http://dvice.com/assets_c/2010/01/led_prettified-thumb-550x413-31834.jpgSmart dudes at Nanosys are figuring out a way to make the colors of LED lights more vivid, while using the same amount of energy as current LEDs (http://dvice.com/archives/2009/01/led-pitcher-is.php). How are they accomplishing this feat? Why, they're using nanotechnology, of course.
They slather this nano goop over blue LED lights, because that color is the most energy-efficient. This strange semiconductor material changes the colors of those LEDs, resulting in a rainbow of hues that look a whole lot brighter.
Best of all, this nanotech can make the color rendering index (CRI) of warm white light look a lot more appealing. Bravo. Expect to see this tech on laptop displays, HDTV screens, and lighting fixtures by the end of this year.
