KIST announces new blue light semiconductor technology Possibility of replacing 'GaN' possessed by Japanese original technology ↑
• Domestic researchers have developed a new compound semiconductor technology to replace gallium nitride (GaN) used in existing blue light LED semiconductors.
• Among them, blue light LED was first commercialized by Japanese scientists in the 1990s by developing a technique to make gallium nitride with high quality.
• KIST collaborators first developed a device technology that emits blue light with high efficiency using copper Iodide (CuI) Group 1-7 compound semiconductors synthesized from copper (Cu) and iodine (I).
• The team found that copper iodide semiconductors have blue light brightness and improved photoelectric efficiency, which are more than 10 times stronger than gallium nitride-based devices.
• In particular, gallium nitride is widely used in real life as a core material of smart phones, displays, electronics and high frequency devices as well as electric lamps.
• It has developed a material that can replace gallium nitride, a key material for the display and mining industries.

Important Notice: Discontinuation of Our Wiki Service

Dear Valued Users,

We hope this message finds you well. We are writing to inform you of an important upcoming change to our services. After careful consideration and analysis, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue our wiki site, effective one month from 2024/04/30.

This was not an easy decision to make, as we understand the importance of the resources and community that have been built around our wiki. However, due to evolving market conditions and strategic realignments, we must redirect our resources and efforts towards other ventures that will allow us to serve you better in the future.

What This Means for You:

  • Access to Content: You will continue to have full access to all content on the wiki until the discontinuation date. We encourage you to save or migrate any content you wish to retain.
  • Final Date of Service: The wiki will become inaccessible starting 1st June 2024, after which all content will be permanently removed.

We are immensely grateful for the support and contributions of our user community throughout the years. The wiki is being retired, but our team will be back soon with new services and apps.

Thank you for being a part of our journey.

Warm regards,
