Metal Halide Perovskite LEDs for Visible Light Communication and Lasing Applications

Metal halide perovskites, known for their pure and tunable light emission, near-unity photoluminescence quantum yields, favorable charge transport properties, and excellent solution processability, have emerged as promising materials for large-area, high-performance light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Over the past decade, significant advancements have been made in enhancing the efficiency, response speed, and operational stability of perovskite LEDs. These promising developments pave the way for a broad spectrum of applications extending beyond traditional solid-state lighting and displays to include visible light communication (VLC) and lasing applications. This perspective evaluates the current state of perovskite LEDs in those emerging areas, addresses the primary challenges currently impeding the development of perovskite-based VLC systems and laser diodes, and provides an optimistic outlook on the future realization of perovskite-based VLC and electrically pumped perovskite lasers.
