We investigated the effect of Ti/Al and ITO/Ag n-type contacts on the emission uniformity and light output of different chip-size vertical-geometry light-emitting diodes (VLEDs) for vehicle headlamp application. The forward voltage of the Ti/Al-based reference VLEDs decreased from 3.38 to 3.20 V at 1500 mA with increasing chip size from (1280 × 1000 µm2) to (1700 × 1700 µm2), whereas that of the ITO/Ag-based samples changed from 3.37 to 3.15 V. Regardless of chip size, the ITO/Ag-based samples revealed higher light output power than the reference samples. For example, the ITO/Ag-based samples (chip size of 1700 × 1700 µm2) exhibited 3.4% higher light output power at 1500 mA than the reference samples. The ITO/Ag samples underwent less degradation in the Wall-plug efficiency (WPE) than the reference sample. For instance, the ITO/Ag-based samples (1700 × 1700 µm2) gave 4.8% higher WPE at 1500 mA than the reference samples. The ITO/Ag-based samples illustrated more uniform emission than the Ti/Al-based sample. Both the reference and ITO/Ag-based samples underwent no degradation when operated at 1500 mA for 1000 h.

ABSTRACTWe investigated the electroluminescence (EL) properties of Eu-doped GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE). The thickness of the active layer was varied to increase the light output power. With increasing the active layer thickness, the light output power monotonically increased. The maximum light output power of 50 μW was obtained for an active layer thickness of 900 nm with an injected current of 20 mA, which is the highest value ever reported. The corresponding external quantum efficiency was 0.12%. The applied voltage for the LED operation also increased with the active layer thickness due to an increase in the resistance of the LED. Therefore, in terms of power efficiency, the optimized active layer thickness was around 600 nm. These results indicate that the optimization of the LED structure would effectively improve the luminescence properties.
