Flat panel displays are ubiquitous and dominated today by liquid crystal and OLED technologies. Increasingly, there is an expectation that microLED will exhibit superior performance metrics and become a new mainstream category of flat panel displays. They have the potential to be very bright, to be power efficient, and to enable new within-panel capabilities. High-throughput, high-yield, mass transfer technologies that accurately and cost-effectively integrate large arrays of wafer-fabricated microdevices onto non-native display substrates are key enablers for microLED displays. Transfer-printing with elastomer stamps is a candidate mass transfer technology for making next generation displays. A variety of microLED displays, including displays controlled with transfer-printed microICs, have been designed and fabricated using elastomer stamp transfer-printing.
