LED or light-emitting diode
- Semiconductor diode that produces visible or infrared light when
subjected to an electric current, as a result of
electroluminescence.
Visible-light LED's are
used in many electronic devices such as indicator lamps (e.g., an
on/off indicator) and, when arranged in a matrix, to spell out letters
or numbers on alphanumeric displays.
Infrared LED's are used
in optoelectronics (e.g., in auto-focus cameras and television remote
controls) and as light sources in some long-range fibre-optic communications
systems.
LED's are formed by the
so-called III-V compound semiconductors related to
gallium
arsenide.
They consume little power,
are long-lasting and relatively inexpensive.
