Method to neutralize incorrectly oriented printed diodes

A method for forming a circuit comprising:

• printing pre-formed devices having a pn junction on a first conductor, the devices having a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the devices are printed as an ink and have a proper orientation and a reverse orientation after settling on the first conductor;
• curing the ink such that one of the first electrode and second electrode, depending on the devices' orientations, electrically contacts the first conductor;
• depositing a second conductor over the devices such that the other of the first electrode and second electrode electrically contacts the second conductor, wherein groups of the devices are electrically connected in parallel by the first conductor and second conductor;
• and
• applying a sufficient voltage across the first conductor and second conductor to forward bias the devices having the reverse orientation, causing a sufficient current to flow through each of the devices having the reverse orientation to create an open circuit, such that the devices having the reverse orientation do not affect a rectifying function of the devices having the proper orientation.
