Abstract
Mosaic devices including an apparatus includes at least one electroluminescence (EL) device and a system substrate. The at least one EL device can be configured to be coupled mechanically and electrically to the system substrate. The system substrate can be configured to receive the at least one EL device at a non-discrete location or orientation. The system substrate can be a smart system substrate configured to automatically identify a device type. The EL device can be an area-emitting device such as an organic light emitting diode (OLED) device.
