Abstract
This specification discloses LED arrays comprising a grid structure that physically and optically isolates adjacent LEDs or groups of LEDs in the array from each other. The grid structure comprises an arrangement of walls defining cells. Individual LEDs or groups of LEDs in the array are positioned within different ones of the cells, separated from adjacent LEDs or groups of LEDs by the grid walls. This specification also discloses fabrication processes for such LED arrays. In these fabrication processes, the grid structure is formed as a separate monolithic structure. The LEDs or pcLEDs are arranged on and attached to a substrate (for example, a printed circuit board), after which the grid structure is attached to the substrate in registry with the arrangement of LEDs or pcLEDs.
