Open questions:
- Why do red LEDs look so different than green / blue?
- DONE, see below
- Size comparison in various modules?
- WIP below
- Wire bonding unusual? Doesn't look like ball or bond
- Its standard ball bonding, except the ball is on the controller. Wedge was terminated on the LED instead of the package
- What is the hexfet like pattern?

“Red is usually some kind of GaAs and so a vertical structure. Green and blue are GaN and so more lateral. Ok, not really lateral but the substrate is not conducting…”

Red LED
Imaging
Notes:
- Coverslip (with oil, not water) made images much better for packaged LEDs with rough surface (see apa102-2020)
- Infrared produced better images than optical for milky fill (see apa102c)
