Can we design efficient red LEDs?

  • Holonyak at GE mixed Ga+As+P – made red LED efficiency 0.1

  • c.f. Edison 2 Modern bulb 17

  • 1970 GaAsP LED efficiency = 0.2

  • 1980 AlGaAs/GaAs LED efficiency = 2

  • 1990 AlInGaP/GaAs LED efficiency = 10

  • 2000 AlInGaP/GaP LED efficiency = 100

  • 10 times increase every 10 years
