LIGHT EMITTING DIODE DEVICE, METHOD OF FABRICATION AND USE THEREOF

摘要

A light emitting diode device (200) which, in use, has its light emitting region (204) occupying a plane substantially perpendicular to a plane occupied by the surface (213) on which the device (200) is mounted. The primary light emission directions of the light emitting region (204) are parallel to the surface (213) on which the device (200) is mounted. The device (200) may have both its p-type and n-type semiconductor layers (202, 203) passivated by a layer or layers of light transmissive materials. There is a method for fabricating and mounting such a device (200). A plurality of the light emitting diode devices (200) can be used in a lighting assembly for providing a plurality of independently controllable lit regions.
