Abstract: Micro-LED structures include an LED epilayer that may be formed before the micro-LED structure is coupled to a backplane substrate. In order to prevent light leakage and maximize light output, the sidewalls and other surfaces of the LED epilayer may be coated with a reflective coating. For example, the reflective coating may include a metal layer that is electrically insulated between dielectric layers from the micro-LED electrodes. The reflective coating may also be formed using multiple layers in a distributed Bragg reflector configuration. This reflective coating may be formed during the LED fabrication process before the micro-LED structure is coupled to the backplane. The pixel isolation structures on the backplane may also include a reflective coating that is applied above the LED epilayers.

Abstract: A photocurable composition includes a blue photoluminescent material, one or more monomers, and a photoinitiator that initiates polymerization of the one or more monomers in response to absorption of the ultraviolet light. The blue photoluminescent material is selected to absorb ultraviolet light with a maximum wavelength in a range of about 300 nm to about 430 nm and to emit blue light. The blue photoluminescent material also has an emission peak in a range of about 420 nm to about 480 nm. The full width at half maximum of the emission peak is less than 100 nm, and the photoluminescence quantum yield is in a range of 5% to 100%.

Abstract: Methods of making high-pixel-density LED structures are described. The methods may include forming a backplane substrate and a LED substrate. The backplane substrate and the LED substrate may be bonded together, and the bonded substrates may include an array of LED pixels. Each of the LED pixels may include a group of isolated subpixels. A quantum dot layer may be formed on at least one of the isolated subpixels in each of the LED pixels. The methods may further include repairing at least one defective LED pixel by forming a replacement quantum dot layer on a quantum-dot-layer-free subpixel in the defective LED pixel. The methods may also include forming a UV barrier layer on the array of LED pixels after the repairing of the at least one defective LED pixel.
