New Ultra-efficient LED will vastly improve LCD screens

ScienceDaily (2008-03-03) — In recent years, light emitting diodes (LEDs) have begun to change the way we see the world. Now, a student has developed a new type of LED that could allow for their widespread use as light sources for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) on everything from televisions and computers to cell phones and cameras. This first polarized LED holds promise to vastly improve LCD screens, conserve energy, and usher in the next generation of ultra-efficient LEDs. Read more
