A semiconductor display may include a multiplicity of semiconductor pillars as well as first contact strips and second electrical contact strips. The semiconductor pillars each comprise a semiconductor core of a first conductivity type and a semiconductor shell of a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type, as well as an active layer between them for radiation generation. The semiconductor pillars each comprise an energization shell which is applied onto the respective semiconductor shell for energization. The semiconductor pillars can be electrically driven independently of one another individually or in small groups by means of the first and second electrical contact strips.
