They bring the idea of helping the LEDs increase their brightness

By simulating the light-emitting structure of fireflies, researchers have created LEDs that are 55% brighter.

LED light bulbs are the most energy-efficient working devices compared to incandescent and fluorescent lamps. However, LED lighting is still limited by the internal surface of the diode. From fireflies, it has brought the idea for researchers to create a brighter LED.

A team of researchers from the University of Namur, Belgium, led by Prof. Gs. Annick Bay carried out research on the lighting of fireflies through an electron microscope and identified seven structures that could enhance the brightness of LEDs.

Based on a model simulated on a computer, scientists have found a mismatched aspect that illuminates the LEDs and find a solution, which is to create an image Shingle-like structure . This multi-angle structure produces light scattering that increases the brightness emitted by the LEDs.

In real-world experiments, the team created a shingled structure on the surface of the LED, which resulted in a 55% increase in brightness. The team is now simulating an LED structure that resembles the most luminous lighting agency, optimizing lighting performance.
