Light-emitting diode display devices with mirror

A light-emitting diode display including a substrate having a driving circuitry and a plurality of light emitting diode structures disposed on the substrate. Each light-emitting diode structure has a light emitting diode with a light emission zone having a planar portion, and a pigmentless light extraction layer of a UV-cured ink disposed over the light-emitting diode. The light extraction layer has a gradient in index of refraction along an axis normal to the planar portion, and the index of refraction of the light extraction layer decreases with distance from the planar portion.

Light-emitting diode light extraction layer having graded index of refraction

The present disclosure is generally related to 3D imaging capable OLED displays. A light field display comprises an array of 3D light field pixels, each of which comprises an array of corrugated OLED pixels, a metasurface layer disposed adjacent to the array of 3D light field pixels, and a plurality of median layers disposed between the metasurface layer and the corrugated OLED pixels. Each of the corrugated OLED pixels comprises primary or non-primary color subpixels, and produces a different view of an image through the median layers to the metasurface to form a 3D image. The corrugated OLED pixels combined with a cavity effect reduce a divergence of emitted light to enable effective beam direction manipulation by the metasurface. The metasurface having a higher refractive index and a smaller filling factor enables the deflection and direction of the emitted light from the corrugated OLED pixels to be well controlled.
