  • Patent number: 11251348
    Abstract: Described herein are LED chips comprising pluralities of active regions on the same submount. These active regions are individually addressable, such that beam output from the LEDs can be controlled simply by selectively activating the desired active region in the plurality without resorting to incorporation of advanced optics and reflectors comprising complex moving parts. In some embodiments, one or more active regions can surround one or more other active regions. In some embodiments, the various active regions are individually addressable by virtue of each active region comprising its own anode and sharing a common cathode. In some embodiments, the various active regions are individually addressable by virtue of each active region comprising its own cathode and sharing a common anode.

  • Patent number: 11251167
    Abstract: Disclosed are multi-junction light emitting diode (LED) formed by using eutectic bonding and method of manufacturing the multi-junction LED. The multi-junction LED is formed by stacking a separately formed light emitting structure on another light emitting structure by using eutectic bonding. Since separately grown light emitting structure is stacked on the light emitting structure using the eutectic metal alloy bonding, it is possible to prevent crystal defects occurring between the light emitting structures when sequentially grown. Further, since the eutectic metal alloy can be formed in various patterns, it is possible to control and optimize adhesive strength, transmittance of the light generated in the upper light emitting structure, and resistance.
