  • Patent number: 11942587
    Abstract: A semiconductor light-emitting device includes a junction or active layer between doped semiconductor layers coextensive over a contiguous device area, corresponding sets of electrical contacts connected to the semiconductor layers, and multiple nanostructured optical elements at a surface of one semiconductor layer opposite the other semiconductor layer. Composite electrical contacts of one set include a conductive layer, a transparent dielectric layer between the conductive and semiconductor layers, and vias through the dielectric layer connecting the conductive and semiconductor layers. The nanostructured elements redirect light, propagating laterally in optical modes supported by the semiconductor layers, to exit the device. The composite electrical contacts can be independent and define independently addressable pixel areas of the device. The nanostructured elements and thin semiconductor layers can yield high contrast between adjacent pixel areas without trenches between them.
