摘要
Linearly polarized light emission is analyzed in nonpolar light-emitting diodes (LEDs) covering the blue to green spectral range. In photoluminescence, m-plane GaInN/GaN structures reach a polarization ratio from 0.70 at 460nm to 0.89 at 515nm peak wavelength. For a-plane structures, the polarization ratio is 0.53 at 400nm and 0.60 at 480-510 nm. In electroluminescence the polarization ratio is 0.77 at 505nm in 350 x 350 mu m(2) m-plane devices at 20 mA. Such a device should allow 44% power saving compared with nonpolarized c-plane LEDs combined with a polarizing filter, as commonly used in LED-backlit liquid crystal displays.
