Problem: Bio-friendly, energy efficient and high-color quality solid-state lighting is required due to the current limitations of phosphor-based LED technology
Patent Status TR2013/15075 Inventor(s) Asst. Prof. Sedat Nizamoğlu Technology Readiness Level TRL 6
and the currently investigated nanocrystal-integrated LED technology. Technology: We propose a new class of color-conversion LEDs integrated with fluorescent proteins to overcome the disadvantages of currently used and investigated color conversion materials. Advantages: •Efficient and stable white light generation by strong absorption, high fluorescence quantum yields and high photostability •The custom-designed emission spectrum by the narrow-emission linewidth of florescent proteins •Biocompatible characteristics (green lighting) Related Publications: •S.
