Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to light-emitting devices, and related components, systems and methods. In one aspect, the present invention is related to light emitting diode (LED) light extraction efficiency. A non-limiting example, the application teaches a method for improving light emitting diode (LED) extraction efficiency, by providing a nano-rod light emitting diode; providing quantum wells; and reducing the size of said nano-rod LED laterally in the quantum-well plane (x and y), thereby improving LED extraction efficiency.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for improving light emitting diode (LED) extraction efficiency, said method comprising: (a) providing a nano-rod light emitting diode comprising a nano-rod; (b) providing quantum wells having a quantum-well plane (x and y); and (c) reducing diameter of the nano-rod of said nano-rod LED laterally in the quantum-well plane (x and y), thereby improving LED extraction efficiency. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ex…
