Abstract

Light extraction of internally generated light in LEDs into air has always been a major issue from the early days. The reabsorption of emitted light, long a stumbling block, is now almost always solved by the use of heterostructures. The majority of the internal light undergoes total internal reflection at the materials/air interface due to the large index mismatch. This is mitigated by redirecting light rays by light diffusing/scattering structures situated at interfaces. Powerful simulation techniques exist taking into account the various physical mechanisms into play. The frontier is reaching 95%+ extraction efficiencies which would allow 100%+ LED wall-plug efficiencies
