  • Patent number: 11670666
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a light-emitting system comprising a plurality of LEDs having relatively small nearest-neighbor distances (e.g., a close-packed array of LEDs). In some cases, one or more LEDs of the plurality of LEDs comprise a via between a semiconductor layer (e.g., an n-type semiconductor layer forming part of a p-n junction) and a heat dissipation substrate. The presence of the vias may advantageously reduce or eliminate current crowding and may allow the LEDs to be operated at a high current density (e.g., at least 1A/mm2). In some cases, one or more LEDs of the plurality of LEDs comprise a first contact pad (e.g., an n-side contact pad) and a second contact pad (e.g., a p-side contact pad) positioned in any location, which may allow the LEDs to be configured in series or in parallel, or to be individually addressable. The first and second contact pads of the LEDs may be electrically connected to other elements of the light-emitting system (e.g.
