  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover III-Nitride Based Light Emitting Diodes and Applications

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 133))

Abstract

A study to overcome the “green gap” problem is introduced. We show a breakthrough achieved by two-step growth with adopting AlGaN interlayer in this chapter. Bright yellow, amber with red LEDs and an application of phosphor-free white LED are demonstrated.
