Nonpolar and Semipolar Nitride-based Devices Today

Nonpolar and Semipolar Nitride-based Devices Today [Pg.23]

The nonpolar and semipolar nitride devices also have the potential to use the polarization light emission. This property is especially beneficial for backlighting liquid crystal displays (LCD) and projectors. The polarized light sources do not require polarizing filters and thus the screens can be made thinner, lighter, and more energy efficient. [Pg.24]

The future development of the nitride materials and devices with nonpolar and semipolar surfaces inevitably goes in several directions, namely, further optimizations of the material quality, better understanding of the effects, phenomena, and mechanisms typical for this material system, further optimizations of the device performance, and expansion of the device capabilities. [Pg.24]

The thorough understanding of the specific properties of this type of material is of critical importance toward disclosing their full potential. As already mentioned, there are strong research efforts worldwide to investigate and develop high-quality nitride materials with nonpolar and semipolar surfaces. [Pg.24]

At present time, several issues remain to be clarified, but the present high activity indicates that many of the questions about nonpolar materials will be answered and the material quality will be better controlled in the near future. [Pg.25]
