    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for a micro-LED (“uLED”) structure to facilitate efficient communication of an optical signal. In an embodiment, a columnar “nanopost” uLED structure comprises contiguous bodies of respective semiconductor materials, including a first body of a doped semiconductor material. The first body forms a pyramidal structure, wherein one or more others of the contiguous bodies are arranged on the first body in a vertically stacked configuration. More particularly, a second body of an undoped semiconductor material is to provide a quantum well of the uLED structure, wherein the second body does not cover or otherwise extend along vertical sidewall structures of the first body. In another embodiment, the pyramidal structure, in combination with the vertically stacked arrangement of semiconductor bodies, facilitates efficient communication of narrowly columnated optical signal by mitigating optical signal communication via vertical sides of the uLED structure.
