Abstract: Emitter panels and displays utilizing solid state packages and methods for fabricating the same are disclosed. One emitter panel comprises a raised barrier on a submount defining a plurality of cavities, each cavity having at least one LED in a pixel area. The panel is capable of receiving electrical signals for independently controlling the emission from the emitters. Solid state displays utilize the emitter panels mounted in relation to one another to generate a message or image. The panels comprise multiple pixels each having at least one light emitter, with each panel capable of receiving electrical signals for independently controlling the emission of at the pixels.
