GaN-based micro-size light-emitting diode (μLED) have emerged as a promising light sources for a wide range of applications in displays, visible light communication etc. In parallel with the two key technological bottlenecks: full-color scheme and mass transfer technique that need overcoming, it is known that the low external quantum efficiency (EQE) is also another challenge for μLEDs from the perspective of manufacturing technology and device physics. The low EQE for GaN based μLEDs is opposite to the common belief for GaN-based LEDs, such that GaN based LEDs are featured with high quantum efficiency, mechanically robust and energy saving. Therefore, in this work, we have reviewed the origin for the low EQE for μLEDs. More importantly, we have also reported the underlying devices physics and proposed optimization strategies to boost the EQE for μLEDs. Our work is targeted to provide a guideline for the community to develop high-performance GaN-based μLEDs.
Luminescent materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property have attracted considerable interests for their promising applications in light-emitting and display devices and fluorescent chemsensors. Coumarin and its derivatives are one of the most attractive chromophores for their excellent properties, such as high fluorescence quantum yield, large Stokes shift, less toxicity, ease of modification and visible wavelength emission. A coumarin-based AIE-active red fluorogen was designed and synthesised. It was found that CDPA exhibit AIE property, red emission, self-assembly and thermally activated delayed florescence (TADF) in solid state.
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.
