Abstract:
A light-emitting panel comprising:a first substrate, wherein the first substrate comprises a plurality of sockets; a plurality of micro-components, wherein each micro-component comprises a shell at least partially filled with a plasma-forming gas and wherein at least one micro-component of the plurality of micro-components is at least partially disposed in each socket; a second substrate, wherein the second substrate is opposed to the first substrate such that the at least one micro-component is sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate and further wherein the second substrate comprises a plurality of lenses configurable to adjust a field of view of the light-emitting panel wherein a ratio of lenses to sockets is 1:1; and a plurality of electrodes, wherein at least two electrodes of the plurality of electrodes are adhered to only the first substrate, only the second substrate, or at least one electrode is adhered to each of the first substrate and the second substrate and wherein the at least two electrodes are arranged so that voltage supplied to the at least two electrodes causes one or more micro-components to emit radiation.
