This invention discloses a white-light communication μLED device with physical-layer temporal
encryption, along with its
encryption method and
system. The device is based on an InGaN / GaN blue μLED array, with orange-red μLED
encryption units based on organic long-
afterglow materials integrated on adjacent mesa via a masking process. These encryption units generate controllably decaying
afterglow emission after the pulsed current stops. By adjusting the pulse parameters, the duration and brightness of the
afterglow can be changed, thereby writing encrypted information in the temporal dimension. The blue unit outputs a high-speed communication
signal, while the orange-red unit emits afterglow carrying the
ciphertext. The two lights mix in space to form a stable
white light output. This structure simultaneously achieves illumination, high-speed communication, and physical-layer encryption in a single device. This invention offers a highly concealed encryption mechanism, a large
modulation bandwidth, a simple device structure, and compatibility with existing systems, providing crucial hardware support for high-security
visible light communication.
