The world’s first LED which is 50% brighter than the fluorescent lamps has been developed by Matsushita and the Graduate School of Engineering at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. Discharging electrons from a silicon device measuring 5nm into xenon gas and thus producing light. This could result in green lighting systems, which could reduce power consumption and also save natural resources. The device needs the same amount of electricity as fluorescent lamps to produce a more intensive and brighter light. Also, the necessity of using the mercury is cut down. They hope to conduct further research and bring it to market soon as it is commercially viable.
