Stacked Micro-LED Layout for Higher Internal Quantum Efficiency

The patent applies dimensionality change by arranging light-emitting elements of different widths on different layers (stacking in the vertical dimension). The first light-emitting element has a first width on a first layer, while the second light-emitting element has a second width on a second layer, allowing the total light-emitting area to be increased without expanding the planar footprint. This multi-layer configuration resolves the contradiction by improving internal quantum efficiency through increased effective area while containing the device within a compact form factor, thus managing complexity through vertical integration rather than horizontal expansion.

The patent utilizes vertical stacking on different layers to increase the effective light-emitting area while maintaining compact planar dimensions. The first light-emitting element is positioned on a first layer with a first width, and the second light-emitting element is positioned on a second layer with a second width, allowing area multiplication through the third dimension. This approach improves internal quantum efficiency by increasing the total active area without requiring higher precision in planar alignment, as the elements are distributed across layers rather than requiring precise lateral positioning.
