One-layer LED paves way for green lighting revolution

By Tereza Pultarova

An American researcher has developed a new low-cost type of LED light which he claims can lead to more widespread adoption of the technology.

Unlike other types of LED lights, which require engineers to carefully apply four or five layers of material on top of each other in order to achieve the desired performance, this novel new low-cost LED concept only requires one.

“It can potentially revolutionise lighting technology,” said Zhibin Yu, Assistant Professor of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Florida State University. “In general, the cost of LED lighting has been a big concern thus far. Energy savings have not balanced out high costs. This could change that.”
