Abstract

Based on Monte Carlo ray tracing we present a study of GaN die with a reflective layer coated on a p-GaN surface inside the light guide as a planar light source. We simulated the lights extracted from the GaN die implanting pyramid microstructure on the top surface of sapphire or on the top surface of p-GaN. Micro pyramid array with different slanted angle from 5⁰ to 85⁰ is shown to effectively improve the light extraction efficiency. In addition, the pattern sapphire substrate with slanted angle of ten degrees is found to be an effective way to increase the lateral directionality than the surface texture.
