1. A display panel redundancy scheme comprising:
a display substrate;
a first micro light emitting diode (LED) and a second micro LED arranged within a subpixel;
wherein the first micro LED and the second micro LED each comprises a p-n diode, a top conductive contact, and a bottom conductive contact that is bonded to the display substrate;
a passivation material over the second micro LED; and
a top electrode layer over the first micro LED and the second micro LED, wherein the top electrode layer is in electrical contact with the first micro LED and the passivation material physically separates the top electrode layer from the top conductive contact of the second micro LED.
