Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: an unpackaged inorganic light-emitting diode (LED) die having first and second distinct non-coplanar contacts on a first surface thereof; and a substrate that is (i) pliant in response to force and resilient or (ii) permanently deformable in response to force, the substrate having first and second conductive traces on a first surface thereof, the first and second conductive traces being separated on the substrate by a gap therebetween, wherein the first and second contacts are adhesively bonded to and in electrical contact with, respectively, the first and second conductive traces with a pressure-activated adhesive material notwithstanding the non-coplanarity of the first and second contacts, and without electrically bridging the traces together or electrically bridging the contacts together, the substrate comprising a local flexing or a local deformation for maintaining electrical contact between the contacts and traces during operation of the unpackaged inorganic LED die.
