What are light emitting devices?
Different types of light emitting devices, including inorganic light emitting diodes (LEDs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs), and electroluminescence (EL) lamps are compared. Electroluminescent lamps are other applications of light emissive materials.
What are light emitting sources?
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons.
Where do we use LEDs?
Made popular by their efficiency, range of color, and long lifespan, LED lights are ideal for numerous applications including night lighting, art lighting, and outdoor lighting. These lights are also commonly used in electronics and automotive industries, and for signage, along with many other uses.
What are the components of light?
The three components of light
- Ambient lighting. Ambient lighting is evenly distributed and illuminates entire rooms.
- Zone lighting. Zone lighting provides a large amount of light where it is needed for specific activities, e.g. reading, eating, working or looking at pictures or paintings.
- Mood lighting.
What does a light emitting diode ( LED ) do?
Figure 1: A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) A Light Emitting Diode – or LED for short – is a small component that lights up when current flows through it. Sometimes you use it for simple tasks like indicating that your circuit has power, that the circuit is working or that the circuit has failed.
What are the basic components of a circuit?

What is the symbol for an integrated circuit?
There are many versions of the symbol for each component in electronics. Below I’ve listed the ones I’m using the most. The symbol for integrated circuits (IC) comes in different forms. An IC that has a common function like a logic gate or an op-amp is often shown as the symbol for that function (like the Schmitt-triggered inverter below).
How does a semiconductor affect the color of light?
The exact choice of the semiconductor material used will determine the overall wavelength of the photon light emissions and therefore the resulting colour of the light emitted.
