Japan-based material developer Green Science Alliance developed a new composite material made from a combination of graphene quantum dots and silica, which could be useful for creating white LEDs from blue LEDs (440-470 nm).
The company says that this is the first adoption of such a material for LED applications. The company says the adoption of the QD and Silica offers superior performance to the currently-used phosphor as the QDs do not suffer from light scattering, and the white LED is more efficient. The material is also said to be inexpensive.
