  • Patent number: 11967589
    Abstract: A micro multi-color LED device includes two or more LED structures for emitting a range of colors. The two or more LED structures are vertically stacked to combine light from the two more LED structures. Light from the micro multi-color LED device is emitted horizontally from each of the LED structures and reflected upward via some reflective structures. In some embodiments, each LED structure is connected to a pixel driver and/or a common electrode. The LED structures are bonded together through bonding layers. In some embodiments, planarization layers enclose each of the LED structures or the micro multi-color LED device. In some embodiments, one or more of reflective layers, refractive layers, micro-lenses, spacers, and reflective cup structures are implemented in the device to improve the LED emission efficiency. A display panel comprising an array of the micro tri-color LED devices has a high resolution and a high illumination brightness.
