Abstract
Disclosed are various aspects of a μ-LED or a μ-LED array for augmented reality or lighting applications, in particular in the automotive field. The μ-LED is characterized by particularly small dimensions in the range of a few μm.
Claims12
An optoelectronic device, comprising:
- a layer stack comprising an active region and at least one structured semiconductor layer;
- wherein the at least one structured semiconductor layer comprises a photonic structure, the photonic structure comprising recesses etched into the at least one structured semiconductor layer having a first periodicity in a first direction and a second periodicity, different than the first periodicity, in a second direction different than the first direction,
- wherein the first periodicity in the first direction generates a first optical bandgap in the first direction within the at least one structured semiconductor layer and the second periodicity in the second direction generates a second optical bandgap in the second direction within the at least one structured semiconductor layer,
- wherein the first optical bandgap is different from the second optical bandgap;
- and
- a converter material arranged in the recesses of the photonic structure and configured to emit, when excited by an incident excitation radiation, converted radiation,
- wherein the two optical bandgaps generated by the first and second periodicities cause the converted radiation to emit substantially perpendicular from a surface of the at least one structured semiconductor layer.
