NOVELTY - The system has a material body i.e. LED, designed for use in an electronic device, and comprising a surface. A contact structure is supported by the surface of the material body. The contact structure comprises a patterned conductive layer with an interior portion. A patterned insulating layer (1834) has edges and is arranged between the interior portion of the patterned conductive layer and the surface of the material body. The insulating layer is patterned such that the conductive layer extends past all edges of the insulating layer to form an electrical contact to the material body.    USE - Light emitting system for use in an optical display system. Uses include but are not limited to a projector e.g. rear projection projector i.e. rear projector television, and front projection projector, portable electronic device e.g. cell phone, personal digital assistant and laptop computer, computer monitor, large area signage e.g. highway signage, vehicle interior lighting e.g. dashboard lighting, vehicle exterior lighting e.g. vehicle headlight such as color changeable headlight, general lighting e.g. office overhead lighting, high brightness lighting e.g. streetlights, camera flashes, medical devices e.g. endoscope, telecommunication e.g. plastic fibers for short range data transfer, security sensing e.g. biometrics, integrated optoelectronics e.g. intrachip and interchip optical interconnects and optical clocking, military field communications e.g. point to point communications, biosensing e.g. photo-detection of organic or inorganic substances, photodynamic therapy e.g. skin treatment, night-vision goggles, solar powered transit lighting, emergency lighting, airport runway lighting, airline lighting, surgical goggles, wearable light sources e.g. life-vests.    ADVANTAGE - The light emitting system exhibit relatively high surface brightness, relatively high average surface brightness, relatively low need for heat dissipation or relatively high rate of heat dissipation, relatively low etendue and/or relatively high power efficiency.
