode to deplete free carriers from the sidewall of the forward-biased LED. The resulting performance enhancements provided a basis for high-brightness flexible micro-LED displays developed in this dissertation.

Download or read book Backplane Circuit Design with Amorphous Silicon Thin Film Transistors for Flexible Displays written by Qing Li and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, rapid advancement in LED fabrication has enabled the possibility of using GaN micro-LEDs to be the light media in a display panel. It has superior performance in many aspects when compared with OLED technology, such as high contrast, wide viewing angle, and low power consumption. These advantages have enabled a possibility of using micro-LED technology to realize flexible displays. Currently, OLEDs need high mobility low-temperature-poly-silicon (LTPS) TFTs to be the backplane driving circuit material because lower mobility TFTs are inadequate to drive OLEDs. However, LTPS TFTs have poor uniformity over a large area due to unpredictable grain sizes and require additional fabrication processes which prevent it from being integrated onto a large-area flexible platform. On the other hand, conventional amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) technology used on LCD panels have an edge in terms of uniformity over large-area and low-cost fabrication. Even though the field-effect mobility of a-Si:H TFTs is much less than LTPS technology, it is sufficient to power up micro-LEDs with decent pixel density, which is impossible with OLEDs. However, the nature of amorphous materials gives rise to electrical instability issues. The output current of a-Si:H TFTs gradually decreases over time under electrical stress, which results in dimmer micro-LEDs in pixels. Moreover, the lack of complementary p-type TFTs in a-Si:H limits the integration of driver and control circuits onto the flexible platform to realize a full "system-on-flex". To overcome such shortcomings of a-Si:H technologies, this thesis makes a contribution in providing a solution to compensate the output current degradation by a novel pixel circuit with simple control scheme, as well as bootstrapped logic circuits that can be used as row driver and control circuits on flexible substrates. The proposed compensation pixel and row driver circuits can be combined to facilitate the realization of a "system-on-flex" backplane for a display panel with a-Si:H and micro-LED technologies.

Download or read book Flexible Heterogeneously Integrated MicroLED Displays in Elastomeric Substrates Using Fan Out Wafer Level Packaging written by Goutham Ezhilarasu and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been a growing demand to develop next-generation flexible displays that can achieve higher brightness, dynamic range, and contrast ratios compared to LCDs or OLEDs. This demand is driven by new application spaces such as wearable Augmented Reality (AR), conformable vehicular Head UP Displays (HUDs), and emerging medical fields such as Optogenetics, where implanted high brightness displays are used to stimulate biological cells such as neurons. The only display technology that can meet these requirements is flexible microLED displays. microLEDs are light-emitting devices made from compound semiconductor materials like GaN or InP that have demonstrated unparalleled brightness (>106 cd/m2), color quality, response times (in ns range), and lifetime (>100,000 hours). The task of fabricating flexible microLED displays has, however, proven to be complicated. Inorganic microLEDs cannot be fabricated directly on flexible organic substrates due to the high processing temperatures and lattice matching considerations. Instead, they are fabricated on a growth substrate, released from it, and then assembled onto a target flexible substrate using a massively parallel transfer process, simply called mass transfer. However, flexible microLED display technology has not picked up due to (1) complex and expensive mass transfer processes that suffer from yield issues & (2) primitive flexible electronic integration approaches that use coarse interconnects and are not well suited to the heterogeneous integration of micron-sized LEDs. To overcome these challenges, we have developed a novel microLED mass transfer process based on thermoplastic adhesive (HD3007) bonding that is much simpler to implement, low cost, and can potentially attain many high yields (> 99%) and panel-level scalability. We also use a novel Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP) technology called FlexTrateTM to heterogeneously integrate 50 X 100 m2 blue InGaN/GaN microLEDs with Si CMOS display driver ICs at 40 m interconnect pitch to demonstrate a high density, functional, high resolution ( 150PPI) flexible microLED display. Detailed analytic and experimental studies of the various process steps, especially the Laser Lift-Off (LLO) process that is used to release GaN microLEDs from the growth substrate, is conducted in this thesis.
