Flexible Uses for Micro-LEDs

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Aug. 21, 2009 – By printing large arrays of ultrathin, ultrasmall inorganic LEDs and interconnecting them using thin-film processing, materials scientists have combined the advantages of both inorganic and organic LEDs for use in lighting and display systems with interesting properties, such as see-through construction and mechanical flexibility. Applications for the arrays, which can be printed onto flat or flexible substrates ranging from glass to plastic and rubber, include general illumination, high-resolution home theater displays, wearable health monitors and biomedical imaging devices.

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
