Abstract
A method and apparatus for forming a high resolution LED array. A plurality of LED chips are provided to form the LED array. Each LED chip has an electrode that is inward biased at each end of the chip by a predetermined amount. The size of each LED chip is removed by reducing, at each end of each chip, an amount of chip material substantially equal to the predetermined amount. The array is formed by placing each chip end to end with a gap between each chip, wherein the gap is suitably large for placement accuracies and a consistent pitch of 21.2 &mgr;m is maintained between each LED on each chip.
