The advent of mini-light-emitting diodes (mini-LEDs) represents a recent advancement in display technology. The biggest advantage of mini-LEDs over traditional backlight LED panels is that the LED array facilitates the local dimming of light intensity. This paper presents a large-view-angle (LVA) GaN-based mini-LED chip with batwing angular light distribution. By placing a translucent layer on the mini-LED, the angular light-intensity distribution can be modified from the Lambertian type to that resembling a batwing using translucent sublayer pairs. Compared to conventional mini-LEDs, the proposed mini-LED chip requires fewer LEDs and a shorter light-diffusing distance to maintain good uniformity without additional lens packaging. Further, the increased sublayer pair count in the translucent layer affords an increase in the radiation half-power angle from 137.5° to 173.2°. This increases the half-power angle of the mini-LED array from 47.4% to 89.1%. The findings of this study demonstrate significant potential for use in the development of ultrathin backlight panels, which are finding commercial utility in modern television designs. This work should provide the applications solution in mini-LED backlit and wide color gamut RGB backlight display.
