The characteristics of high-voltage light-emitting diodes (HVLEDs) consisting of a 64-cell LED array were investigated by employing various LED structures. Two types of HVLED were examined: a standard HVLED with a single roughened indium tin oxide (ITO) surface grown on a sapphire substrate and a thin-film HVLED (TF-HVLED) with a roughened n-GaN and ITO double side transferred to a mirror/silicon substrate. At an injection current of 24 mA, the output powers of the HVLEDs fabricated using a sapphire substrate and those fabricated using a mirror/silicon substrate were 170 and 216 mW, respectively. Because the TF-HVLED exhibited improved thermal dissipation and light extraction, it produced a greater output power than the HVLED fabricated using the sapphire substrate did.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
