Abstract :
Nanotechnology for solid-state lighting is being reported. The use of nanostructures for development of high brightness and white light LEDs for illumination application is presented. InGaN is the compound semiconductor used for the fabrication of high brightness LEDs. The zinc oxide nanorods are grown directly onto the LED surface by an inexpensive solution method. As much as 60% more light is extracted from the LED.
