Abstract
GaInN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that employ a reflector consisting of an array of three-dimensional (3-D) SiO2 pyramids and a Ag layer are demonstrated to have enhanced light extraction compared with GaInN LEDs with planar Ag reflector. Ray tracing simulations reveal that the pyramid reflector provides 14.1% enhancement in extraction efficiency. Consistent with the simulation, it is experimentally demonstrated that GaInN LEDs with the pyramid reflector show 13.9% higher light output than LEDs with a planar Ag reflector. The enhancement is attributed to the appearance of an additional escape cone for light extraction enabled by the 3-D pyramid reflector
