1. An area-emissive light-emitting diode (LED) device, comprising:
- a) a substrate having an internal substrate surface, an external substrate surface opposite the internal substrate surface, and a substrate edge;
b) an array of area-emissive LED pixels formed on the internal substrate surface with an edge gap between the substrate edge and the LED pixel on the internal substrate surface nearest the substrate edge;
c) an array of color filters formed in a layer between each of the area-emissive LED pixels and the internal substrate surface or in a layer on a side of at each of the LED pixels opposite the internal substrate surface;
d) a black matrix formed in a layer between the area-emissive LED pixels;
e) a light-extraction structure formed in the edge gap and at least partially exterior to the LED pixels; and
f) another array of area-emissive LED pixels having another edge gap that is adjoined to the edge gap of the array of area-emissive LED pixels,wherein the edge gaps emit between 5% to 150% of an average area luminance of the arrays of area-emissive LED pixels.
