Abstract
Transfer methods disclosed herein include transferring micro-LEDs from a first carrier to a second carrier. The methods include bonding the micro-LEDs to the first carrier using a first releasable bonding layer that releases when exposed to actinic light. The micro-LEDs are then secured to a second carrier. The first bonding layer is then irradiated through the first releasable bonding layer through the first carrier with the actinic light to release the micro-LEDs from the first carrier. The second carrier can be a display backplane having bonding pads and the micro-LEDs can be secured to the bonding pads.
