Abstract:
1. A method of providing electrical connections to a plurality of electronic elements within a multilayer module, the method comprising: providing a first active layer having a first edge and comprising a flexible, polymer substrate, at least one electronic element formed within the flexible, polymer substrate, and a plurality of electrically-conductive traces which provide electrical connections from the first edge to the electronic element of the first active layer; providing a second active layer having a second edge and comprising a flexible, polymer substrate, at least one electronic element formed within the flexible, polymer substrate, and a plurality of electrically-conductive traces which provide electrical connections from the second edge to the electronic element of the second active layer; applying an adhesive to at least one of a top surface of the first active layer and a bottom surface of the second active layer and adhering the top surface of the first active layer to the bottom surface of the second active layer, wherein the first edge and the second edge are aligned with each other thereby forming a side of the multilayer module; and applying a plurality of electrically-conductive lines along the side of the multilayer module, the electrically-conductive lines providing electrical connections to the electrically-conductive traces of the first and second active layers.
