WHAT DOES LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

light-emitting diode

Light-emitting diode

A light-emitting diode is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It resembles a basic pn-junction diode, which emits light when activated. When a fitting voltage is applied to the leads electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor. An LED is often small in area, and integrated optical components may be used to shape its radiation pattern. Appearing as practical electronic components in 1962, the earliest LEDs emitted low-intensity infrared light. Infrared LEDs are still frequently used as transmitting elements in remote-control circuits, such as those in remote controls for a wide variety of consumer electronics. The first visible-light LEDs were also of low intensity, and limited to red. Modern LEDs are available across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness. Early LEDs were often used as indicator lamps for electronic devices, replacing small incandescent bulbs.

Definition of light-emitting diode in the English dictionary

The definition of light-emitting diode in the dictionary is a diode of semiconductor material, such as gallium arsenide, that emits light when a forward bias is applied, the colour depending on the semiconductor material: used as off/on indicators LED.
