The lighting industry has been buzzing with news of solid-state light source advancements for several years. As one light-emitting diode (LED) lighting fixture manufacturer puts it, flat printed ...

Single-crystalline GaN-based light-emitting diodes (s-LEDs) on crystalline sapphire wafers can provide point-like light sources with high conversion efficiency and long working lifetimes. Recently, ...

In line-operated applications, a switched string of diodes can be fully engaged with 12 LED diodes (42 V) or dimmed down to a single LED diode (3.5 V). The LED driver may have an input voltage of 24 V ...

Researchers have created a diode out of a 1 nm-sized single molecule with high rectification ratios. Diodes, commonly used in in everyday electronic devices, allow current to flow in one direction ...

In a previous article, we explored the behavior of an LED diode as a small light source. We have seen how important a protection resistor is to light up this component. In this article, we will ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. LEDs are the most efficient way to turn an electric current into illumination. When a current flows through a diode in the forward ...

The research team said its intrinsic-adjusted extension of the single-diode model can explicitly account for radiative and Auger recombination in the silicon bulk. Radiative recombination occurs when ...

Light can be produced and/or controlled electronically in a number of ways. Among the widely used of all the different types of semiconductor diodes are the Light Emitting Diodes or LEDs. It is a PN ...
