    Visible light communication (VLC) technology is a new type of wireless communication technology, which employs a light source as the carrier of information to realize illumination and communication simultaneously. This paper adopts a single InGaN/GaN-base multi-quantum well blue micro-light emitting diode (LED) as the light source, designs pre-emphasis circuit, LED driver circuit, impedance matching network, etc., and builds a high-speed real-time VLC system. It has been verified that the LED achieves a 3 dB modulation bandwidth of 450 MHz or more; and the real-time communication rate reaches over 800 Mbit/s at a distance of 2 m. The communication bit error rate (BER) is as low as 3.02×10-12 at a communication rate of 622 Mbit/s. Experimental indicators including 3 dB bandwidth, communication rate, and communication BER are all taken into account. Therefore, this VLC system supports high-quality high-speed real-time communication.
