Abstract

A Light emitting diode (LED) includes a mesa structure, a light emitting source within the mesa structure, and a primary emission surface on a side of the LED opposed to a top of the mesa structure. The light emitting source is configured to emit light anisotropically in a first direction perpendicular to a second direction of emission of the light from the LED at the primary emission surface.
