University of Utah physicists invented a new “spintronic” organic light-emitting diode or OLED that promises to be brighter, cheaper and more environmentally friendly than the kinds of LEDs now used in television and computer displays, lighting, traffic lights and numerous electronic devices.
“It’s a completely different technology,” says Z. Valy Vardeny, University of Utah distinguished professor of physics and senior author of a study of the new OLEDs in the July 13, 2012 issue of the journal Science. “These new organic LEDs can be brighter than regular organic LEDs.”
The Utah physicists made a prototype of the new kind of LED – known technically as a spin-polarized organic LED or spin OLED – that produces an orange color. But Vardeny expects it will be possible within two years to use the new technology to produce red and blue as well, and he eventually expects to make white spin OLEDs.
However, it could be five years before the new LEDs hit the market because right now, they operate at temperatures no warmer than about minus 28 degrees Fahrenheit, and must be improved so they can run at room temperature, Vardeny adds.
Organic spin valves are comprised of three layers: an organic layer that acts as a semiconductor and is sandwiched between two metal electrodes that are ferromagnets. In the new spin OLED, one of the ferromagnet metal electrodes is made of cobalt and the other one is made of a compound called lanthanum strontium manganese oxide. The organic layer in the new OLED is a polymer known as deuterated-DOO-PPV, which is a semiconductor that emits orange-colored light. (Excerpt from University of Utah News)

As the picture shows the principles of the crystal growth:
With raw materials placed in the the iridium crucible,raw materials is heated to melt with radio frequency induction heating coil. Then place an Iridium-mold within the intermediate of the crucible. Let the-Acting Soup stalls sq. within the surface of the the iridium-Built mold then forming a thin film. Put down crystalspecies so to touch the film and the film crystallized into a single crystal from the surface of the seed crystal with the same structure of the seed crystal. The seed crystal then slowly pull up and gradually grow into single crystal.
At the same time, Crucible provids melt soup for film. Since the edge of the film is defined by the iridium mold and continue feeding for the growth of crystal, so it was called Defined Edge-defined Film-fed Growth, short for EFG.

Dow Corning Showcases Benefits of High-Performance Silicones for Next-Generation LED Designs

Pittsfield, MA, May 04, 2013 –(PR.com)– On display at the company’s booth, LED applications and live demonstrations are spotlighting how high-performance silicones contribute to improved efficiencies, greater design freedom and enhanced productivity.
“Advanced LED light sources are fueling rapid global demand for innovative new materials that perform under very harsh conditions, especially high temperatures and power densities,” said Eric Peeters, vice president, Dow Corning Electronic Solutions. “As a dedicated collaboration and innovation partner, Dow Corning is joining with our customers to meet this demand with LED silicone technologies. In this way, we can play an active role in helping them to drive the cost-effective and reliable development of true next-generation LED devices.”
Offering excellent optical-quality and a variety of refractive index values, Dow Corning silicones allow designers to more effectively shape light and improve efficiency. Plus, the outstanding thermal stability intrinsic to these materials enables them to retain their excellent transparency and color quality even after prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding 150ºC. Thus, compared to organic polymers like polycarbonate and acrylic, silicones provide a more effective hedge against heat-induced yellowing of optical elements in high-intensity lamp and luminaire designs.
Greater design flexibility is another major benefit that silicones provide. Today’s LED lamps and luminaires may already incorporate over ten different silicone-based solutions, including adhesives, pottants, encapsulants, thermal management materials and optics. Yet, the high clarity and excellent moldability of Dow Corning’s optical-grade materials enables LED manufacturers to achieve even broader design options, including more complex shapes, micro-scale optical structures and even undercuts that are difficult to achieve with plastics or glass. These qualities also expand design latitude for other optical elements, including secondary lenses, reflectors, light pipes, light guides and other high-performing optical components.
The Dow Corning booth is featuring three demonstration stations that illustrate these critical benefits using the company’s broad portfolio of advanced LED silicones. They include a station highlighting how the materials enhance LED optical efficiency; a second demonstration station showcasing the tremendous design flexibility of silicone products; and a third featuring an injection molding machine producing optical silicone components to underscore the exceptional processability of these materials.
As the market leader in encapsulants for LED packaging, Dow Corning innovates high-performance silicon-based materials for the next generation of lighting designs. Dow Corning Lighting Solutions spans the entire value chain, adding reliability and efficiency for sealing, protecting, adhering, cooling, and shaping light across all lighting applications.

Silicon Labs is offering a CMOS-based drop-in replacement for optocoupler-isolated gate drivers.
Supporting up to 5kV isolation ratings and up to 10kV surge protection, the Si826x isolated gate drivers emulate the behaviour of opto-drivers by modulating a high-frequency carrier instead of light from an LED.
According to the supplier, the simpler digital architecture provides a robust isolated data path that requires no special considerations or initialisation at start-up.

Growing tomatoes exposed to extra light from LED lamps may produce more vitamin C, according to Dutch researchers from Wageningen UR Greenhouse Horticulture.
In collaboration with Philips, the scientists tested various tomato varieties and various levels of light intensity.
The fruit were exposed to extra “sunlight” via hanging lights that lluminated clusters typically hidden in the shade of the plant’s leaves.
The variety with the biggest reaction showed twice as much vitamin C content for fruit exposed to the lights as for those that were not.
The light exposure in this particular case was described as a quarter of the natural light intensity on a sunny day.
The research program will continue on in a new joint facility in Bleiswijk dedicated to investigating LED lamps in horticulture. Research has begun on other fruit and vegetables as well to determine the light’s impact on nutritional value and flavor. (By FreshFruitPortal)
