Abstract

Abstract A light emitting device and a method of fabricating the same in which a first cladding layer is formed on a substrate, then red, green and blue light emitting portions each made of II-VI semiconductor are formed in a horizontal direction with respect to a surface of the substrate on the first cladding layer, then a second cladding layer is formed on the light emitting portions, and the red, green and blue light emitting portions are electrically separated from each other so that three primary color light emitting portions of a self luminous type are formed on the same substrate through single crystal growth process by changing composition of a compound semiconductor layer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 74 words
A method for fabricating a light emitting device comprising the steps of: forming a first cladding layer on a substrate; forming red, green and blue light emitting portions each made of II-VI semiconductor in a horizontal direction with respect to a surface of said substrate on said first cladding layer; forming a second cladding layer on said light emitting portions; and electrically separating said red, green and blue light emitting portions from each other.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 74 words
A method for fabricating a light emitting device comprising the steps of: forming a first cladding layer on a substrate; forming red, green and blue light emitting portions each made of II-VI semiconductor in a horizontal direction with respect to a surface of said substrate on said first cladding layer; forming a second cladding layer on said light emitting portions; and electrically separating said red, green and blue light emitting portions from each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 31 words
A method for fabricating a light emitting device according to claim 1, wherein said red, green and blue light emitting portions are made by modifying the composition of Zn and Cd.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 30 words
A method for fabricating a light emitting device according to claim 2, wherein said composition of Zn and Cd is modified by means of a mask provided above said substrate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 54 words
A method for fabricating a light emitting device according to claim 2, wherein a light shield structure is provided on said substrate and beams emitted from Zn and Cd material supply sources are irradiated onto said substrate obliquely with respect thereto to modify the compositions of Zn and Mg in said light emitting portions.
