The application of blue light (400-480 nm) in photobiotherapy remains controversial. This systematic review aimed to collect and analyze the biological effects of blue light-emitting diode (LED) on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Inclusion and exclusion criteria were formulated, and relevant English articles from January 1982 to September 2022 were searched in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Nine articles with a medium (n = 4) to low (n = 5) risk of bias were included. Most of the MSCs reported were derived from human tissue; only one article used MSCs derived from mouse. The wavelength of the LED used was in the 400-480 nm range, and the irradiation modes were continuous (n = 8) and pulse waves (n = 1). A chiral polarizer was used in one such study in which the irradiance was 14 mW/cm and the irradiation time was 24 h. The energy densities used in other studies were between 0.378 and 72 J/cm, and the irradiation times were between 10 and 3600 s. Blue LED light can inhibit proliferation and promote differentiation of MSCs in an appropriate energy density range, which may be related to the activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). Additionally, polarized light may reduce the toxic effects of blue light on MSCs. However, the heterogeneity of the design schemes and LED parameters, as well as the small number of studies, limited the conclusiveness of the review. Therefore, further studies are needed to determine the optimal irradiation strategy for promoting MSC function.

Quantum dot (QD)-converted micrometer-scale light-emitting diodes (micro-LEDs) are regarded as an effective solution for achieving high-performance full-color micro-LED displays because of their narrow-band emission, simplified mass transfer, facile drive circuits, and low cost. However, these micro-LEDs suffer from significant blue light leakage and unsatisfactory electroluminescence properties due to the poor light conversion efficiency and stability of the QDs. Herein, the construction of green and red QD luminescence microspheres with the simultaneously high conversion efficiency of blue light and strong photoluminescence stability are proposed.

Color-tunable white organic light-emitting diodes (CT-WOLEDs) have attracted widespread attention given their large color variation to meet the different daily scenarios from the perspective of circadian rhythm. However, most reported CT-WOLEDs, especially the tri-color devices, exhibit poor performances and sophisticated structures. Here, a simple structure tri-color CT-WOLED is demonstrated that simultaneously exhibits high efficiency, ultralong operation lifetime, and wide color-tunable range for dynamic sunlight emulation.

Metal halides are widely applied in solid-state lighting (SSL), optoelectronic devices, information encryption, and near-infrared (NIR) detection due to their superior photoelectric properties and tunable emission. However, single-component phosphors that can be efficiently excited by light-emitting diode (LED) chips and cover both the visible (VIS) and NIR emission regions are still very rare. To address this issue, (TPA)ZnBr:Sn/Mn (TPA = [(CHCHCH)N]) phosphors were synthesized by using the solvent evaporation method.

Ir(III) complexes are particularly noted for their excellent photophysical properties in giving blue OLED phosphors. In this study, two distinctive carbene pro-chelates LAH2+ and LBH2+ (or LCH2+) were employed in preparation of heteroleptic Ir(III) complexes, to which LAH2+ bears a cyano substituted benzoimidazolium along with N-mesityl appendage, while LBH2+ (or LCH2+) carries the symmetrical benzoimidazolium entity. Notably, the reversible equilibration at high temperature was observed for m, f-ct14 and m, f-ct15 with a single LA chelate.

Implanting heteroatoms into organic π-conjugated molecules (OCMS) offered a great opportunity to fine-tune the chemical structures and optoelectronic properties. This work describes a new family of 1,4-azaphosphinines with extended σ-π hyperconjugations. The photophysical studies revealed that azaphosphinines exhibited narrow-band thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) ( full width at half-maximum: 26-40 nm).
