Red Light, Green Light: A 2-Tone LED To Simplify Screens
from the neat dept
The NY Times has a good article about the latest breakthrough in LED technology where some researchers created a two-tone LED that could eventually be used to make low power, foldable computer screens. While some have thought about using closely spaced LEDs of different colors to build a screen, the new discovery suggests that multi-colored LEDs may make the process easier and better. The surprising results even suggest ways that LEDs could be made to be tri-colored, so that a single LED could switch from red to green to blue, displaying all three colors you need.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
