The field of AlGaInN ultraviolet UV light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is reviewed, with a summary of the state-of-the-art in device performance and enumeration of applications. Performance-limiting factors for high-efficiency UV LEDs are identified and recent advances in the development of deep UV emitters are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
