Abstract:
1. A method of producing, as an intended, end-result product, a non-functionalized, active-matrix, precursor DNA fluid-assay micro-structure comprising providing a single supporting substrate having a surface, forming in common on that surface plural TFT-technology-fabricated pixels, each including (a) an assay site, and (b) disposed on the substrate surface, operatively and laterally adjacent the formed assay site, an energizable, light-field-creating structure including (1) a switching transistor, and (2) a light-field-generating optical medium operatively connected to, and energizable by operation of, the transistor, the optical medium being structured, when energized by operation of the transistor, to create, from, and adjacent, its location on the substrate surface, and to bathe the assay site with, an ambient light field which is operable to assist in performing subsequent DNA fluid-assay sensor-probe creation on the assay site, and by said providing and forming, completing the intended, end-result product.
