Abstract
A light source a backplane including drive circuits formed thereon, an array of micro-light emitting diodes (micro-LEDs) bonded to the backplane, and an array of micro-lenses on the array of micro-LEDs. Each micro-LED of the array of micro-LEDs includes a mesa structure that includes a p-doped semiconductor layer, an n-doped semiconductor layer, an active region between the p-doped semiconductor layer and the n-doped semiconductor layer, and a dielectric layer underneath the p-doped semiconductor layer or the n-doped semiconductor layer and surrounding the active region. In some embodiments, the center of the active region of a micro-LED of the array of micro-LEDs is horizontally offset from the center of the mesa structure of the micro-LED and the center of a corresponding micro-lens of the array of micro-lenses.
