High-brightness lasing at submicrometer enabled by droop-free fin light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

ABSTRACT: "Efficiency droop," i.e., a decline in brightness of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) at high electrical currents, limits the performance of all commercial LEDs and has limited the output power of submicrometer LEDs and lasers to nanowatts. We present a fin p-n junction LED pixel that eliminates efficiency droop, allowing LED brightness to increase linearly with current. With record current densities of 1000 kA/cm², the LEDs transition to lasing, with brightness over 20 μW. Despite a light extraction efficiency of only 15%, these devices exceed the output power of any previous electrically driven submicrometer LED or laser pixel by 100 to 1000 times while showing comparable external quantum efficiencies. Modeling suggests that spreading of the electron-hole recombination region in fin LEDs at high injection levels suppresses the nonradiative Auger recombination processes. Further refinement of this design is expected to enable a new generation of high-brightness LED and laser pixels for macro- and microscale applications.

Minimising efficiency roll-off in high-brightness perovskite light-emitting diodes.

Project description:Efficiency roll-off is a major issue for most types of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and its origins remain controversial. Here we present investigations of the efficiency roll-off in perovskite LEDs based on two-dimensional layered perovskites. By simultaneously measuring electroluminescence and photoluminescence on a working device, supported by transient photoluminescence decay measurements, we conclude that the efficiency roll-off in perovskite LEDs is mainly due to luminescence quenching which is likely caused by non-radiative Auger recombination. This detrimental effect can be suppressed by increasing the width of quantum wells, which can be easily realized in the layered perovskites by tuning the ratio of large and small organic cations in the precursor solution. This approach leads to the realization of a perovskite LED with a record external quantum efficiency of 12.7%, and the efficiency remains to be high, at approximately 10%, under a high current density of 500?mA?cm-2.

Comparative effectiveness of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and Lasers in near infrared photoimmunotherapy.

Project description:Near infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) is a new cancer treatment that combines the specificity of antibodies for targeting tumors with the toxicity induced by photosensitizers after exposure to near infrared (NIR) light. Herein we compare two NIR-light sources; light emitting diodes (LEDs) and Lasers, for their effectiveness in NIR-PIT. A photosensitizer, IRDye-700DX, conjugated to panitumumab (pan-IR700), was incubated with EGFR-expressing A431 and MDA-MB-468-luc cells. NIR-light was provided by LEDs or Lasers at the same light dose. Laser-light produced more cytotoxicity and greater reductions in IR700-fluorescence intensity than LED-light. Laser-light also produced more cytotoxicity in vivo in both cell lines. Assessment of super-enhanced permeability and retention (SUPR) effects were stronger with Laser than LED. These results suggest that Laser-light produced significantly more cytotoxic effects compared to LEDs. Although LED is less expensive, Laser-light produces superior results in NIR-PIT.

High-brightness organic light-emitting diodes for optogenetic control of Drosophila locomotor behaviour.

Project description:Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are in widespread use in today's mobile phones and are likely to drive the next generation of large area displays and solid-state lighting. Here we show steps towards their utility as a platform technology for biophotonics, by demonstrating devices capable of optically controlling behaviour in live animals. Using devices with a pin OLED architecture, sufficient illumination intensity (0.3?mW.mm(-2)) to activate channelrhodopsins (ChRs) in vivo was reliably achieved at low operating voltages (5?V). In Drosophila melanogaster third instar larvae expressing ChR2(H134R) in motor neurons, we found that pulsed illumination from blue and green OLEDs triggered robust and reversible contractions in animals. This response was temporally coupled to the timing of OLED illumination. With blue OLED illumination, the initial rate and overall size of the behavioural response was strongest. Green OLEDs achieved roughly 70% of the response observed with blue OLEDs. Orange OLEDs did not produce contractions in larvae, in agreement with the spectral response of ChR2(H134R). The device configuration presented here could be modified to accommodate other small model organisms, cell cultures or tissue slices and the ability of OLEDs to provide patterned illumination and spectral tuning can further broaden their utility in optogenetics experiments.

Metagenomic, Metabolomic, and Functional Evaluation of Kimchi Broth Treated with Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs).

Project description:The light-emitting diode (LED) has been widely used in the food industry, and its application has been focused on microbial sterilization, specifically using blue-LED. The investigation has been recently extended to characterize the biotic and abiotic (photodynamic) effects of different wavelengths. Here, we investigated LED effects on kimchi fermentation. Kimchi broths were treated with three different colored-LEDs (red, green, and blue) or kept in the dark as a control. Multiomics was applied to evaluate the microbial taxonomic composition using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, and the metabolomic profiles were determined using liquid chromatography-Orbitrap mass spectrometry. Cell viability was tested to determine the potential cytotoxicity of the LED-treated kimchi broths. First, the amplicon sequencing data showed substantial changes in taxonomic composition at the family and genus levels according to incubation (initial condition vs. all other groups). The differences among the treated groups (red-LED (RLED), green-LED (GLED), blue-LED (BLED), and dark condition) were marginal. The relative abundance of Weissella was decreased in all treated groups compared to that of the initial condition, which coincided with the decreased composition of Lactobacillus. Compositional changes were relatively high in the GLED group. Subsequent metabolomic analysis indicated a unique metabolic phenotype instigated by different LED treatments, which led to the identification of the LED treatment-specific and common compounds (e.g., luteolin, 6-methylquinoline, 2-hydroxycinnamic acid, and 9-HODE). These results indicate that different LED wavelengths induce characteristic alterations in the microbial composition and metabolomic content, which may have applications in food processing and storage with the aim of improving nutritional quality and the safety of food.

Thermal and efficiency droop in InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes: decoupling multiphysics effects using temperature-dependent RF measurements.

Project description:Multiphysics processes such as recombination dynamics in the active region, carrier injection and transport, and internal heating may contribute to thermal and efficiency droop in InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, an unambiguous methodology and characterization technique to decouple these processes under electrical injection and determine their individual roles in droop phenomena is lacking. In this work, we investigate thermal and efficiency droop in electrically injected single-quantum-well InGaN/GaN LEDs by decoupling the inherent radiative efficiency, injection efficiency, carrier transport, and thermal effects using a comprehensive rate equation approach and a temperature-dependent pulsed-RF measurement technique. Determination of the inherent recombination rates in the quantum well confirms efficiency droop at high current densities is caused by a combination of strong non-radiative recombination (with temperature dependence consistent with indirect Auger) and saturation of the radiative rate. The overall reduction of efficiency at elevated temperatures (thermal droop) results from carriers shifting from the radiative process to the non-radiative processes. The rate equation approach and temperature-dependent pulsed-RF measurement technique unambiguously gives access to the true recombination dynamics in the QW and is a useful methodology to study efficiency issues in III-nitride LEDs.

A Direct Epitaxial Approach To Achieving Ultrasmall and Ultrabright InGaN Micro Light-Emitting Diodes (?LEDs).

Project description:A direct epitaxial approach to achieving ultrasmall and ultrabright InGaN micro light-emitting diodes (?LEDs) has been developed, leading to the demonstration of ultrasmall, ultraefficient, and ultracompact green ?LEDs with a dimension of 3.6 ?m and an interpitch of 2 ?m. The approach does not involve any dry-etching processes which are exclusively used by any current ?LED fabrication approaches. As a result, our approach has entirely eliminated any damage induced during the dry-etching processes. Our green ?LED array chips exhibit a record external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 6% at ?515 nm in the green spectral region, although our measurements have been performed on bare chips which do not have any coating, passivation, epoxy, or reflector, which are generally used for standard LED packaging in order to enhance extraction efficiency. A high luminance of >107 cd/m2 has been obtained on the ?LED array bare chips. Temperature-dependent measurements show that our ?LED array structure exhibits an internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 28%. It is worth highlighting that our epitaxial approach is fully compatible with any existing microdisplay fabrication techniques.

Fiber-coupled light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as safe and convenient light sources for the characterization of optoelectronic devices.

Project description:Optoelectronic device characterization requires to probe the electrical transport changes upon illumination with light of different incident powers, wavelengths, and modulation frequencies. This task is typically performed using laser-based or lamp + monochromator-based light sources, that result complex to use and costly to implement. Here, we describe the use of multimode fiber-coupled light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as a simple, low-cost alternative to more conventional light sources, and demonstrate their capabilities by extracting the main figures of merit of optoelectronic devices based on monolayer MoS 2, i.e. optical absorption edge, photoresponsivity, response time and detectivity. The described light sources represent an excellent alternative for performing optoelectronic characterization experiments on a limited budget.

Ultrasmall, Ultracompact and Ultrahigh Efficient InGaN Micro Light Emitting Diodes (?LEDs) with Narrow Spectral Line Width.

Project description:Augmented reality and visual reality (AR and VR) microdisplays require micro light emitting diodes (?LEDs) with an ultrasmall dimension (?5 ?m), high external quantum efficiency (EQE), and narrow spectral line width. Unfortunately, dry etching which is the most crucial step for the fabrication of ?LEDs in current approaches introduces severe damages, which seem to become an insurmountable challenge for achieving ultrasmall ?LEDs with high EQE. Furthermore, it is well-known that ?LEDs which require InGaN layers as an emitting region naturally exhibit significantly broad spectral line width, which becomes increasingly severe toward long wavelengths such as green. In this paper, we have reported a combination of our selective overgrowth approach developed very recently and epitaxial lattice-matched distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) embedded in order to address all these fundamental issues. As a result, our ?LEDs with a diameter of 3.6 ?m and an interpitch of 2 ?m exhibit an ultrahigh EQE of 9% at ?500 nm. More importantly, the spectral line width of our ?LEDs has been significantly reduced down to 25 nm, the narrowest value reported so far for III-nitride green ?LEDs.

White light-emitting diodes (LEDs) at domestic lighting levels and retinal injury in a rat model.

Project description:BackgroundLight-emitting diodes (LEDs) deliver higher levels of blue light to the retina than do conventional domestic light sources. Chronic exposure to high-intensity light (2,000-10,000 lux) has previously been found to result in light-induced retinal injury, but chronic exposure to relatively low-intensity (750 lux) light has not been previously assessed with LEDs in a rodent model.ObjectiveWe examined LED-induced retinal neuronal cell damage in the Sprague-Dawley rat using functional, histological, and biochemical measurements.MethodsWe used blue LEDs (460 nm) and full-spectrum white LEDs, coupled with matching compact fluorescent lights, for exposures. Pathological examinations included electroretinogram, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We also measured free radical production in the retina to determine the oxidative stress level.ResultsH&E staining and TEM revealed apoptosis and necrosis of photoreceptors, which indicated blue-light induced photochemical injury of the retina. Free radical production in the retina was increased in LED-exposed groups. IHC staining demonstrated that oxidative stress was associated with retinal injury. Although we found serious retinal light injury in LED groups, the compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) groups showed moderate to mild injury.ConclusionOur results raise questions about adverse effects on the retina from chronic exposure to LED light compared with other light sources that have less blue light. Thus, we suggest a precautionary approach with regard to the use of blue-rich "white" LEDs for general lighting.CitationShang YM, Wang GS, Sliney D, Yang CH, Lee LL. 2014.

Rapid Crystallization of All-Inorganic CsPbBr<sub>3</sub> Perovskite for High-Brightness Light-Emitting Diodes.

Project description:Research into perovskite-based light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) has been rapidly gaining momentum since the initial reports of green-emitting methylammonium lead bromide (CH3NH3PbBr3)-based devices were published. However, issues pertaining to its stability and morphological control still hamper progress toward high performing devices. Solvent engineering, a technique typically employed to modulate film crystallization, offers little opportunity for scale-up due to the tendency for inhomogeneous film growth and low degree of reproducibility. Here, we propose and show a simple gas-facilitated process to deposit a stable, all-inorganic perovskite CsPbBr3 film. The formation of smaller and less percolated grains, which gives rise to enhanced optical properties, highlights the importance of spatial charge confinement in the film. Consequently, the performance of our PeLEDs shows great improvement, with luminance as high as 8218 cd m-2 and turn-on voltage as low as 2.4 V. Concomitantly, the current efficiency and EQE of our device were increased to 0.72 cd A-1 and 0.088%, respectively. High reproducibility in the performance of PeLEDs fabricated using this process opens the path for large-area devices.
