Example Sentences

This approach has been successful for decades in many applications, such as transistors, light-emitting diodes, lasers and quantum devices.

The team first experimentally measured the exciton binding energies for 42 organic semiconductors including 32 solar cell materials, seven organic light-emitting diode materials, and three crystalline compounds of pentacene.

These chains, known as acenes, can also be tuned to emit different colors of light, which makes them good candidates for use in organic light-emitting diodes.

Excitons are a key part of many technologies, including solar panels, photodetectors and sensors, as well as light-emitting diodes found in televisions and digital display screens.

Updating streetlights to use light-emitting diodes makes sense.
