Description
Summary:The first bioinspired hybrid white‐light‐emitting diodes (bio‐HLEDs) featuring protein cascade coatings are presented. For easy fabrication a new strategy to stabilize proteins in rubber‐like material was developed. The synergy between the excellent features of fluorescent proteins and the easily processed rubber produces bio‐HLEDs with less than 10% loss in luminous efficiency over 100 hours.
