Some progress in the research of GaN based LED with photonic crystal structure has been made recently. Based on the photonic crystals photonic band gap effect and photon grating diffraction principle,the extraction efficiency of LED with photonic crystal can be improved. In this paper,the restriction on AlGaInP LEDs extraction efficiency is analyzed,and the photonic crystal is introduced in to the AlGaInP LED to improve the extraction efficiency. The theoretical analyses and the experiment results show that the output luminous intensity of LED with photonic crystal is improved by 16%,which results from some effect of the GaN based LED with photonic crystal.
