The manufacture of an optoelectronic device includes the formation of light-emitting diodes where each one has a wire form, the formation of spacing walls made of a first dielectric material transparent to the light radiation originating from the diodes. The lateral sidewalls of each diode are surrounded by spacing walls. Light confinement walls are made of a second material adapted to block the light radiation originating from the diodes. The light confinement walls directly cover the lateral sidewalls of the spacing walls by being in contact with the wherein. A thin layer of the second material is deposited so as to directly cover the lateral sidewalls of the spacing walls by being in contact with the wherein and cover the upper border of the light-emitting diodes. The empty spaces delimited between the spacing walls at the level of the areas between the light-emitting diodes are also filled by the thin layer.

The manufacture of an optoelectronic device includes the formation of wire-like shaped light-emitting diodes and the formation of spacing walls transparent to the light radiation originating from the diodes. The lateral sidewalls of each diode are surrounded by at least one of the spacing walls. Light confinement walls directly cover the lateral sidewalls of the spacing walls by being in contact with the latter. The radiation originating from each diode and directed in the direction of the adjacent diodes is blocked by the confinement wall. The upper borders of the diodes are covered by the light confinement material so as to ensure a light extraction by the rear face of the optoelectronic device. An optoelectronic device is also described as such.
