    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

    Optical computer mice use LEDs as a light source for the miniature camera within the mouse. LEDs are useful for machine vision because they provide a compact, reliable source of light. LED lamps can be turned on and off to suit the needs of the vision system, and the shape of the beam produced can be tailored to match the system's requirements.

  3. Light-emitting diode physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics

    The wavelength of the light emitted is a function of the band gap of the semiconductor material used; materials such as gallium arsenide, and others, with various trace doping elements, are used to produce different colors of light. Another type of LED uses a quantum dot which can have its properties and wavelength adjusted by its size. Light ...

    A 230-volt LED filament lamp, with an E27 base. The filaments are visible as the eight yellow vertical lines. An assortment of LED lamps commercially available in 2010: floodlight fixtures (left), reading light (center), household lamps (center right and bottom), and low-power accent light (right) applications An 80W Chips on board (COB) LED module from an industrial light luminaire, thermally ...

  5. Luminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminescence

    Candoluminescence, is light emitted by certain materials at elevated temperatures, which differs from the blackbody emission expected at the temperature in question. Mechanoluminescence, a result of a mechanical action on a solid Triboluminescence, generated when bonds in a material are broken when that material is scratched, crushed, or rubbed

    It emits more blue light than traditional incandescent bulbs, potentially impacting the quality of sleep and eye health if used excessively at night. [2] [8] A person using a smartphone at night. Blue light is emitted by digital screens such as computers, tablets, smartphones, and televisions, which can lead to extended exposure in modern lives ...

  8. Infrared lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_lamp

    Heat lamps may have a red coating to reduce the visible light emitted. Solid-state light emitting diodes can be produced to be efficient sources of near-monochromatic infrared energy. Such sources can be rapidly modulated for communication systems and control signals. A light emitting diode can be closely coupled to an optical fiber, allowing ...
