New High Efficiency Quantum Dot White LEDs

July 18, 2018 | Leave a Comment

Researchers at Koç University, Turkey, have demonstrated nanomaterial-based white-light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that exhibit a record luminous efficiency of 105 lumens per watt. Luminous efficiency is a measure of how well a light source uses power to generate light. With further development, the new LEDs could reach efficiencies over 200 lumens per watt, making them a […]
