  • A new technique the result of an international collaboration of scientists from Lehigh University, West Chester University, Osaka University and the University of Amsterdam could pave the way for colour tuning of a light bulb.
  • According to Volkmar Dierolf, Distinguished Professor and Chair of Lehigh's Department of Physics, who worked on the project says, "This work could make it possible to tune between bright white and more comfortable warmer colors in commercial LEDs."
  • The team demonstrated the possibility of color tuning Gallium Nitride (GaN)-based GaN LEDs simply by changing the time sequence at which the operation current is provided to the device.
  • Light-emitting diodes or LEDs are semiconductor devices that emit light when an electric current is passed through it.
  • The work is described in an article published online in ACS Photonics called "Color-Tunablility in GaN LEDs Based on Atomic Emission Manipulation under Current Injection.
  • "In today's active LED displays, different colors are produced by three to four individual LEDs that are placed close to each other and create the different fundamental colors needed to produce the full color spectrum.
