IPC: H03M1/56
Filed: 2019-10-28
Abstract: The apparatus comprises: a first input 101 for receiving a first sensed voltage, which may be a difference ΔVbe between voltage drops across two diodes; a second input 102 for receiving a second sensed voltage, which may be a voltage drop Vbe across a single diode; and circuits 111 and 112 for providing respective first and second reference voltages VR1 and VR2, which vary at respective first and second fixed rates.

During the first phase, a comparator 120 compares the first sensed voltage ΔVbe against the first ramp reference voltage VR1 and outputs a first logic value L1 for a period of time t1 proportional to the first sensed voltage ΔVbe. During a second phase, the comparator compares the second sensed voltage Vbe against the second ramp reference voltage VR2 and outputs a second logic value L2 for a period of time t2 proportional to the second sensed voltage (fig.7). The average value of the comparator output represents the temperature, over any number of cycles comprising the two phases. The low power circuit may operate asynchronously.

Title: Micro-lightguide for micro-LED
Inventor: SAMIR MEZOUARI
IPC: G02B6/00
Filed: 2020-04-08
Abstract: Fabricating a frusto-conical micro-lightguide for collimation of light emitted from micro-LEDs (210, figure 2) is done by depositing a layer of UV-curable material 910 onto a substrate 920. A first part of the layer is selectively cured using UV light 930 having a conical irradiation profile to define a shape of the frusto-conical micro-lightguide. The UV-curable material is developed to remove one of the first part of the layer and a second part of the layer, wherein the second part of the layer is uncured. The conical irradiation profile may take the form of a substantially inverted cone and is achieved by transmitting the UV light through a mask (1020, figure 10b) that is moving in a circular trajectory, such that the first planar surface of the frusto-conical micro-lightguide is proximate the substrate. The substrate may be a processed wafer comprising a plurality of micro-LEDs
