Development of visible light communications: emerging technology and integration aspects

The global green agenda is having its impact in the field of communications and information exchange. More efficient lighting is considered to be one of the areas that would contribute to the reduction in the carbon foot print. Light emitting diodes (LED) are extremely power efficient in comparison to other light sources and have the potential to be used for data communications. In this paper we give an overview of visible LEDs (both in-organic and organic) for both illumination and data communications.
