    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_lamp

    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 ...

  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 ...

    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.

    A light emitting diode (LED) incapacitator is a weapon designed like a flashlight. It emits an extremely bright, rapid, and well-focused series of "differently-colored random pulses". It emits an extremely bright, rapid, and well-focused series of "differently-colored random pulses".

  6. History of the LED - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_LED

    LED display of a TI-30 scientific calculator (c. 1978), which uses plastic lenses to increase the visible digit size X-Ray of a 1970s 8-digit LED calculator display. Until 1968, visible and infrared LEDs were extremely costly, on the order of US$200 per unit, and so had little practical use. [23]

    Designing school facilities to incorporate the right types of light at the right time of day for the right duration may improve student performance and well-being. Similarly, designing lighting systems that maximize the right amount of light at the appropriate time of day for the elderly may help relieve symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. The ...

  8. Infrared lamp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_lamp

    Remote controls and IrDA devices use infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to emit infrared radiation which is focused by a plastic lens into a narrow beam. The beam is modulated, i.e. switched on and off, to encode the data. The receiver uses a silicon photodiode to convert the infrared radiation to an electric current. It responds only to the ...
