"Electron Leakage" is the Culprit of "LED Droop"?

For a long time, researchers and LED manufacturers have been committed to reducing the losses caused by light emitting diodes (LEDs) to be less efficient, but the real reason behind this phenomenon has yet not identified. According to the reports on Phys.org, the latest discovery conducted by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will uncover the real reason behind the "LED droop" phenomenon. The discovery is expected to lead a major breakthrough in LED lighting industry's development bottleneck. A flaw called "efficiency droop" tha...
