Claim Text:
1. A method of assembling an array of light emitting diode (LED) dies on a substrate comprising: positioning dies in fluid; exposing the dies to a magnetic force to attract the dies onto a front side of a substrate using magnets that are arranged at pre-determined locations either directly on the backside of the substrate or near the backside of the substrate; and forming permanent electrical and/or mechanical connections between the dies and the substrate thereby constituting an array of LED dies on a substrate, wherein the exposing further comprises exposing the dies to a magnetic force that is arranged either on or beneath the substrate and beneath a surface of the fluid to sink the dies beneath the surface of the fluid and onto respective ones of the magnets that are arranged either on or near the substrate, and wherein prior to the positioning, the method further comprises forming a buoyant layer on one side of each of the dies.
