Abstract

A method of forming micro-components is disclosed. The method includes pretesting and conditioning of the micro-components. The micro-components that fail testing or conditioning are discarded, and those remaining are assembled into a panel.

Claims (27)

1. A web fabrication process for manufacturing a plurality of light-emitting panels, the process comprising the steps of:

providing a first substrate;

disposing a plurality of micro-components on the first substrate, each of the micro-components comprising a shell filled with a plasma-forming gas or gas mixture;

texturizing a portion of each of the plurality of micro-components;

disposing a second substrate over the first substrate such that the plurality of micro-components are sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; and

dicing the first substrate and the second substrate to form individual light-emitting panels.

2. The process of claim 1 , wherein texturizing a portion of each of the plurality of micro-components is achieved by sandblasting the shell of the micro-component.

3. The process of claim 1 , wherein texturizing a portion of each of the plurality of micro-components is achieved by etching the shell of the micro-component.

4. The process of claim 1 , wherein texturizing a portion of each of the plurality of micro-components is achieved through lithography.

5. A web fabrication process for manufacturing a plurality of light-emitting panels, the process comprising the steps of:

providing a first substrate;

disposing a plurality of micro-components on the first substrate, each of said micro-components comprising a shell;

texturizing a portion of each of the plurality of micro-components, wherein said texturizing is achieved by sandblasting the shell of the micro-component;

disposing a second substrate over the first substrate such that the plurality of micro-components are sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; and

dicing the first substrate and the second substrate to form individual light-emitting panels.

6. A web fabrication process for manufacturing a plurality of light-emitting panels, the process comprising the steps of:

providing a first substrate;

disposing a plurality of micro-components on the first substrate, said micro-components comprising a shell;

texturizing a portion of each of the plurality of micro-components, wherein said texturizing is achieved by etching the shell of the micro-component;

disposing a second substrate over the first substrate such that the plurality of micro-components are sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; and

dicing the first substrate and the second substrate to form individual light-emitting panels.

7. A web fabrication process for manufacturing a plurality of light-emitting panels, the process comprising the steps of:

providing a first substrate;

disposing a plurality of micro-components on the first substrate, said micro-components comprising a shell;

texturizing the shell of each of the plurality of micro-components, wherein said texturizing is achieved through lithography;

disposing a second substrate over the first substrate such that the plurality of micro-components are sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; and

dicing the first substrate and the second substrate to form individual light-emitting panels.
