Abstract
A display is created using “smart pixels.” A smart pixel is a pixel of a display that integrates the pixel pipeline as part of the pixel, rather than using separate integrated circuits. A smart pixel may be based on an integrated stack that includes light emitting elements, an external data contact for receiving digital data for that pixel, and also the pixel pipeline from the digital data to the light emitting elements.
Claims23
A display comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a plurality of devices arranged on the substrate to form color pixels of the display, each device comprising an integrated stack with:
- at least two gallium nitride (GaN) light emitting diodes (LEDs) that produce light for an individual color pixel of the display;
- an external data contact for receiving digital data that represents the individual color pixel in a color space;
- and
- a pixel pipeline between the external data contact and the gallium nitride (GaN) LEDs, the pixel pipeline converting the digital data into drive signals for the gallium nitride (GaN) LEDs.

A display comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a plurality of devices arranged on the substrate to form pixels of the display, each device comprising an integrated stack containing:
- at least two gallium nitride (GaN) light emitting elements for a set of one or more pixels of the display;
- an external data contact for receiving digital data representing the set of pixels;
- and
- a set of one or more pixel pipelines between the external data contact and the gallium nitride (GaN) light emitting elements, the pixel pipeline converting the digital data into drive signals for the gallium nitride (GaN) light emitting elements.
