This study developed flexible light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with warm white and neutral white light. A simple ultraviolet flip-chip sticking process was adopted for the pumping source and combined with polymer and quantum dot (QD) films technology to yield white light. The polymer-blended flexible LEDs exhibited higher luminous efficiency than the QD-blended flexible LEDs. Moreover, the polymer-blended LEDs achieved excellent color-rendering index (CRI) values (Ra = 96 and R9 = 96), with high reliability, demonstrating high suitability for special applications like accent, down, or retrofit lights in the future. In places such as a museum, kitchen, or surgery room, its high R9 and high CRI characteristics can provide high-quality services.

Electrically driven light-emitting diodes (ED LEDs) based on 3D metal halide perovskites have seen remarkable advancements during the past decade. However, the highest-performing devices are largely based on lead-containing 3D perovskites, presenting two key challenges-toxicity and stability-that must be addressed for commercialization. Reducing structural dimensionality and incorporating non-lead metals present promising pathways to address these issues.

The exploration of circularly polarized luminescence is important for advancing display and lighting technologies. Herein, by utilizing isomeric molecular engineering, a novel series of chiral molecules are designed to exploit both thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) mechanisms for efficient luminescence. The cooperation of a small singlet-triplet energy gap, moderate spin-orbital coupling (SOC), and large oscillator strength enables efficient TADF emission, with photoluminescence quantum yields exceeding 90%.

Phosphor-converted micro-light emitting diodes (micro-LEDs) are a crucial technology for display applications but face significant challenges in light extraction because of the high refractive index of the blue pump die chip. In this study, we design and experimentally demonstrate a nanophotonic approach that overcomes this issue, achieving up to a 3-fold increase in light extraction efficiency. Our approach involves engineering the local density of optical states (LDOS) to generate quasi-guided modes within the phosphor layer by strategically inserting a thin low-index spacer in combination with a metasurface for mode extraction.

Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are widely used in modern electronics because they have both high transmittance and good conductivity, which is beneficial for many applications such as light-emitting diodes. Tailoring electronic states and hence the conductive types by design is important for developing new materials with optimal properties for TCOs. SnO, with a wide band gap, low cost, no toxins, and high stability, is a promising host material for TCOs.

The oxidative cross-coupling of benzyl alcohol (BA) and benzylamine (BZA) is employed for the production of the corresponding imine, N-benzylidenebenzylamine (BZI), under visible light irradiation (light-emitting diodes (LE with λ = 417 nm) and mild reaction conditions. The cesium bismuth halide perovskites (CsBiBr, CBB) are synthesized by a one-step solution process as a sustainable alternative for the widely used Pb-halide perovskites. The CBB photocatalyst is immobilized on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) structure designed explicitly for three-dimensional (3D) printing to operate in both batch and continuous modes to overcome the need for a final catalyst separation step.
