Directional light emitters and electronic displays featuring the same

Abstract

A light emitting device, includes a plurality of light emitting elements each configured to emit light in a first wavelength band in a first direction, each light emitting element including a light emitting diode layer extending in a plane perpendicular to the first direction and configured to produce light of the first wavelength, each light emitting element further including one or more layers configured to enhance an optical mode of the light emitted in the first wavelength perpendicular to the plane or suppress an optical mode of the light emitted in the first wavelength in the plane; and one or more light directing elements positioned to receive the light emitted by the plurality of light emitting elements and direct the light from each of the light emitting elements into a corresponding one of a plurality of different principal directions.
