Abstract
Example embodiments are directed to a polarized light emitting diode and method of forming the same. The polarized light emitting diode may include a support layer, a semiconductor layer structure, and/or a polarization control layer. The semiconductor layer structure may be formed on the support layer and may include a light-emitting layer. The polarization control layer may be formed on the semiconductor layer structure and may include a plurality of metal nanowires. The polarized light emitting diode may be configured to control the polarization of emitted light. The method of forming a polarized light emitting diode may include forming on a substrate a semiconductor layer structure with a light emitting layer. A reflecting layer may be formed on the semiconductor layer structure with an attached support layer. The substrate may be removed from the semiconductor layer structure and a polarization control layer including metal nanowires may be formed on the semiconductor layer structure.
