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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
