Abstract

A display device is disclosed. In an embodiment a display device includes a carrier including a plurality of switches, a semiconductor layer sequence arranged on the carrier, the semiconductor layer sequence comprising an active region configured to generate primary radiation and forming a plurality of pixels, wherein each switch is configured to control at least one pixel and an optical element arranged on each pixel on a radiation exit surface of the semiconductor layer sequence facing away from the carrier.

Claims (32)

1. A display device comprising:

a carrier comprising a plurality of switches;

a semiconductor layer sequence arranged on the carrier, the semiconductor layer sequence comprising an active region configured to generate primary radiation and forming a plurality of pixels, wherein each switch is configured to control at least one pixel;

an optical element arranged on each pixel on a radiation exit surface of the semiconductor layer sequence facing away from the carrier; and

separating bodies on a top side of each pixel in direct contact with the pixel, wherein the separating bodies are impermeable to radiation emitted during operation of the display device, each separating body completely surrounding the optical element in a lateral direction, and wherein the top side of each pixel is free of the separating body in places where the pixel is covered by the optical element.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element is a lens.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein each pixel, on a side facing the carrier, has a connection area in which the pixels are electrically contacted, and wherein, in plan view of the display device, a surface of the connection area is at most 10% of a surface of the corresponding optical element.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a wherein each separating body is arranged between two adjacent optical elements.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein the optical element and the separating body are adapted to each another with respect to their materials in such a way that a material of the separating body acts as a dewetting agent for a material of the optical element in a liquid state.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display device is free of a bonding layer causing a cohesive connection between the radiation exit surface and the optical element.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein side surfaces of the pixels comprises a radiation-impermeable coating.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the radiation-impermeable coating has a reflectivity of at least 60% for the radiation emitted during operation of the display device.

9. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the radiation-impermeable coating is electrically isolated from the pixels.

10. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the pixels are electrically contacted by the radiation-impermeable coating.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a first contact layer arranged on the radiation exit surface of the pixels.

12. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the semiconductor layer sequence between adjacent pixels is completely separated.

13. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical element is a radiation conversion element configured to at least partially convert the primary radiation into secondary radiation.

14. The display device according to claim 13 , further comprising a carrier body arranged on the radiation exit surface, wherein the carrier body extends over a plurality of pixels, and wherein each radiation conversion element is arranged in depressions of the carrier body.

15. The display device according to claim 14 , wherein the carrier body between adjacent radiation conversion elements is radiation-impermeable.

16. A display device comprising:

a carrier comprising a plurality of switches;

a semiconductor layer sequence arranged on the carrier, the semiconductor layer sequence comprising an active region configured to generate radiation and forming a plurality of pixels, wherein each switch is configured to control at least one pixel;

an optical element arranged on each pixel on a radiation exit surface of the semiconductor layer sequence facing away from the carrier;

side surfaces of the pixels comprise a radiation-impermeable coating; and

separating bodies on a top side of each pixel in direct contact with the pixel, wherein the separating bodies are impermeable to radiation emitted during operation of the display device, each separating body completely surrounding the optical element in a lateral direction, wherein the top side of each pixel is free of the separating body in places where the pixel is covered by the optical element.

17. A display device comprising:

a carrier comprising a plurality of switches;

a semiconductor layer sequence arranged on the carrier, the semiconductor layer sequence comprising an active region configured to generate radiation and forming a plurality of pixels, wherein each switch configured to control at least one pixel; and

an optical element arranged on each pixel on a radiation exit surface of the semiconductor layer sequence facing away from the carrier,

wherein each pixel on a side facing the carrier has a connection area in which the pixel is electrically contacted, and

wherein, in plan view of the display device, a surface area of the connection area is at most 10% of a surface area of the corresponding optical element.

18. The display device according to claim 16 , wherein the optical element is a lens.
