Higher light output intensity and wider polar radiation pattern of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with a different nanoscale titanium dioxide (TiO2) textured densities film have been observed. The light output power values and external quantum efficiency of the conventional LEDs at an injection current of 20 mA are 6.34 mW and 11.7%, respectively. The light output power values and external quantum efficiency of the nanoscaled TiO2 textured LEDs at an injection current of 20 mA are 7.55 mW and 14%, respectively. The light output intensity and power values of the nanoscaled TiO2 textured LEDs is approximately 65% and 20% higher than that of the conventional LEDs, respectively. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
