- Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia
In electrical engineering, a light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when current flows through it Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons
- LED | Definition, Light, Facts | Britannica
An LED (light-emitting diode) is a semiconductor device that emits infrared or visible light when charged with an electric current
- Light Emitting Diode (LED): What is it How Does it Work?
What is a Light Emitting Diode (LED)? A Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a special type of PN junction diode The light emitting diode is specially doped and made of a special type of semiconductor This diode can emit light when it is in the forward biased state
- Learn About LED Lighting - ENERGY STAR
LED stands for light emitting diode LED lighting products produce light up to 90% more efficiently than incandescent light bulbs How do they work? An electrical current passes through a microchip, which illuminates the tiny light sources we call LEDs and the result is visible light
- LED (Light-emitting diode) explained - Soldered Electronics
The first question that might pop into your mind is, what is exactly an LED? A regular diode is a semiconductor device that works as a one-way switch for electrical current It allows current in only one direction and will stop it from flowing in the other An LED works the same way
- Light Emitting Diode (LED): Principle, Advantages, and Uses
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic device that emits light when an electric current flows through it LED works by passing electricity through a semiconductor, which releases energy in the form of light
- LED - Light Emitting Diode: Basics, Types and Characteristics
