Abstract: Light emitting diodes (LED’s) are becoming used very widely today as light sources in hard to maintain applications such as traffic lights and low power applications such as cell phone display backlights. They are recognized as a way to sharply reduce our total energy bill if they can exceed the “brightness per dollar” of fluorescent light bulbs.

Nanotechnology is enabling higher brightness LED by improving both light creation inside the device and light extraction from the device. I will show examples of recent research results on nano-enabled LED’s and describe how they work. I will then discuss how imprint appears to be the technology of choice to enable very small features to be created for less than 1 cent per LED.

Bio: Michael Watts is been working in semiconductor process, and equipment development for 25 years. Most recently he was one of the founding team at Molecular Imprints based in Austin TX. Today, he is an independent consultant working in imprint patterning and lithography. He has a PhD in Materials Science from the University of Manchester.

VENUE: You may attend the presentation from any one of these law offices of Winstead Sechrest & Minick P.C. or from UT Dallas
