Popis: Improvement of 1.4× in the external quantum efficiency and luminous efficiency (lm/W) of transparent-substrate (AlxGa1−x)0.5In0.5P/GaP light-emitting diodes is demonstrated. The improvement is accomplished by reducing the thickness of the active layer to ⩽2000 A and increasing the internal quantum efficiency by using multiple thin (⩽500 A) active layers. The maximum luminous efficiency achieved is 73.7 lm/W at λp∼615 nm and the maximum external quantum efficiency is 32.0% at λp∼632 nm.
