ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE AND ELECTRIC APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME |
摘要 |
To improve light extraction efficiency of a deep ultraviolet light-emitting diode (DUVLED), a typical LED element has a single crystal substrate made of sapphire or AlN, The ultraviolet layer is arranged as a film stack having an n-type conductive layer, a recombination layer, and a p-type conductive layer. A stack of a p-type contact layer and a reflective electrode is disposed on the p-type conductive layer. The ultraviolet emission layer and a p-type contact layer are made of mixed crystal of AlN and GaN. The transmittance for the emission wavelength of the p-type contact layer is increased, and the light extraction efficiency is improved. Also an LED element whose p-type contact layer is configured in a layered structure and whose reflective electrode is patterned is provided. Moreover, an electric appliance having such LED elements is provided. |
