Patent ID: 7435996

Claim:
A nanowire light emitting device comprising: a substrate; a first conductive layer formed on the substrate; a plurality of nanowires vertically formed on the first conductive layer, each of the nanowires comprising an n-type doped portion and a p-type doped portion; a light emitting layer between the n-type doped portion and the p-type doped portion; an organic polymer interposed between the p-type doped portion or the n-type doped portion of adjacent nanowires and doping the corresponding surface of the nanowires by receiving electrons from the surface of the corresponding doped portion of the nanowires or by providing electrons to the surface of the nanowires; an insulating non-doping polymer interposed between undoped intrinsic portions of the adjacent nanowires; and a second conductive layer formed on the nanowires and the organic polymer, wherein the light emitting layer comprises an undoped intrinsic portion interposed between the p-type doped portion and the n-type doped portion.
