Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A semiconductor light-emitting array comprising:
first and second doped semiconductor layers that are arranged for emitting light at a nominal emission vacuum wavelength λ0 resulting from carrier recombination at a junction or active layer between the first and second semiconductor layers, the first and second semiconductor layers and the junction or active layer being coextensive over a contiguous area of the array;
a set of multiple transparent dielectric bodies protruding away from the first semiconductor layer from a first surface thereof opposite the second semiconductor layer;
on at least a portion of a surface of each dielectric body opposite the first semiconductor layer, a corresponding electrically conductive layer in electrical contact with the first semiconductor layer at the first surface thereof so as to form at least a portion of a corresponding one of multiple, independent first electrical contacts, each dielectric body and the corresponding first electrical contact defining a corresponding discrete, circumscribed pixel region within the contiguous area of the array that is separated from other circumscribed pixel regions of the array; and
a set of one or more second electrical contacts in electrical contact with the second semiconductor layer.
