<p>The present invention is directed to self-assembly of structures, and, in particular, to self-assembly by action of a liquid patterned onto a substrate. In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to method of self-assembling a plurality of structures. The method includes patterning a first liquid onto a first substrate, and, while at least a portion of the first liquid remains in liquid form, self-assembling at least a portion of the plurality of structures onto the substrate by action of the first liquid and according to the pattern of the first liquid. In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a display. The display includes a first substrate and a first plurality of electrical connectors being in electrical connection with one another. The display further includes a second substrate, at least some of the second plurality of electrical connectors being in electrical connection with one another. The display further includes a plurality of display elements each electrically connected to at least one of the first plurality of electrical connectors and the second plurality of connectors. In this embodiment, each of the plurality of display elements has an average diameter of less than 1 millimeter.</p> |
