Red InGaN μLEDs for Displays

University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) in the USA suggests that indium gallium nitride (InGaN) red micro-sized light-emitting diodes (μLEDs) could provide a solution for displays [Panpan Li et al, Appl. Phys. Lett., v119, p081102, 2021].   Although the high indium content leads to relatively low external quantum efficiency (EQE) compared with commercial aluminium indium gallium phosphide (AlInGaP) regular-size LEDs, which can reach 20-30%, the UCSB research shows that the InGaN devices maintain their ~2.5% EQE as the dimensio...

Reducing The Operating Voltage Of Tunnel-junction Deep UV LEDs

Driving down carbon contaminations and cranking up silicon trims the operating voltage of deep-UV LEDs with a tunnel junction A Japanese collaboration is claiming to have broken new ground for reducing the operating voltage of tunnel-junction deep-UV LEDs. Success has come from suppressing the incorporation of carbon contaminants in an n-type AlGaN layer that is then doped with a high concentration of silicon. The lower operating voltage promises to increase the optical efficiency of high-power tunnel-junction LEDs, which will become the dominant form of this devi...
