  A research team led by Prof. Keon Jae Lee from the Department of Materials Science has developed a low cost production technology for thin-film blue flexible vertical micro LEDs (f-VLEDs). The blue GaN f-VLEDs achieved optical power density (~30 mW/mm2) three times higher than that of lateral micro LEDs, and a device lifetime of 100,000 hours by reducing heat generation. These blue f-VLEDs could be conformally attached to the curved skin and brains for wearable devices, and stably operated by wirelessly transferred electrical energy.
