Abstract: Methods and structures for forming arrays of LED devices are disclosed. The LED devices in accordance with embodiments of the invention may include an internally confined current injection area to reduce non-radiative recombination due to edge effects. Several manners for confining current may include etch removal of a current distribution layer, etch removal of a current distribution layer and active layer followed by mesa re-growth, isolation by ion implant or diffusion, quantum well intermixing, and oxide isolation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing multiple V-chip settings for a display device. The method comprises several steps, including a first step of receiving a first V-chip setting as input by a user via a graphical user interface. The first V-chip setting is then stored into a first portion of memory. Next, a second V-chip setting is received as input by a user via a graphical user interface. First and second V-chip settings include a maximum allowable TV rating, moving rating, and content rating, as well as other viewer information. The second V-chip setting is stored into a second portion of memory. First and second portions of memory are each separately removable by a user. A desired one of the multiple V-chip settings is selected by a viewer via a graphical user interface and then enabled. The V-chip setting is password protected to provide access security to specific viewers. Finally, media is provided to a display device according to the enabled V-chip setting.
