Abstract: A light emitting diode structure comprising a p-type region an n-type region; and a light emitting region for recombination of carriers injectable by the p-type region and the n-type region, wherein at least one of the n-type region and the p-type region is at least partially formed in a via passing through the light emitting region, wherein the via defines the perimeter of a light emitting surface of at least one pixel.

Abstract: A Light Emitting Diode (LED) array precursor is provided. The LED array precursor comprises a substrate having a substrate surface, a first LED stack, a p++ layer, a n++ layer and a second LED stack. The first LED stack is provided on a first portion of the substrate surface. The first LED stack comprises a plurality of first Group III-nitride layers defining a first semiconductor junction configured to output light having a first wavelength wherein a n-type side of the first semiconductor junction is orientated towards the substrate surface. The p++ layer is provided on the first LED stack, the p++ layer comprising a Group III-nitride. The n++ layer has a first portion covering the p++ layer of the first LED stack and a second portion covering a second portion of the substrate surface, wherein a tunnel junction is formed at an interface between the n++ layer and the p++ layer, the n++ layer comprising a Group III-nitride.
