ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a multicolor monolithic light display utilizing the etching of multiple channels in a substrate and selectively refilling said channels with single crystal material, each channel being filled with material capable of emitting light of a given wavelength, depending on the dopant or the type of material deposited. There is also disclosed a multicolor or monolithic light display comprising at least a pair of matrices of light emitting diodes in an integral structure which pair of matrices are alternatively or simultaneously, scannable to produce a display in a first and a second color. Each matrix includes a plurality of light emitting diodes, preferably gallium phosphide, which, by proper doping, can be made to emit either a red or a green wavelength of light. The light emitting diodes are arranged in the geometric pattern of columns and rows with the first matrix interspersed with the second matrix so that an alpha numeric character produced by one matrix will appear at almost the same physical location as a character of the alternate color. Row and column address lines are provided for each matrix so that a strobing format logic address system can effect lighting of the individual diodes for producing an alpha numeric character or graphic display in either one color or the other, or both.
