In recent years, LED brightness has improved tremendously due to advancement in LED die in terms of luminous efficiency and its ability to be driven under higher powered conditions. Due to these ...

The LED is one of those fundamental building block components in electronics, something that’s been in the parts bin for decades. But while a simple LED costs pennies, that WS2812 or other fancy ...

GENEVA — Technologists have long sought a silicon light-emitting diode that could be integrated into standard CMOS fabrication lines. Now STMicroelectronics claims to have achieved this critical goal ...

SiliconCore Technology, manufacturer of LED displays and laser diode controls, has recently announced its LED In Silicon Array (LISA) platform. The manufacturer’s range of ultra fine pixel pitch LED ...

Dow Corning introduced four optical silicone materials for LED lighting applications this week at the Light+Building show in Frankfurt, Germany. As LEDs continue to replace conventional light sources, ...

Researchers have created the world’s smallest silicon LED and holographic microscope that opens up a wide range of potential applications, including turning your smartphone camera into a portable, ...

A long time ago, in a place not so far away, I used to believe that future lasers and optics would knock electronics into a tin hat. Yet silicon electronics still dominate all forms of computation and ...

The diode, which operates close to room temperature, could greatly boost the performance of silicon-based optoelectronics systems. Martin Green and colleagues at the University of New South Wales in ...

University spin-off exploits dislocation loops to force light out of silicon. Si-Light, a spin-out from the UK's University of Surrey, has received equity seed funding worth £150,000 ($284,000) to ...

Free-flying electrons generate light in silicon, CMOS lasers long way off. Imagine a middle-aged electron, comfortably residing in a middle class bit of silicon. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a boy-racer ...
