InGaN-based red micro-size light-emitting diodes (μLEDs) have become very attractive. Compared to common AlInGaP-based red µLEDs, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of InGaN red µLEDs has less influence from the size effect. Moreover, the InGaN red µLEDs exhibit a much more robust device performance even operating at a high temperature of up to 400 K. We review the progress of InGaN red μLEDs. Novel growth methods to relax the strain and increase the growth temperature of InGaN red quantum wells are discussed.
