<\/a>I switched to LED lights on my Christmas tree this year and, while generally pleased, there is no doubt that the colors are a bit “off.” A simple nanotech coating could change that by making colors brighter and warmer.<\/p>\n

Nanosys is the company behind this new approach, and the process is fairly simple: a phospor material developed from nanomaterials is layered over standard blue LEDs (the most energy-efficient color) to create a spectrum of colors that are warmer and more vivid. So, unlike other methods (quantum dots for example<\/a>), Nanosys hasn’t tried to reinvent the wheel. Manufacturers could simply apply the coating without having to start over with a completely new product.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Nanosys’ material could be utilized in a lot more than just light fixtures. Think about laptop and HDTV displays with better, brighter screens—all without increasing energy consumption. [Treehugger<\/a> via DVICE<\/a>]<\/p>\n
