American scientists develop new LED technology with simplified process and lower cost

According to the NDTV website, scientists have newly developed a high-efficiency, low-cost LED, which will help promote the further popularization of LED technology.

Yu Zhibing (transliteration), assistant professor of industrial and manufacturing engineering at Florida State University, explained, "The newly developed LED technology may completely change lighting technology. Generally speaking, the cost of LED lighting fixtures is a big problem, and the energy saved is not enough to offset the high cost of LEDs." Cost. New technology may change this situation."

Yu Zhibing developed this technology together with a team including postdoctoral researcher Li Junqiang and doctoral students Sri Ganesh Bade and Shan Xin.

NDTV stated that Yu Zhibing used a combination of organic and inorganic materials when developing new LED technology. This material can emit blue, green or red light and can be used to produce LED light bulbs.

But what’s really special about it is that it’s far simpler to make than existing products on the market. In order to produce the desired product or achieve the desired effect, most LED materials require engineers to "stack together" 4 or 5 layers of materials. The material Yu Zhiyuan invented only requires one layer. He said, "Handling multiple layers of materials will be a big challenge in future manufacturing processes."

NDTV pointed out that this research is crucial to the development of LED technology. LED technology is quickly becoming a way to reduce electricity consumption. LED lighting fixtures are already on the market, but adoption has been slow due to cost and quality issues related to materials.
