Claim Text:
1. An illumination structure comprising: a bottom conductor layer; a plurality of vertical light emitting diodes (VLEDs), each of the VLEDs having a bottom electrode electrically contacting the bottom conductor layer, each of the VLEDs having a flat first transparent conductor layer forming a top electrode, with no opaque metal portions forming the top electrode; a second transparent conductor layer directly over and contacting the first transparent conductor layer of each of the VLEDs, with no opaque metal layer in-between, such that the plurality of VLEDs are electrically connected in parallel and light passes through the first transparent conductor layer and the second transparent conductor layer when the VLEDs are illuminated by a voltage differential between the second transparent conductor layer and the bottom conductor layer; and a dielectric material between the VLEDs and overlying the bottom conductor layer but not substantially covering the first transparent conductor layer, wherein the second transparent conductor layer overlies the dielectric layer.
