Their technology is an assembly and packaging technology which has no bearing on driver electronics (inverters and whatever else).

The hard part about this (beyond many, many devilish details) is the deposition of an insulator separating the top and bottom conductors, which has to be the right thickness on a micron scale, and not interfere with conductivity of the electrodes. A very big devil, indeed.

It may work, but it is not easy. Also, the LEDs have to be specifically fabricated for their technique; they cannot use feedstock from the existing industry.
