  • Thin-film LED having a mirror layer and method for the production thereof
    Patent number: 9252331
    Abstract: A thin-film LED comprising a barrier layer (3), a first mirror layer (2) succeeding the barrier layer (3), a layer stack (5) succeeding the first mirror layer (2), and at least one contact structure (6) succeeding the layer stack (5). The layer stack (5) has at least one active layer (5a) which emits electromagnetic radiation. The contact structure (6) is arranged on a radiation exit area (4) and has a contact area (7). The first mirror layer (2) has, in a region lying opposite the contact area of the contact structure (6), a cutout which is larger than the contact area (7) of the contact structure (6). The efficiency of the thin-film LED is increased as a result.
