Definitions
- OLEDs organic light-emitting diodes
- the basic structure of an OLED is a light emissive organic layer, for instance a film of a poly (p-phenylenevinylene) (“PPV”) or polyfluorene, sandwiched between a cathode for injecting negative charge carriers (electrons) and an anode for injecting positive charge carriers (holes) into the organic layer.
- the electrons and holes combine in the organic layer generating photons.
- the organic light- emissive material is a conjugated polymer.
- the organic light-emissive material is of the class known as small molecule materials, such as ( 8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminium ( "Alq3" ). In a practical device one of the electrodes is transparent, to allow the photons to escape the device.
- a typical organic light-emissive device is fabricated on a glass or plastic substrate coated with a transparent anode such as indium-tin-oxide (“ITO").
- ITO indium-tin-oxide
- a layer of a thin film of at least one electroluminescent organic material covers the first electrode.
- a cathode covers the layer of electroluminescent organic material.
- the cathode is typically a metal or alloy and may comprise a single layer, such as aluminium, or a plurality of layers such as calcium and aluminium.
- holes are injected into the device through the anode and electrons are injected into the device through the cathode. The holes and electrons combine in the organic electroluminescent layer to form an exciton which then undergoes radiative decay to give light.
- the device may be pixellated with red, green and blue electroluminescent subpixels in order to provide a full colour display (for the avoidance of doubt, "pixel” as used herein may refer to a pixel that emits only a single colour or a pixel comprising a plurality of individually addressable subpixels that together enable the pixel to emit a range of colours).
- Full colour liquid crystal displays typically comprise a white-emitting backlight, and light emitted from the device is filtered through red, green and blue colour filters after passing through the LC layer to provide the desired colour image.
- a full colour display may be made in the same way by using a white or blue OLED in combination with colour filters.
- use of colour filters with OLEDs even when the pixels of the device already comprises red, green and blue subpixels can be beneficial.
- aligning red colour filters with red electroluminescent subpixels and doing the same for green and blue subpixels and colour filters can improve colour purity of the display (for the avoidance of doubt, "pixel” as used herein may refer to a pixel that emits only a single colour or a pixel comprising a plurality of individually addressable subpixels that together enable the pixel to emit a range of colours).
- CCMs colour change media
- the active matrix backplane for such displays can be made with amorphous silicon (a-Si) or low temperature polysilicon (LTPS).
- LTPS has high mobility but can be non-uniform and requires high processing temperatures which limits the range of substrates that it can be used with.
- Amorphous silicon does not require such high processing temperatures, however its mobility is relatively low, and can suffer from non-uniformities during use due to aging effects.
- backplanes formed from either LTPS or a-Si both require processing steps such as photolithography, cleaning and annealing that can damage the underlying substrate. In the case of LTPS, in particular, a substrate that is resistant to these high-energy processes must be selected.
- the invention provides a display comprising one or more chiplet sensors for sensing light incident on the chiplet
- the senor is configured to generate a response to external light sources.
- the response may be an adjustment to compensate pixel brightness for ambient light conditions.
- the sensor is configured to generate a response to light emitted by the display.
- the display may be a touch-screen display, and the display may be capable of receiving a digital communication such as an infra-red signal originating from an infra red controller or pointer.
- the invention provides an optical displacement sensor for a circuit comprising a plurality of chiplets, the sensor comprising a photo-sensitive area formed by an array of individual light-sensitive elements, each element configured to produce a signal or signals in response to incident light, and wherein the displacement of a chiplet from a predetermined position is derivable from the output signal or signals.
- the sensor preferably comprises control circuitry for compensating positional variation derived from the displacement of the chiplet.
- the plurality of individual light sensitive elements may be photodiodes and/or phototransistors.
- the incident photons may originate from organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).
- OLEDs organic light emitting diodes
- the sensor may be integrated with the chiplet.
- a single chiplet sensor may serve multiple subpixels.
- the invention provides a method of measuring the displacement of at least one chiplet in an active display, the method comprising: detecting photons from one or more light sources and producing output signals based on the detection; comparing the relative output signals to determine the position of the one or more light sources with respect to the chiplet.
- the invention provides method of compensating for variation of pixel emission brightness over time, wherein emission from a pixel or subpixel is detected by a chiplet and any variation in detected pixel emission brightness is adjusted.
- one chiplet sensor detects light emitted from a plurality of pixels or subpixels.
- the chiplet may both drive one or more pixels or subpixels of the display and and sense emission from these pixels or subpixels.
- the light emitted from the display according to any of the above aspects of the invention may be coupled to the chiplet via an optical structure selected from one of a waveguide or a grating structure.
- the invention provides a method of compensating for positional variations in chiplet drive circuitry arising during manufacture of a display comprising a plurality of chiplets and light sources driven by the chiplets, the method comprising: providing a photon detection array positioned so as to detect positional output in light from the light sources and produce an output signal based on the detection; comparing the output signal with a predetermined value representing the expected position of the light source to calculate the positional deviation; controlling drive circuitry so as to drive the light sources in a manner which compensates for the detected deviation.
- an optical sensor is included in at least some chiplets.
- an array of photodiodes is used as the optical sensor to detect the position of the emitting OLED with respect to the chiplet through examination of the relative signals on photodiodes.
- photodiodes are used together to detect the emission from the photodiode, correctly compensating for the relative amount of light falling on the sensors due to pixel to chiplet misalignment, and use the corrected signal to program the OLED for a particular light output.
- Figure 1 illustrates a device wherein the device is formed by firstly forming an anode on a substrate followed by deposition of an electroluminescent layer and a cathode;
- Figure 2A shows a chiplet-integrated optical sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 2B illustrates an alternative view of the arrangement shown in Fig. 2A.
- the chiplets may be formed from semiconductor wafer sources, including bulk semiconductor wafers such as single crystalline silicon wafers, polycrystalline silicon wafers, germanium wafers; ultra thin semiconductor wafers such as ultra thin silicon wafers; doped semiconductor wafers such as p-type or n-type doped wafers and wafers with selected spatial distributions of dopants (semiconductor on insulator wafers such as silicon on insulator (e.g. Si-SiO2, SiGe); and semiconductor on substrate wafers such as silicon on substrate wafers and silicon on insulator.
- semiconductor wafer sources including bulk semiconductor wafers such as single crystalline silicon wafers, polycrystalline silicon wafers, germanium wafers; ultra thin semiconductor wafers such as ultra thin silicon wafers; doped semiconductor wafers such as p-type or n-type doped wafers and wafers with selected spatial distributions of dopants (semiconductor on insulator wafers such as silicon on insul
- printable semiconductor elements of the present invention may be fabricated from a variety of nonwafer sources, such as a thin films of amorphous, polycrystalline and single crystal semiconductor materials (e.g. polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, polycrystalline GaAs and amorphous GaAs) that is deposited on a sacrificial layer or substrate (e.g. SiN or SiO2) and subsequently annealed, and other bulk crystals, including, but not limited to, graphite, MoSe2 and other transition metal chalcogenides, and yttrium barium copper oxide.
- amorphous, polycrystalline and single crystal semiconductor materials e.g. polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, polycrystalline GaAs and amorphous GaAs
- substrate e.g. SiN or SiO2
- other bulk crystals including, but not limited to, graphite, MoSe2 and other transition metal chalcogenides, and yttrium barium copper oxide.
- the chiplets may be formed by conventional processing means known to the skilled person.
- each driver or LED chiplet is up to 500 microns in length, preferably between about 15-250 microns, and preferably about 5-50 microns in width, more preferably 5- 10 microns.
- the stamp used in transfer printing is preferably a PDMS stamp.
- the surface of the stamp may have a chemical functionality that causes the chiplets to reversibly bind to the stamp and lift off the donor substrate, or may bind by virtue of, for example, van der Waals force. Likewise upon transfer to the end substrate, the chiplets adhere to the end substrate by van der Waals force and / or by an interaction with a chemical functionality on the surface of the end substrate, and as a result the stamp may be delaminated from the chiplets.
- the chiplets patterned with drive circuitry for addressing pixels or subpixels of a display may be transfer-printed onto a substrate carrying tracking for connection of the chiplets to a power source and, if required, drivers outside the display area for programming the chiplets.
- the stamp and end substrate may be registered by means known to the skilled person, for example by providing alignment marks on the substrate.
- tracking for connection of the chiplets may be applied after the chiplets have been transfer printed.
- the backplane comprising the chiplets is preferably coated with a layer of insulating material to form a planarisation layer onto which the display is constructed. Electrodes of the display device are connected to the output of the chiplets by means of conducting through-vias formed in the planarisation layer.
- the device according to the invention comprises a glass or plastic substrate 1 onto which the backplane (not shown) has been formed, an anode 2 and a cathode 4.
- An electroluminescent layer 3 is provided between anode 2 and cathode 4.
- At least one of the electrodes is semi-transparent in order that light may be emitted.
- the anode typically comprises indium tin oxide.
- the cathode is transparent in order to avoid the problem of light emitted from electroluminescent layer 3 being absorbed by the chiplets and other associated drive circuitry in the case where light is emitted through the anode.
- a transparent cathode typically comprises a layer of an electron injecting material that is sufficiently thin to be transparent. Typically, the lateral conductivity of this layer will be low as a result of its thinness. In this case, the layer of electron injecting material is used in combination with a thicker layer of transparent conducting material such as indium tin oxide.
- a transparent cathode device need not have a transparent anode (unless, of course, a fully transparent device is desired), and so the transparent anode used for bottom-emitting devices may be replaced or supplemented with a layer of reflective material such as a layer of aluminium.
- transparent cathode devices are disclosed in, for example, GB 2348316.
- Suitable materials for use in layer 3 include small molecule, polymeric and dendrimeric materials, and compositions thereof.
- Suitable electroluminescent polymers for use in layer 3 include poly(arylene vinylenes) such as poly(p-phenylene vinylenes) and polyarylenes such as: polyfluorenes, particularly 2,7-linked 9,9 dialkyl polyfluorenes or 2,7-linked 9,9 diaryl polyfluorenes; polyspirofluorenes, particularly 2,7-linked poly-9,9- spirofluorene; polyindenofluorenes, particularly 2,7-linked polyindenofluorenes; polyphenylenes, particularly alkyl or alkoxy substituted poly-l,4-phenylene.
- Suitable electroluminescent dendrimers for use in layer 3 include electroluminescent metal complexes bearing dendrimeric groups as disclosed in, for example, WO 02/066552.
- Further layers may be located between anode 2 and cathode 3, such as charge transporting, charge injecting or charge blocking layers.
- the device is preferably encapsulated with an encapsulant (not shown) to prevent ingress of moisture and oxygen.
- encapsulants include a sheet of glass, films having suitable barrier properties such as alternating stacks of polymer and dielectric as disclosed in, for example, WO 01/81649 or an airtight container as disclosed in, for example, WO 01/19142.
- a getter material for absorption of any atmospheric moisture and / or oxygen that may permeate through the substrate or encapsulant may be disposed between the substrate and the encapsulant.
