A conductive matrix surrounds each LED and electrically communicates with each of the electrodes while an electrically-insulating material is positioned between adjacent diodes such that a first electrical current path is defined between the second and first electrodes through each diode. An isolating material is positioned in the conductive matrix between adjacent LEDs to isolate the adjacent second electrodes from one another. Further positioned between adjacent diodes is a material capable of permanently lowering its resistance to provide an alternate electrical pathway following a failure of an individual LED. High reliability high voltage vertical LED arrays are thereby provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2012Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company LimitedInventors: Wing Yan Ho, Enboa Wu
