SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE SELF-ASSEMBLY APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17798812 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR LIGHT-EMITTING DEVICE SELF-ASSEMBLY APPARATUS AND METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a self-assembly apparatus for semiconductor light emitting diodes (LEDs). The apparatus includes a fluid chamber, magnets, a power supply portion, and a repair portion.
- The self-assembly apparatus is designed to assemble semiconductor LEDs onto a board using magnetic forces and electric fields.
- The fluid chamber contains a fluid and provides a space for the assembly process.
- Magnets are used to apply a magnetic force to the semiconductor LEDs while the assembly surface of the board is submerged in the fluid.
- A power supply portion induces an electric field between assembly electrodes on the board, causing the semiconductor LEDs to be seated at predetermined positions on the board.
- The position of the magnets can be changed to move the semiconductor LEDs during the assembly process.
- A repair portion is included in the fluid chamber to separate some of the semiconductor LEDs from the board. It uses fluid spraying and suction to achieve this.
Potential Applications
- Manufacturing of semiconductor LED devices
- Assembly of LED arrays for lighting applications
- Production of LED displays and signage
Problems Solved
- Simplifies and automates the assembly process of semiconductor LEDs
- Enables precise positioning of LEDs on the board
- Provides a method for separating and repairing LEDs if needed
Benefits
- Increased efficiency and accuracy in LED assembly
- Reduces manual labor and human error in the assembly process
- Allows for easier repair and replacement of faulty LEDs
Original Abstract Submitted
Discussed is a self-assembly apparatus of a semiconductor light emitting diode. The self-assembly apparatus can include a fluid chamber including a space to accommodate a fluid and semiconductor light emitting diodes having a magnetic metal, a magnet to apply a magnetic force to the semiconductor light emitting diodes in a state where an assembly surface of a board is submerged in the fluid, a power supply portion to induce an electric field between assembly electrodes provided on the board so that the semiconductor light emitting diodes become seated at predetermined positions of the board while the semiconductor light emitting diodes are moved by a change in a position of the magnet, and a repair portion disposed in the fluid chamber and to separate some of the semiconductor light emitting diodes seated on the board from the board. The repair portion can be configured to spray and suction the fluid.
