METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING LIQUID CRYSTAL ON SILICON (LcoS) AND OTHER SENSITIVE DEVICES

摘要

A device package has a bezel attached to a carrier. The bezel extends toward a surface of an optical component to which a device mounted in the carrier is attached. The bezel extends in a direction and to a distance that allows the bezel to act as a guide for a dislodging tool. The dislodging tool is guided to an interface where an adhesive attaches the device to the optical component. Preferably, the device is a microdisplay attached to a prism assembly. The bezel may also be used to attach the device package to the optical component with either an air gap or a liquid coupling the microdisplay and/or an optical stack and the optical component. An air bladder, air bubble, or tube device is included in the liquid coupling to accommodate expansion of the liquid.
