Abstract

A light emitting diode (LED) array comprises non-segmented pixels in a light-emitting pixel area providing optical efficiency and minimizing dark-grid appearance. The LED array comprises: a monolithic body, a light-emitting pixel area, a plurality of anodes, a common cathode, and one or more dielectric materials. The light-emitting pixel area is integral to the monolithic body. The light-emitting pixel area includes semiconductor layers comprising: a second portion of an N-type layer, an active region, and a P-type layer. The monolithic body comprises a first portion of an N-type layer, and the second portion of the N-type layer is integral to the first portion of the N-type layer. Each anode comprises a P-contact layer and one or more P-contact materials, each P-contact layer is in contact with the P-type layer. The common cathode comprises one or more N-contact materials in contact with the first portion of the N-type layer.
