EU GECCO Project Eyes to 3D LED Assembly for Higher Light Output

The EU research project GECCO with their partners from Madrid, Bristol, Lodz, as well as Osram aim at vertically oriented LEDs that can boost the light output by a factor of 10. The European scientists expect that new three-dimensional assembly of LEDs could dramatically multiply the light output compared to today's planar devices. Currently, LEDs are being constructed in a planar way, meaning in layers and completely flat. The more light is being required, the more wafer area has to be produced—an expensive and laborious approach. The idea of the...
