Researchers using nano-imprint lithography to make LEDs brighter

Filed under: HouseholdConsidering that there are quite a few nations out there aiming to ditch incandescent bulbs in the not-too-distant future, it follows logic that we should start making LEDs more suitable for in-home use. Of course, we’ve already seen a couple of advancements in the area, but scientists at Glasgow University — along with the Institute of Photonics at the University of Strathclyde — have reportedly found a way to make traditional LEDs a fair bit brighter. The process, dubbed nano-imprint lithography, involves “making microscopic holes in the surface of LEDs to increase the level of light they give off.” Unfortunately, said process is still quite time consuming and expensive, but you can rest assured they’re working to make the process quicker, simpler and cheaper for the good of mankind.[Via FarEastGizmos] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
