Emissive element harvest

Abstract

A method is provided for the selective harvest of microLED devices from a carrier substrate. Defect regions are predetermined that include a plurality of adjacent defective microLED devices on a carrier substrate. A solvent-resistant binding material is formed overlying the predetermined defect regions and exposed adhesive is dissolved with an adhesive dissolving solvent. Non-defective microLED devices located outside the predetermined defect regions are separated from the carrier substrate while adhesive attachment is maintained between the microLED devices inside the predetermined defect regions and the carrier substrate. Methods are also provided for the dispersal of microLED devices on an emissive display panel by initially optically measuring a suspension of microLEDs to determine suspension homogeneity and calculate the number of microLEDs per unit volume. If the number of harvested microLED devices in the suspension is known, a calculation can be made of the number of microLED devices per unit of suspension volume.
