  • Publication number: 20190103438
    Abstract: In some examples, a semiconductor device may comprise a semiconductor chip including a plurality of pixels, each pixel formed of a plurality of sub-pixels, such as a red sub-pixel, green sub-pixel and blue sub-pixel. Each sub-pixel may comprise a light emitting diode. A first signal line may connect to signal terminals of a first group sub-pixels (e.g., arranged in the same row), and a second signal line may connect to common terminals of a second group of sub-pixels (e.g., arranged in the same column). The number of chip pads may thus be reduced to provide increased design flexibility in location and/or allowing an increase in chip pad size. In some examples, a light transmissive material may be formed in openings of a semiconductor growth substrate on which light emitting cells of the sub-pixels were grown. The light transmissive material of some of the sub-pixels may comprise a wavelength conversion material and/or filter.

  • Patent number: 10243123
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) package includes a light-emitting structure, an optical wavelength conversion layer on the light-emitting structure, and an optical filter layer on the optical wavelength conversion layer. The light-emitting structure includes a first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, an active layer on the first-conductivity-type semiconductor layer, and a second-conductivity-type semiconductor layer on the active layer, and emits first light having a first peak wavelength. The optical wavelength conversion layer absorbs the first light emitted from the light-emitting structure and emits second light having a second peak wavelength different from the first peak wavelength. The optical filter layer reflects the first light emitted from the light-emitting structure and transmits the second light emitted from the optical wavelength conversion layer.
