Demonstration of Trench Isolated Monolithic GaN μLED Displays Enabled by Photoresist Planarization by Bryan Melanson, Matthew Seitz, Jing Zhang

“…An alternative approach is to create a monolithic display in the InGaN/GaN material system. However, efficient pixel isolation is a concern for monolithic GaN displays, as the lack of truly insulating undoped GaN (u-GaN) makes it difficult to electrically isolate rows or columns of μLEDs from one another. …”
