LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits visible light when an electric current passes through it. The light is not particularly bright, but in most LEDs it is monochromatic, occurring at a single wavelength. The output from an LED can range from red (at a wavelength of approximately 700 nanometers) to blue-violet (about 400 nanometers). Some LEDs emit infrared (IR) energy (830 nanometers or longer); such a device is known as an infrared-emitting diode (IRED).
An LED or IRED consists of two elements of processed material called P-type semiconductors and N-type semiconductors. These two elements are placed in direct contact, forming a region called the P-N junction. In this respect, the LED or IRED resembles most other diodetypes, but there are important differences. The LED or IRED has a transparent package, allowing visible or IR energy to pass through. Also, the LED or IRED has a large PN-junction area whose shape is tailored to the application.
Benefits of LEDs and IREDs, compared with incandescent and fluorescent illuminating devices, include:
- Low power requirement: Most types can be operated with battery power supplies.
- High efficiency: Most of the power supplied to an LED or IRED is converted into radiation in the desired form, with minimal heat production.
- Long life: When properly installed, an LED or IRED can function for decades.
Typical applications include:
- Indicator lights: These can be two-state (i.e., on/off), bar-graph, or alphabetic-numeric readouts.
- LCD panel backlighting: Specialized white LEDs are used in flat-panel computer displays.
- Fiber optic data transmission: Ease of modulation allows wide communicationsbandwidth with minimal noise, resulting in high speed and accuracy.
- Remote control: Most home-entertainment "remotes" use IREDs to transmit data to the main unit.
- Optoisolator: Stages in an electronic system can be connected together without unwanted interaction.
