GENEVA — Technologists have long sought a silicon light-emitting diode that could be integrated into standard CMOS fabrication lines. Now STMicroelectronics claims to have achieved this critical goal ...

SiliconCore Technology, manufacturer of LED displays and laser diode controls, has recently announced its LED In Silicon Array (LISA) platform. The manufacturer’s range of ultra fine pixel pitch LED ...

In recent years, LED brightness has improved tremendously due to advancement in LED die in terms of luminous efficiency and its ability to be driven under higher powered conditions. Due to these ...

The LED is one of those fundamental building block components in electronics, something that’s been in the parts bin for decades. But while a simple LED costs pennies, that WS2812 or other fancy ...

Researchers have created the world’s smallest silicon LED and holographic microscope that opens up a wide range of potential applications, including turning your smartphone camera into a portable, ...

Light-emitting diodes -- LEDs -- can do way more than illuminate your living room. These light sources are useful microelectronics too. Smartphones, for example, can use an LED proximity sensor to ...

Giant Taiwanese LED maker works with GaN-on-silicon specialist Azzurro on technology with potential to cut cost of solid-state lighting. Epistar, the Taiwan-based company that is ranked as one of the ...

Dow Corning introduced four optical silicone materials for LED lighting applications this week at the Light+Building show in Frankfurt, Germany. As LEDs continue to replace conventional light sources, ...

Free-flying electrons generate light in silicon, CMOS lasers long way off. Imagine a middle-aged electron, comfortably residing in a middle class bit of silicon. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a boy-racer ...

University spin-off exploits dislocation loops to force light out of silicon. Si-Light, a spin-out from the UK's University of Surrey, has received equity seed funding worth £150,000 ($284,000) to ...

Led by German research institute Fraunhofer ISE, the consortium has built the solar cells with 100% crystalline silicon recycled from end-of-life photovoltaic panels. The silicon is recycled through a ...

A long time ago, in a place not so far away, I used to believe that future lasers and optics would knock electronics into a tin hat. Yet silicon electronics still dominate all forms of computation and ...
