Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the modulated light output from the GaN based light emitting diodes (LEDs) with the incorporation of ZnO nanorod by hydrothermal method. With the ZnO nanorod, the light output from the LEDs increased by 20.2% at an injection current of 100mA and more interestingly, output power was more concentrated in a smaller escape cone of ∼ θ=30° than that of conventional LEDs with a cone of ∼ θ=42°. Surface damaging of LEDs was also avoided by the low temperature hydrothermal growth of ZnO nanorod arrays which was evident as there was no significant change in I-V characteristics for both the cases.
