Depth-resolved confocal emission images indicate light channeling along the GaN and sapphire layers as the source of crosstalk. Thin-film micro-pixel devices are proposed, whereby the light-trapping sapphire layers are removed by laser lift-off. Optical crosstalk is significantly reduced but not eliminated due to the remaining GaN layer. Another design involving micro-pixels which are completely isolated is further proposed; such devices exhibited low-noise and enhanced optical performances, which are important attributes for high-density micro-pixel LED applications including micro-displays and multi-channel optical communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DOI:<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1109\/LED.2004.826541\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1109\/LED.2004.826541\"> <\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/0957-4484\/19\/25\/255302\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/0957-4484\/19\/25\/255302\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/doi-org.eproxy.lib.hku.hk\/10.1088\/0957-4484\/19\/35\/355203\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi-org.eproxy.lib.hku.hk\/10.1088\/0957-4484\/19\/35\/355203\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1109\/JPHOT.2009.2020963\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1109\/JPHOT.2009.2020963\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1364\/OE.17.009873\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1364\/OE.17.009873\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1109\/LPT.2009.2022751\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1109\/LPT.2009.2022751\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/1.4934840\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1063\/1.4934840\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10.1063\/1.4934840<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; KH Li, YF Cheung, WS Cheung, and HW Choi Applied Physics Letters, vol. 107, 17, pp. 171103 (2015) The optical crosstalk phenomenon in GaN&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[5,4,8],"class_list":["post-260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publications","tag-display","tag-microled","tag-monolithic"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":263,"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260\/revisions\/263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eee.hku.hk\/microLED\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
