  • Patent number: 11901482
    Abstract: The manufacture of an optoelectronic device includes the formation of light-emitting diodes where each one has a wire form, the formation of spacing walls made of a first dielectric material transparent to the light radiation originating from the diodes. The lateral sidewalls of each diode are surrounded by spacing walls. Light confinement walls are made of a second material adapted to block the light radiation originating from the diodes. The light confinement walls directly cover the lateral sidewalls of the spacing walls by being in contact with the wherein. A thin layer of the second material is deposited so as to directly cover the lateral sidewalls of the spacing walls by being in contact with the wherein and cover the upper border of the light-emitting diodes. The empty spaces delimited between the spacing walls at the level of the areas between the light-emitting diodes are also filled by the thin layer.

  • Patent number: 11769856
    Abstract: The manufacture of an optoelectronic device includes the formation of wire-like shaped light-emitting diodes and the formation of spacing walls transparent to the light radiation originating from the diodes. The lateral sidewalls of each diode are surrounded by at least one of the spacing walls. Light confinement walls directly cover the lateral sidewalls of the spacing walls by being in contact with the latter. The radiation originating from each diode and directed in the direction of the adjacent diodes is blocked by the confinement wall. The upper borders of the diodes are covered by the light confinement material so as to ensure a light extraction by the rear face of the optoelectronic device. An optoelectronic device is also described as such.

  • Patent number: 11489088
    Abstract: There is described an optoelectronic device where each light-emitting diode has a wire-like shape. Spacing walls are formed so that the lateral sidewalls of each light-emitting diode are surrounded by at least one of the spacing walls. Light confinement walls directly cover the lateral sidewalls of the spacing walls by being in contact with the latter. The spacing walls have a convex-shaped outer face. At least one of the spacing walls has, over a lower portion, a thickness that increases when getting away from the substrate. They have, over an upper portion, a thickness that decreases at the level of the upper border of the light-emitting diode when getting away from the substrate. The light confinement walls have an inner face having a concave shape matching with the convex shape and directed towards the light-emitting diode for which it confines the light radiation thereof.
