Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue on "Research and Applications of Light-Emitting Diodes" for the journal Crystals. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) play a crucial role in both scientific research and industry. This Special Issue aims to present the latest research findings and technological advancements in the field of LEDs, encompassing a wide range of topics from fundamental materials science to innovative applications. As LEDs continue to revolutionize lighting, sensing, and display technologies, it is essential to gather and disseminate the most recent breakthroughs and insights that drive this dynamic field forward.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions that explore the synthesis and characterization of novel materials for LED devices, the structural optimization and performance improvement of devices and packages, and advancements in the fabrication of LEDs and their integration into various applications such as solid-state lighting, displays, and sensing. The discussion on the above aspects has been very enthusiastic in recent years, and it is still necessary to continue exploring the intrinsic physical mechanisms and process improvements of LED devices. Continuous research in the above-mentioned fields is expected to promote the theoretical development and practical applications of optoelectronic devices. Additionally, papers addressing AR/VR headsets, AR HUDs, eye-tracking, and SSVEP brain–computer interface (BCI) applications of LEDs are highly encouraged.
We invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue on wide-bandgap light-emitting materials and devices. This Special Issue will provide reviews while presenting new research updates on some key aspects of wide-bandgap material growth and device design. Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- LEDs based on III-V, II-VI, QDs, perovskite, etc.;
- OLEDs;
- Color conversion materials for LEDs (phosphor, QDs);
- Mini-LEDs and micro-LEDs;
- IR LEDs and sensing;
- UV LEDs;
- Device physics of LEDs;
- Device fabrication techniques;
- LED package;
- LED displays, mini-LED displays, micro-LED displays;
- Mini-LED backlight for LCDs;
- AR/VR headsets;
- AR HUDs;
- Transparent displays;
- Eye-tracking;
- SSVEP brain–computer interfaces (BCIs);
- LED lighting;
- VLC;
- AI-driven synthesis and discovery of LED materials;
- AI-assisted inspection for LEDs;
- Instrumentation for LED characterization.
