Flexible display

摘要

A flexible display includes a plurality of pixel chips, chixels, provided on a flexible substrate. The chixels and the light emitters thereon may be shaped, sized and arranged to minimize chixel, pixel, and sub-pixel gaps and to provide a desired bend radius of the display. The flexible substrate may include light manipulators, such as filters, light converters and the like to manipulate the light emitted from light emitters of the chixels. The light manipulators may be arranged to minimize chixel gaps between adjacent chixels.

1. A flexible display comprising:
(a) a plurality of light emitting rigid chixels affixed to a flexible substrate, said plurality of light emitting rigid chixels collectively providing a visible display, said flexible display having both vertical and horizontal directions defined in the plane of said visible display; (b) each of said plurality of light emitting rigid chixels comprising:
i. a plurality of light emitting pixels affixed to a rigid substrate, said rigid substrate having a non-functional edge and an adjacent region devoid of any conductor;ii. said plurality of light emitting pixels arranged upon said rigid substrate to provide a spaced array of pixels providing a plurality of substantially equal first pixel gaps between adjacent light emitting pixels in both vertical and horizontal directions; (c) said plurality of light emitting rigid chixels arranged upon said flexible substrate to provide a spaced array of chixels, said spaced array of chixels providing a plurality of substantially equal second pixel gaps disposed across said non-functional edges between adjacent light emitting pixels in both vertical and horizontal directions; (d) further characterized in that each of said plurality of first pixel gaps is substantially equal to each of said plurality of second pixel gaps across said flexible display.
