Okwamanje, kunezinto eziningi zikagesi ezisebenzisa ama-LED. Kodwa-ke, ukusetshenziswa kwabo kubangela umthelela omubi emvelweni, ngoba ama-LED aqukethe izinto ezinobuthi.
Ukulungisa lo mphumela oseceleni, ochwepheshe abavela eNyuvesi yase-Utah benze indlela yokukhiqiza ama-diode kusuka kudoti ongenazo izinto ezinobuthi. Lokhu kuzonciphisa inani lemfucuza edinga ukusetshenziswa kabusha.
Into esebenzayo yezingxenye ezikhipha ukukhanya ngamachashazi we-quantum (QDs), amakristalu anjalo anezici ze-luminescent. Ubuhle balawa ma-nanodot ukuthi anenani eliphansi lezinto ezinobuthi.
Ucwaningo lwesimanje lukhombisa ukuthi ama-LED angatholakala kudoti wokudla. Kodwa-ke, ukukhiqizwa kudinga imishini ekhethekile nobuchwepheshe obusezingeni eliphezulu obukhona vele.
