Ultra-Thin LED Brings Natural Sunlight Indoors

Ultra-Thin LED Brings Natural Sunlight Indoors

Scientists have created a light as thin as paper that emits a gentle, natural glow similar to sunlight. By using a precise mix of quantum dots, the team reproduced the full color range of daylight. The design could lead to more comfortable, eye-friendly lighting and next-generation display screens. Paper-Thin Breakthrough in LED Technology Light bulbs [...]

Sunlike quantum dot LEDs promise ultra-thin light sources for next-gen displays

Washington DC (SPX) Oct 11, 2025 Researchers have developed a paper-thin quantum dot LED that emits a warm, sunlike glow, potentially revolutionizing the way displays and indoor lighting are made. Reported in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, the new design could lead to next-generation devices that mimic natural light while minimizing sleep disruption. "This work demonstrates the feasibility of ultra-thin, large-area

A prototype LED as thin as wallpaper — that glows like the sun - Scientific Inquirer

Light bulbs come in many shapes and styles: globes, twists, flame-like candle tips and long tubes. But there aren’t many thin options. Now, researchers report in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces that they have created a paper-thin LED that gives off a warm, sun-like glow. The LEDs could light up the next generation of phone and computer screens and other light sources while helping users avoid disruptions to their sleep patterns. “This work de…

Paper-thin LED shines like the sun and could transform future screens

Imagine wallpaper that glows like natural sunlight or a phone screen that’s easy on your eyes even at night. Scientists have now developed a paper-thin LED that does just that—emitting a warm, sun-like glow that could revolutionize lighting and display technology. The new device, created by researchers in China and described in the journal ACS […] The post Paper-thin LED shines like the sun and could transform future screens appeared first on Kn…
