'Bendy' LEDs: Displays and solar cells with inorganic compound semiconductor micro-rods one step closer

Wednesday, September 24, 2014 - 05:32 in Physics & Chemistry

"Bendy" light-emitting diode (LED) displays and solar cells crafted with inorganic compound semiconductor micro-rods are moving one step closer to reality, thanks to graphene. Currently, most flexible electronics and optoelectronics devices are fabricated using organic materials. But inorganic compound semiconductors such as gallium nitride (GaN) can provide plenty of advantages over organic materials for use in these devices -- including superior optical, electrical and mechanical properties.
