An array of light emitting devices, each device comprising a sloped wall mesa (24) of luminescent semiconductor material. Extending over the sloped wall mesas (24) is a metal contact (30). The array can be arranged as a parallel addressable system so that all devices (24) can be stimulated to emit light simultaneously. Alternatively, the array can be arranged as a matrix addressable array, in which case individual devices can be selectively stimulated.
