Dark red phosphor for LEDs

Researchers from Siemens Corporate Technology and Osram have unveiled a new dark red luminescent material suited for light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The material came about as a result of a material development method known as High Throughput Experimentation (THE), which allows the screening of large composition areas of complex material systems. The new luminescent material can be used for warm-toned white LEDs for general lighting, LCD backlights, and automotive LEDs.
