Abstract

A multi-channel visible light communication system includes a carrier board and a plurality of light-emitting device stacks. The light-emitting device stacks are arranged over the carrier board. Each of the light-emitting device stacks includes a first light-emitting device, a second light-emitting device and a first adhesive layer. The second light-emitting device is disposed over the first light-emitting device. The first adhesive layer is disposed between the first light-emitting device and the second light-emitting device. The first adhesive layer includes a first metasurface. The first metasurface is configured to pass a first color light emitted from the first light-emitting device and reflect a second color light emitted from the second light-emitting device.
