Abstract

A light-emitting diode (LED) die can include a p-n junction between a p-doped semiconductor material and an n-doped semiconductor material. The LED die can include vias that can electrically power the p-n junction. The vias can optionally be electrically connected in parallel to one another. A controller can supply current to the vias to electrically power the LED die. The vias can be distributed with a density that peaks at or near a center of the LED die and decreases with increasing distances away from the peak of the density, such that when the vias are electrically powered, the LED die emits light with a surface luminance that peaks at or near the center of the LED die and decreases with increasing distances away from the peak of the surface luminance.
