LED
An LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a type of semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current is passed through it. LEDs are made from a special type of semiconductor material that emits light when electrons move through it. The emitted light is typically monochromatic, meaning it has a specific color determined by the materials used to make the LED.
LEDs are commonly used as indicators in electronic devices such as computers, televisions, and other consumer electronics products. They are also used as sources of light in a wide range of applications, including automotive lighting, streetlights, signage, and home and commercial lighting. LEDs are popular for their low power consumption, long life, and high efficiency compared to traditional incandescent and fluorescent bulbs.
The color of an LED depends on the materials used to make it. LEDs can emit light in a range of colors such as red, green, blue, yellow, and white. LEDs can also be combined to produce a wide range of colors using RGB (Red, Green, Blue) technology.
LEDs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, from small surface-mount LEDs used in electronics to high-power LEDs used in lighting applications. The brightness of an LED is typically measured in lumens, and the current required to operate an LED is typically measured in milliamperes (mA).
