    The document discusses the history and workings of LEDs. It begins with the inventor of the LED, Oleg Losev in 1927. It then discusses how an LED works using a pn junction diode and how different colors are formed. It notes that LEDs can work on both DC and AC power. The advantages listed are efficiency, color, size, response time, less heat produced, and long lifetime. Disadvantages include initial high cost, temperature dependence, voltage sensitivity, light distribution, electrical polarity, and blue light hazard. Applications mentioned include use in supermarkets and jewelry to highlight products.

    Electronic Representation

    ITS
    PN JUNCTION DIODE ONLY!!!

    HOW DOES IT WORK?

    Whats happening
    Inside?

    HOW COLORS ARE FORMED?

    White LED Formation

    VARYING SIZES

    Different sized LEDs. 8 mm, 5 mm


    and 3 mm, with a wooden matchstick for scale.

    DOES LED WORKS


    ON DC ONLY?
    Noooooooooooo
    In 2009,Seoul Semiconductors
    invented HPLED(High Power LED)
    which works on ac also!!!!

    ADVANTAGES:

    Efficiency
    colour
    Size
    Response time
    Less heat
    Lifetime(35k to 50k hrs)

    DIS-ADVANTAGES

    High initial cost


    Temperature dependence
    Voltage Sensitivity
    Spherical light distribution
    Electrical Polarity
    Blue hazard
    Droop

    APPLICATIONS

    BUSINESS MIND:
    In Super market, bright
    LEDs form Fresh look to
    the vegetables and meat.

    In jewelry, the
    dimmer LEDs form
    extra bit of glittering
    to the gold, silver or
    stones

    CONTINUES..
    TO OLED
