    1. Fascinating overall

    2. "they can align over 80 per minute or about 40,000 per day." - terrifying, as I assume this is a metric workers are held against :O

    80 per minute is less than a second for what sounds like several movements - move the die over, align, push down, move it out. While your eye is stuck to the microscope.

    So every LED die is manually aligned?

    Surely 10 years on that isn't true anymore??

    This was a lot lower-tech than I was expecting. Very cool!
