we report highly efficient InGaN-based red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) grown on conventional c-plane-patterned sapphire substrates. An InGaN single quantum well active layer provides the red spectral emission. The 621-nm-wavelength LEDs exhibited high-purity emission with a narrow full-width at half-maximum of 51 nm. The packaged LED's external quantum efficiency, light-output power, and forward voltage with a 621 nm peak emission wavelength at 20 mA (10.1 A/cm2) injection current were 4.3%, 1.7 mW, and 2.96 V, respectively. This design development represents a valuable contribution to the next generation of micro-LED displays.
