Electrically Injected Hybrid Organic/Inorganic III-Nitride White Light-Emitting Diodes Based on Rubrene/(InGaN/GaN) Multiple-Quantum-Wells P-N Junction

It is known that the commercialized white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) depend on phosphor conversion, which is limited by the unbalanced carrier injection in multiple quantum wells (MQWs) and low down-conversion efficiency. To solve these problems, hybrid organic/inorganic III-nitride WLEDs were de...
