  • Abstract
    A GaAs:Si-GaAsP heterostructure chip coated with NaYF4:Yb,Er phosphor has been fabricated to demonstrate a multi-color operation. The one-chip LEDs with a double junction showed a centro-symmetrical distribution of the light intensity of the each color, and assured uniformity of intermediate hue between green and red by adjusting the thickness of the phosphor. The brightness of green and red was more than 1OO ft.L at the current density of 20 A/cm2and the power efficiency was 2 \\sim 3 \\times 10^{-4} for green. The brightness of the green light was lower than that of 250 fL at 20 A/cm2for a single LED, because of the refraction of infrared light in the GaAsP layer.
