Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have cracked a major challenge in display technology by inventing the world's brightest and most energy ...

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 ...

LEDs work by converting electrical energy into photons in a layer made of a semiconductor. Research into new semiconductor materials is key not only to further improving the energy efficiency of these ...

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are so ubiquitous that it's easy to forget just how much society relies on these underappreciated technological wonders. Yet, the history of the LED goes back further than ...

LEDs provide excellent color rendering and uniformity of light, and thereby achieve a high light quality for most lighting applications. LEDs also give designers a whole new palette of color, and, by ...

LEDs offer a new palette of colors to the world of lighting. First, learn these two basic types: soft white and daylight. Soft white refers to warm golden light at 2700 Kelvin, close to the look of ...
