Abstract:
LEDs are cheap, efficient, and highly reliable thanks to remarkable work done by the R&D community in the past three decades. But that doesn’t mean all there is left is manufacturing. In this talk, I will discuss a few new research directions of LEDs including future display technology, sensing, spectroscopy, and quantum photonics. These developments require not only continuing advancements in nanofabrication but also new understanding of the physics behind. I hope to show you how a simple device like LED may continue to reshape the world like it has done in the past.
