Project description
Transforming LED brightness and efficiency
Current LED technology struggles with high costs, limited performance, and environmental impact. Traditional LEDs often lack the advanced optical properties needed for next-generation applications, such as high brightness and efficient circular polarisation. Additionally, the production processes are resource-intensive and rely heavily on critical raw materials. In this context, the EIC-funded RADIANT project is designed to address these challenges. Specifically, it aims to revolutionise LED technology by developing chiral LEDs that use scalable chiral metasurfaces. These LEDs promise enhanced performance, including superior brightness and circular polarisation, while also being cost-effective and environmentally sustainable. By integrating advanced nanophotonic architectures and a novel soft nanoimprinting process, RADIANT is set to transform various industries from display technology to sensing.
Objective
RADIANT (Chiral Light Emitting Diodes based in Photonic Architectures) is an innovative research endeavor with a transformative mission: the production of high-performing and cost-efficient chiral LEDs (light-emitting diodes) that harness the optical properties of scalable chiral metasurfaces, operating seamlessly across the visible to near-infrared spectrum. With a multifaceted approach, the project seeks to endow with chirality three distinct technologies: Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs), Perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs), and Quantum Dot LEDs (QdotLEDs), promising exceptionally bright output and remarkable degrees of circular polarization. These chiral LEDs find diverse applications in fields such as display technology, communications, sensing, and advanced lighting systems, promising to revolutionize various industries with their enhanced optical properties and broad spectral range. Leveraging the unique chiroptical response of chiral metasurfaces, RADIANT precisely modulates high Photoluminescence Quantum Yield (PLQY) emitters, including perovskite nanocrystals, quantum dots, and organic semiconductors, using advanced nanophotonic architectures that interact with light through optical resonances, thereby enhancing and modulating the light emission. At the core of the project lies a novel, scalable, and low carbon footprint soft nanoimprinting imprinting process that enables seamless integration of photonic nanostructures across different LED technologies in a broad spectral range. RADIANT unlocks the potential of nanophotonics for optoelectronic technologies through cost-effective and scalable chiral metasurfaces produced via soft nanoimprinting lithography while reducing the dependency on critical raw materials currently used in advanced LEDs. RADIANT promises to revolutionize the billionaire LED landscape market, combining technological innovation, economic viability, and environmental sustainability.
