Using mechanically flexible substrates for complex (opto-)electronic device architectures is of growing interest in the area of consumer electronics, [1] for wearables [2] or for applications in biology and life science. [3] Potential candidates for light-emitting devices (LEDs) on curved or flexible surfaces are organic LEDs (OLEDs) [4] or quantum dot LEDs [5,6] (QD-LEDs). Higher durability is achieved by bottom-up approaches, which combine individual inorganic micro-LEDs to flexible arrays. [1,3] Although two-dimensional (2D) materials are ideally suited for flexible device applications, [7-9] only a few flexible prototype devices such as transistors [10-12] or photodetectors [13-15] have
Red-, orange-, and green-emitting integrated optoelectronic sources are demonstrated by transfer printing blue InGaN µLEDs onto ultra-thin glass platforms functionally enhanced with II-VI colloidal quantum dots (CQDs). The forward optical power conversion efficiency of these heterogeneously integrated devices is, respectively, 9%, 15%, and 14% for a blue light absorption over 95%. The sources are demonstrated in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) visible light communication link reaching respective data transmission rates of 46 Mbps, 44 Mbps and 61 Mbps.
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.
