description Recently, the rapidly developing Internet of Things (IoT) needs to support massive connectivity with high transmission data rate, which requires IoT transmitters with high speed and low power consumption. In this work, non-polar micro-LED operating at low current density of 10 A/cm<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$^{2}$</tex-math></inline-formula> can still maintain a high bandwidth of 508 MHz and near-peak external quantum efficiency (EQE), making it promising for low-power, energy-efficient visible light communication (VLC) to address the challenge. At 10 A/cm<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$^{2}$</tex-math></inline-formula>, non-polar micro-LEDs can achieve a low power consumption and high energy efficiency, still maintaining the data rate of 0.25 Gbps. In addition, data rates of 2 Gbps and 1.1 Gbps were also successfully achieved for non-polar micro-LED operating at 320 and 50 A/cm<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$^{2}$</tex-math></inline-formula>, respectively, to evaluate the relationship between power consumption and achievable data rate. The capability of non-polar micro-LED that can realize low-power consumption and high bandwidth at low current density is expected to play a great role in the field of energy-efficient VLC, multi-function display and IoT in the future.
