Abstract
A micro-light emitting diode (LED) display and a method of fabricating the same. The method includes aligning a display backplane and a source semiconductor wafer with one another. A plurality of backplane contact pads of a first width are fixed to the backplane and include first solder pads thereon with a second width smaller than the first width. The wafer includes thereon a plurality of micro-LEDs, and a plurality of micro-LED contact pads fixed to the micro-LEDs and having a third width smaller than the first width. The method includes: aligning such that at least some of the micro-LED contact pads register with corresponding first solder pads; releasing at least some of the micro-LEDs from the wafer onto corresponding first solder pads; and forming a plurality of second solder pads by melting the corresponding first solder pads. The second solder pads bond the at least some of the micro-LEDs to corresponding ones of the plurality of backplane contact pads, the second solder pads further extending on said corresponding ones of the plurality of backplane contact pads beyond a footprint thereon of said some of the micro-LEDs.
