Abstract

Light emitting devices and methods for their manufacture are provided. According to one aspect, a light emitting device is provided that comprises a substrate having a recess, and an interlayer dielectric layer located on the substrate. The interlayer dielectric layer may have a first hole and a second hole, the first hole opening over the recess of the substrate. The light emitting device may further include first and second micro LEDs, the first micro LED having a thickness greater than the second micro LED. The first micro LED and the second micro LED may be placed in the first hole and the second hole, respectively.

Claims (17)

1. A method of manufacturing a light emitting device comprising:

forming a recess on a substrate;

providing an interlayer dielectric layer over the substrate;

creating a first hole in the interlayer dielectric layer opening over the recess of the substrate;

creating a second hole in the interlayer dielectric layer;

in a first fluid transport stage, fluidically transporting a first micro light emitting device to the first hole; and

in a second fluid transport stage, fluidically transporting a second micro light emitting device to the second hole.

2. The method of manufacturing the light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a flow speed of the first fluid transport stage is faster than a flow speed of the second fluid transport stage.

3. The method of manufacturing a light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a flow speed of the first fluid transport stage is a sustained speed of 5 to 200 μm/s during a trapping period of the first fluid transport stage.

4. The method of manufacturing a light emitting device of claim 1 , wherein a flow speed of the second fluid transport stage is a sustained speed of 5 to 100 μm/s during a trapping period of the second fluid transport stage.

5. The method of manufacturing a light emitting device in the claim 1 , wherein the depth of the recess formed in the substrate is substantially equal to a thickness of the first hole in the interlayer dielectric layer.

6. The method of manufacturing a light emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising:

creating a third hole in the interlayer dielectric layer; and

in a third fluid transport stage, fluidically transporting a third micro light emitting device to the third hole.

7. The method of manufacturing a light emitting device of claim 1 , further comprising:

forming a plurality of through holes in the substrate, each of the through holes corresponding to one of the first and second holes of the interlayer dielectric layer; and

in the first fluid transport stage or the second fluid transport stage, drawing a portion of a transport fluid into the through holes.
