LED
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are semiconductor devices that emit light when an electric current passes through them. They are widely used in various applications due to their efficiency, long life, and compact size. LEDs come in different colors, sizes, and intensities, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from simple indicator lights to complex display systems.
When selecting an LED for a project, important factors to consider include the emitting color, luminous intensity, forward voltage, and viewing angle. The choice of LED depends on the application's requirements, such as the desired color, brightness, and power consumption. LEDs are available in various packages, including surface-mount technology (SMT) and through-hole configurations, to suit different design needs.
LEDs offer several advantages over traditional lighting sources, including lower energy consumption, longer lifespan, and improved durability. They are also available in a wide range of colors without the need for external filters, providing designers with flexibility in creating various lighting effects.
For engineers and designers, understanding the key specifications of LEDs and how they affect performance is crucial for selecting the right component for their projects. This includes considering the LED's wavelength (color), luminous intensity (brightness), forward voltage, and viewing angle to ensure the LED meets the application's requirements.
