ZnSe based multilayer pn junctions as efficient light emitting diodes for display applications

Abstract
pn junction characteristics and LED action in ZnSe‐based multilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy is demonstrated. In particular, we show that (Zn,Cd)Se/ZnSe/Zn(S,Se) structures containing (Zn,Cd)Se quantum wells, grown on p‐type GaAs epilayers, and designed with a heavily doped n+‐ZnSe top contact layer may be appropriate for display device applications in the blue‐green portion of the spectrum.
