Inorganic-light-emitter display with integrated black matrix
First Claim
1. An inorganic-light-emitter display, comprising:
- a display substrate;
a plurality of spatially separated inorganic light emitters distributed on the display substrate in a light-emitter layer, wherein the plurality of light emitters emit light through the display substrate; and
a light-absorbing black-matrix material surrounding at least a portion of the plurality of inorganic light emitters in the light-emitter layer, wherein the light-absorbing material at least partially covers the display substrate, wherein each light emitter of the plurality of inorganic light emitters has a light-emissive area and wherein the combined light-emissive areas of the plurality of inorganic light emitters is less than or equal to one eighth of the light-absorbing material area.

Abstract
An inorganic-light-emitter display includes a display substrate and a plurality of spatially separated inorganic light emitters distributed on the display substrate in a light-emitter layer. A light-absorbing layer located on the display substrate in the light-emitter layer is in contact with the inorganic light emitters. Among other things, the disclosed technology provides improved angular image quality by avoiding parallax between the light emitters and the light-absorbing material, increased light-output efficiency by removing the light-absorbing material from the optical path, improved contrast by increasing the light-absorbing area of the display substrate, and a reduced manufacturing cost in a mechanically and environmentally robust structure using micro transfer printing.
