Abstract: Disclosed are a light emitting diode employing an array of nanorods and a method of fabricating the same. The light emitting diode comprises an array of semiconductor nanorods positioned on a substrate. An upper electrode layer is deposited on the array of the nanorods such that an empty space remains between adjacent ones of the nanorods. Since the space between adjacent ones of the nanorods is not filled with an insulating material, the light extraction efficiency of a light emitting diode can be improved and a method of fabricating the light emitting diode can be simplified.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a GaN light emitting diode. The GaN LED according to the present invention uses a GaN nanorod in which a multi quantum well formed by alternately stacking a plurality of InGaN layers and a plurality of GaN barriers is inserted into a p-n junction interface of a p-n junction GaN nanorod so that an n-type GaN nanorod, the multi quantum well, and a p-type GaN nanorod are sequentially arranged in a longitudinal direction. By arranging such GaN nanorods in an array, it is possible to provide an LED with higher luminance and higher light-emission efficiency as compared with a conventional laminated-film type GaN LED. It is possible to implement multi-color light with high luminance at a chip level by adjusting the amount of In and/or the thickness of the InGaN layers.

Abstract: Disclosed is a light emitting device employing nanowire phosphors. The light emitting device comprises a light emitting diode for emitting light having a first wavelength with a main peak in an ultraviolet, blue or green wavelength range; and nanowire phosphors for converting at least a portion of light having the first wavelength emitted from the light emitting diode into light with a second wavelength longer than the first wavelength. Accordingly, since the nanowire phosphors are employed, it is possible to reduce manufacturing costs of the light emitting device and to reduce light loss due to non-radiative recombination.

Abstract: An GaN light emitting diode (LED) having a nanorod (or, nanowire) structure is disclosed. The GaN LED employs GaN nanorods in which a n-type GaN nanorod, an InGaN quantum well and a p-type GaN nanorod are subsequently formed in a longitudinal direction by inserting the InGaN quantum well into a p-n junction interface of the p-n junction GaN nanorod. In addition, a plurality of such GaN nanorods are arranged in an array so as to provide an LED having much greater brightness and higher light emission efficiency than a conventional laminated-film GaN LED.

Abstract: Disclosed are a nanostructure with an indium gallium nitride quantum well and a light emitting diode employing the same. The light emitting diode comprises a substrate, a transparent electrode and an array of nanostructures interposed between the substrate and the transparent electrode. Each of the nanostructures comprises a core nanorod, and a nano shell surrounding the core nanorod. The core nanorod is formed substantially perpendicularly to the substrate and includes a first nanorod of a first conductivity type, an (AlxInyGa1-x-y)N (where, 0?x?1, 0?y?1 and 0?x+y?1) quantum well, and a second nanorod of a second conductivity type, which are joined in a longitudinal direction. The nano shell is formed of a material with a bandgap greater than that of the quantum well, and surrounds at least the quantum well of the core nanorod. Meanwhile, the second nanorods are connected in common to the transparent electrode.
