Three scientists, Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura, have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on blue LEDs. Since the development of the first blue LEDs in the early ...
A Rutgers-led team of scientists has developed an eco-friendly, very stable, ultra-bright material and used it to generate deep-blue light (emission at ~450 nm) in a light-emitting diode (LED), an ...
Perovskites, known for their potential use in solar cells, also hold promise for making low-cost, flexible light-emitting diode panels for lighting and displays. One hurdle that perovskite LEDs face ...
A new method for creating a highly useful chemical subunit eliminates the need for precious metals, potentially leading to the sustainable production of pharmaceuticals and electronics. Light-emitting ...
Researchers have designed and tested ‘human-centric’ LEDs that emit different wavelengths of blue light depending on whether it’s daytime or nighttime, reducing the disruptive effect artificial light ...
A Rutgers-led team of scientists has developed an eco-friendly, very stable, ultra-bright material and used it to generate deep-blue light (emission at ~450 nm) in a light-emitting diode (LED), an ...
With the invention of the first LED featuring a red color, it seemed only a matter of time before LEDs would appear with other colors. Indeed, soon green and other colors joined the LED revolution, ...
Three of the key researchers behind the development of blue LEDs - and therefore the white-light emitters currently revolutionizing the lighting industry - have won the 2014 Nobel prize for physics.
