The world's thinnest LED: only three atoms thick

San San - March 12th, according to foreign media reports, the University of Washington has developed only 3 atomic thickness of the world's thinnest LED.

The company is trying to slim down the backlight LED to make the device thinner and harder, the University of Washington seems to have gone beyond all. Scientists have developed only three atoms thick, so far the thinnest LED - the current level of knowledge can not be thinner. The key ingredient of this LED is known as the thinnest semiconductor tungsten selenide, monolithic material less than 1/10 of conventional LED thickness. But can still be measured light, and material plasticity, toughness. At the basic level, the technology can be used in the fields of optical circuits, nano lasers and other fields that require micro illumination. The researchers also hope that this LED can be used for mobile devices - can solve the problem of wearable and other equipment thickness due to the thickness.
