  • Publication number: 20210075189
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a thermally-conductive and electrically-conductive substrate, a bonding layer, a galvanic isolation layer, a P-type electrode, a P-type Bragg reflection layer, a diode light-emitting layer, an N-type Bragg band-pass reflection layer and an N-type electrode stacked in sequence. The galvanic isolation layer comprises a cylindrical opening for accommodating the diode light-emitting layer. The N-type electrode comprises a light-output opening facing the cylindrical opening and completely covering the cylindrical opening. When current input by the N-type electrode passes through the N-type Bragg band-pass reflection layer, it is concentrated under constraint of the galvanic isolation layer and passes through the diode light-emitting layer via the cylindrical opening according to correspondence in position and size of the cylindrical opening and the light-output opening.

  • Patent number: 10541512
    Abstract: The present invention is a surface emitting laser luminescent diode structure which is characterized in that a recess comprises two tilted slopes on two sides and a protruding trapezoidal cylinder located at the bottom center of the recess is disposed at the bottom of a laser resonant cavity. Thus, a reflecting mirror disposed along the surface of the recess includes two tilted side surfaces as leak-proof sides, which reduces the divergence angle and avoid the lateral light leakage. Additionally, a current isolating layer is disposed on the reflecting mirror and is designed to satisfy the condition (¼*wavelength*1/refractive index) of an optical film, thereby allowing the reflecting mirror to receive an excellent reflectance. Besides, the current isolating layer limits the flow direction of the current, thus increasing operating speed.
