United States: the introduction of ultra-thin light-emitting LED film can be applied in medicine and other fields

Illinois University at Urbana Champaign and an international joint research group, recently developed a thin film light-emitting LED, can be used in many fields, such as medical sensor manufacturing.

This new type of light-emitting LED tube is grid shape, 100 microns square, the thickness of only 2.5 microns, far less than the current market of any light-emitting diode array.

The researchers, the film has a good waterproof properties and biological compatibility, can be used for the production of a variety of materials and equipment, such as implantable diagnostic instruments, light surgical gloves and sutures and intelligent drug delivery system. Compatibility is also very flexible, including aluminum foil, rubber, including a variety of materials can be applied.

In addition, the researchers used this new technology made is called a "sensor image detector", it can respond to light in the reflection between the objects, the development of this technology will help the robot.
