Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLED stands for Light Emitting Diode.
LED (light-emitting diode):
- The LED (light-emitting diode) is a PN junction device that emits light when a current pass through it in the forward direction, i.e. when LED is forward biased, it emits light.
-
In an LED, this energy lies in the visible region of electromagnetic radiation, and the photon released is perceived as light.
-
An LED in this way converts electrical energy into light energy.
- In reverse biased mode, it works like a normal diode and does not emit light.
- It is an optical semiconductor device that emits light when voltage is applied means it converts electrical energy into light energy.
- When Light Emitting Diode (LED) is forward biased, the free electrons from the n-side and the holes from the p-side are pushed towards the junction.
- Light-emitting diodes emit either visible light or invisible infrared light when forward biased.
- The LEDs which emit invisible infrared light are used for remote controls.
- LEDs that can emit red, yellow, orange, green, and blue light are available for commercial use.
