Abstract

A micro LED display panel with enhanced display properties includes a substrate, a plurality of micro LEDs on the substrate, at least one common electrode, and a plurality of contact electrodes. Each micro LED includes top and bottom ends and a sidewall between them. The common electrode is coupled to the top end and a contact electrode is coupled to the bottom end. An adjustment electrode insulated from the other electrodes is formed on the sidewall of each of the plurality of micro LEDs; the adjustment electrode being fed with a DC voltage creates an electric field limiting the direction of flow of charge carriers within each micro LED and thereby improving performance.

Claims (15)
