For high-brightness LEDs it is necessary to concentrate the recombination into a small volume.
The example shown has an active layer of low bandgap, and confinement layers of higher bandgap.

Steps in the design of Steps in the design of LEDsLEDs
1. We have chosen the bandgap (to get the desired colour),
2. and we have chosen the structure (heterojunction diode) to get the confinement of the recombination.
3. Now we have to make sure that the recombination is radiative, and not non-radiative.
4. Then we have to get the light out of the diode.
