Scientists Build Thinnest-Possible LEDs and Find It To Be Stronger, More Energy Efficient

The layers of the novel 2-D LED and how it emits light (Credits: U of Washington) Most modern electronics, from flat-screen TVs and smartphones to wearable technologies and computer monitors, use tiny light-emitting diodes, or LEDs. These LEDs are based off of semiconductors that emit light with the movement of electrons. As devices get smaller and faster, there is more demand for such semiconductors that are tinier, stronger and more energy efficient. Read more »

Two-Dimensional Material Shows Promise for Optoelectronics

In the team's experimental setup, electricity was supplied to a tiny piece of tungsten selenide (small rectangle at center) through two gold wires (from top left and right), causing it to emit light (bright area at center), demonstrating its potential as an LED material. Inset: Microscope image shows the teams experimental setup. (Images courtesy of Britt Baugher and Hugh Churchill) A team of MIT researchers has used a novel material that's just a few atoms thick to create devices that can harness or emit light. This proof-of-concept could lead to ultrathin, lightweight, and flexible photovoltaic cells, light emitting diodes (LEDs), and other optoelectronic devices, they say. Read more »
