Researchers in Sweden have developed a next-generational digital display that utilizes LEDs that react to touch, light, and even a user’s pulse.
Linköping University’s researchers, in a pioneering move, have successfully merged sensors with LED displays. This integration, made possible by the use of Perovskite, a unique material that enhances light absorption and emission in various RGB colors, opens up a world of possibilities for interactive sensory LEDs.
Similarly, these LED screens can charge devices using solar energy absorption as well as light adaption. Currently, LEDs have yet to hit the market, with limitations in the perovskite LEDs’ longevity, limiting consumption.
Despite this, the development of these interactive sensory LEDs offers opportunities in the future, with untold possibilities for their use in areas such as entertainment and gaming, to name a few. Currently, we are a long way from these LEDs hitting the market; nevertheless, they are likely to change how we interact with technology forever.
