STRUCTURE INCLUDING COLLIMATOR ALIGNED WITH LIGHT EMITTING SEGMENT AND METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact light source comprising a plurality of light emitting segments and a collimator associated with each segment.SOLUTION: A light source comprising a semiconductor light emitting device is connected to a mount 12. The light emitting device comprises a plurality of segments with neighboring segments spaced less than 200 μm apart. The plurality of segments are grown on a single growth substrate. Each segment comprises a light emitting layer disposed between an n-type region and a p-type region. A spacer 72 is positioned on a top surface of the mount. The light emitting device is positioned in an opening in the spacer. A plurality of collimators is attached to the spacer 72, wherein each collimator is aligned with a single segment.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
