ABSTRACT:
An electroluminescent diode with photon recycling having an active electroluminescent second semiconductor layer present between a first and a third semiconductor layer with larger bandwidth and of opposite conductivity type. According to the invention, the active layer has a compensation factor of less than 1/3 and a thickness between 0.1 and 3 absorption lengths of the emitted radiation, the first semiconductor layer has a partially reflecting surface, and the third semiconductor layer has a reflecting surface with two preferably co-planar electrodes one of which is connected to the first semiconductor layer through a highly doped contact zone.
