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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 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 ...

It’s hard to believe that the first blue LED didn’t arrive until 1993. They look simple, but looks are deceiving (Fig. 1). 1. Image showing a blue InGaN-based LED with gold wire contacts (0.4 × 0.4 mm ...

Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have developed efficient blue light-emitting diodes based on halide perovskites. "We are very excited about this breakthrough", says Feng Gao, professor at ...
