Fluorescent Protein Integrated Light Emitting Diodes

Fluorescent Protein Integrated Light Emitting Diodes

Applications: Lighting, LEDs

Problem:

Bio-friendly, energy efficient and high-color quality solid-state lighting is required due to the current limitations of phosphor-based LED technology andthe currently investigated nanocrystal-integrated LED technology.

Technology: We propose a new class of color-conversion LEDs integrated with fluorescent proteins to overcome the disadvantages of currently used and investigated color conversion materials.

 Advantages:

  • Efficient and stable white light generation by strong absorption, high fluorescence quantum yields and high photostability
  • The custom-designed emission spectrum by the narrow-emission linewidth of florescent proteins
  • Biocompatible characteristics (green lighting)
