Abstract: A method for manufacturing a display panel comprising light emitting device including micro LEDs includes providing multiple donor wafers having a surface region and forming an epitaxial material overlying the surface region. The epitaxial material includes an n-type region, an active region comprising at least one light emitting layer overlying the n-type region, and a p-type region overlying the active layer region. The multiple donor wafers are configured to emit different color emissions. The epitaxial material on the multiple donor wafers is patterned to form a plurality of dice, characterized by a first pitch between a pair of dice less than a design width. At least some of the dice are selectively transferred from the multiple donor wafers to a common carrier wafer such that the carrier wafer is configured with different color emitting LEDs. The different color LEDs could comprise red-green-blue LEDs to form a RGB display panel.

Abstract: A structured phosphor device includes a frame member comprising wall regions separating multiple openings of window regions. Further, the structured phosphor device includes a phosphor material filled in each of the multiple openings with a first surface thereof being exposed to an excitation light from one or more laser sources to generate an emitted light out of each window region. Additionally, the structured phosphor device includes an anti-reflective film overlying the first surface of the phosphor material. Furthermore, the structured phosphor device includes a substrate attached to a second surface of the phosphor material in each of the multiple openings. Alternatively, the structured phosphor device includes an array of phosphor pixels dividing a plate of single-crystalline or poly-crystalline phosphor material separated by optically reflective and thermally conductive walls. A dynamic lighting system based on the arrays of phosphor pixels for single or full color image projection is also disclosed.
