Introduction to LED
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode.

It is a semiconductor device that emits

light when an electric current passes
through it.

LEDs are used in various applications

such as lighting, displays, and
indicators.
Advantages of LED
LEDs are energy-efficient and
consume less power than traditional
light sources.

They have a longer lifespan than

incandescent bulbs, reducing
maintenance costs.

LEDs are small in size and can be

used in a variety of applications,
including wearable technology.
Working Principle of LED
LEDs are made up of a semiconductor
material that is doped with impurities
to create a p-n junction.

When a voltage is applied to the p-n

junction, electrons and holes combine,
releasing energy in the form of
photons.

The color of the light emitted by an

LED is determined by the type of
semiconductor material used.
Types of LED
Traditional LEDs emit a single color,
typically red, green, or blue.

RGB LEDs combine red, green, and

blue to produce a wide range of
colors.

High-power LEDs are used in

applications that require bright and
intense light output.
Applications of LED
LED lighting is used in homes, offices,
and public places due to its energy
efficiency and long lifespan.

LEDs are used in displays for

televisions, smartphones, and digital
billboards.

LEDs are used in automotive lighting,

including headlights, taillights, and
signal lights.
Future of LED
Researchers are exploring the use of
LEDs in healthcare, including
treatment for skin conditions and
seasonal affective disorder.

The development of flexible and

organic LEDs could lead to new
applications in wearable technology
and flexible displays.
