These systems enable emission across a broad spectral range from ultraviolet to infrared with properties tunable via composition, strain, and quantum confinement. This review summarizes progress in the performance of nitride emitters across the full spectral range, with particular emphasis on the evolution of external quantum efficiency (EQE). Nitride emitters are primarily based on InGaN quantum wells, while AlGaN quantum wells are used for ultraviolet operation. Device performance is governed by the intrinsic properties of these structures, which also determine key physical challenges across different wavelength regions. Blue InGaN LEDs achieve the highest efficiencies (~60\u201380% EQE), while green devices are limited to ~20\u201335% due to the \u201cgreen gap,\u201d with further reduction (~5\u201320%) toward longer wavelengths. In the ultraviolet, AlGaN-based emitters exhibit lower performance due to material and structural challenges, although steady progress is being made. Special attention is given to mechanisms limiting EQE, including efficiency droop in the green\u2013red region, and ongoing efforts to mitigate these effects. Finally, perspectives for future applications of [ are outlined.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma19143088","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,20]],"date-time":"2026-07-20T06:09:09Z","timestamp":1784527749000},"page":"3088","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Nitride-Based Quantum Structures in Optoelectronics\u2014A Survey of Colors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Iza","family":"Gorczyca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of High Pressures Physics, UNIPRESS, 01-142 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tadek","family":"Suski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of High Pressures Physics, UNIPRESS, 01-142 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5529-4075","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"Perlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of High Pressures Physics, UNIPRESS, 01-142 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7630-2556","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grzegorz","family":"Staszczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of High Pressures Physics, UNIPRESS, 01-142 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Nakamura, S., Pearton, S.J., and Fasol, G.
