Patent ID: 8790963

Claim:
A method for forming a light emitting diode array, comprising: forming a first light emitting diode and a second light emitting diode on a first temporary substrate; coupling a second temporary substrate to an upper surface of the light emitting diodes; removing the first temporary substrate from the light emitting diodes; coupling a permanent substrate to a side of the light emitting diodes from which the first temporary substrate has been removed; removing the second temporary substrate from the light emitting diodes; forming a first polymer layer between the first light emitting diode and the second light emitting diode; forming an interconnect between a first electrode on the first light emitting diode and a second electrode on the second light emitting diode, wherein the interconnect is formed at least partially on the first polymer layer; and at least partially encapsulating the side of the light emitting diodes comprising the interconnect in a second polymer layer.
