Abstract

An emissive panel and associated assembly method are provided. The method provides an emissive substrate having an insulating layer with a top surface and a back surface, and a dielectric layer overlying the insulating layer patterned to form a plurality of wells. Each well has a bottom surface formed on the insulating layer top surface with a first electrical interface electrically connected to a first conductive pressure channel (CPC). The CPCs are each made up of a pressure via with sidewalls formed between the well bottom surface and the insulating layer back surface. A metal layer coats the sidewalls, and a medium flow passage formed interior to the metal layer. The method uses negative pressure through the CPCs to help capture emissive elements in a liquid flow deposition process.
