Abstract

A light emitting device and a method for fabricating the same are disclosed, whereby a thin mask film is changed to agglomerates by a simple thermal treatment process, and a plurality of nano openings, each opening spaced a distance apart, are formed in the agglomerates, a light emitting structure exposed to the nano openings is etched to form nano grooves and nano openings therein, enabling to enhance a light emitting area and to reduce the totally reflected light for an improvement of the light extraction efficiency.

Claims (8)

1. A light emitting device, comprising: a substrate; a first layer having a first polarity, formed on the substrate, with part of the first layer being removed and a plurality of nano grooves formed at an area of the first layer not removed; an active layer formed on the first layer not removed, and formed with nano openings communicating with the nano grooves; a second layer formed on the active layer and having a reverse polarity from that of the first layer, and formed with nano openings communicating with the nano openings; a first electrode formed on the second layer; and a second electrode formed on the first layer that is removed, wherein a transparent electrode is interposed between the second layer and the first electrode and the transparent electrode is formed with a plurality of nano openings, each opening communicating with a plurality of nano grooves.

2. The device as defined in claim 1 , wherein insulating filler is filled in the nano openings and the nano grooves, and a transparent electrode is formed on the second layer and the insulating filler.

3. The device as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first polarity is an N-type.

4. A light emitting device, comprising: a supporter; a first layer having a first polarity, formed on the supporter, and with a plurality of nano grooves; an active layer formed on the first layer and having nano openings, each opening communicating with the plurality of nano grooves; a second layer having a polarity reverse of the first polarity, the second layer formed on the active layer and having nano openings, each opening communicating with the nano openings of the active layer; and an electrode formed on the second layer, wherein a transparent electrode is interposed between the second layer and the first electrode and the transparent electrode is formed with a plurality of nano openings, each opening communicating with a plurality of nano grooves.

5. The device as defined in claim 4 , wherein insulating filler is filled in the nano openings and the nano grooves, and a transparent electrode is formed at an upper surface of the second layer and the insulating filler.

6. The device as defined in claim 5 , wherein the insulating filler is polyimide or spin-on glass (SOG) material.

7. The device as defined in claim 4 , wherein the supporter is a metal layer or a conductive substrate.

8. The device as defined in claim 4 , wherein each width of the nano openings is in the range of 1˜1000 nm.
