Samsung patents LED screens where pixels span across separate chips

Samsung describes a display design where a single pixel is made of tiny light-emitting diodes (LEDs) located on two different physical chips, or dies. Instead of keeping all parts of a pixel on one piece of silicon, the design splits the components across adjacent dies mounted on a backplane.

Why it mattersThis approach could help manufacturers create larger displays by combining smaller, easier-to-make LED chips, potentially improving the efficiency of producing high-resolution screens.

In the filing’s own words

A light emitting device includes a backplane, a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) dies mounted on the backplane, such that each of the LED dies includes a plurality of LEDs, and a pixel containing adjacent micro-LEDs of the plurality of LEDs located in adjacent LED dies of the plurality of LED dies.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A light emitting device, comprising: a backplane; a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) dies mounted on the backplane, wherein each of the LED dies comprising a plurality of LEDs; and a pixel comprising adjacent micro-LEDs of the plurality of LEDs located in adjacent LED dies of the plurality of LED dies.
