Channel Rhodopsins01:11

Channel Rhodopsins

Most organisms use photoreceptors to sense and respond to light. Examples of photoreceptors include bacteriorhodopsins and bacteriophytochromes in some bacteria, phytochromes in plants, and rhodopsins in the photoreceptor cells of the vertebral retina. The light-sensitive property of these receptors is because of the bound chromophores, such as bilin in the phytochromes and retinal in the rhodopsins.
Rhodopsins belong to the family of cell surface proteins called G-protein coupled receptors,...
Color Vision01:24

Color Vision

Color perception begins in the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. Two main theories explain how colors are seen: the trichromatic theory and the opponent-process theory. The trichromatic theory, proposed by Thomas Young in 1802 and extended by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1852, suggests that color vision is based on three types of cone receptors in the retina. These cones are sensitive to different but overlapping ranges of wavelengths corresponding to red, blue, and green.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Optoelectronics
  • Semiconductor Physics

Background:

  • III-nitride micro-light-emitting diodes (micro-LEDs) are crucial for next-generation displays and AR/VR.
  • Achieving efficient, stable, and microscale red-emitting III-nitride micro-LEDs remains a significant challenge for full-color applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop pure red-emitting III-nitride micro-LEDs with high efficiency and spectral stability.
  • To overcome limitations in current red micro-LED technology for advanced display applications.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed strain engineering and precise control of charge carrier transport.
  • Utilizing a short-period InGaN/GaN superlattice combined with a thick n-type GaN interlayer.
  • Theoretical and experimental validation of the device design and performance.

Main Results:

  • Achieved pure red emission (≥620 nm) across a wide range of injection currents (over two orders of magnitude).
  • Demonstrated deep red micro-LEDs (∼1 μm lateral dimension) with a peak external quantum efficiency exceeding 3% at ∼660 nm.
  • Successfully relieved the quantum-confined Stark effect and suppressed parasitic superlattice emission.

Conclusions:

  • The developed strain engineering and charge transport control strategies are effective for high-performance red III-nitride micro-LEDs.
  • The optimized device design enables stable and efficient pure red emission, paving the way for full-color micro-LED displays.
  • This work addresses a critical bottleneck in III-nitride micro-LED technology, advancing AR/VR and display capabilities.
