  2. Light-emitting diode physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics

    LED development began with infrared and red devices made with gallium arsenide. Advances in materials science have enabled making devices with ever-shorter wavelengths, emitting light in a variety of colors. LEDs are usually built on an n-type substrate, with an electrode attached to the p-type layer deposited on its surface.

  3. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

    The first LED was created by Soviet inventor Oleg Losev [9] in 1927, but electroluminescence was already known for 20 years, and relied on a diode made of silicon carbide. ...

  4. Gallium nitride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium_nitride

    Gallium nitride (Ga N) is a binary III/V direct bandgap semiconductor commonly used in blue light-emitting diodes since the 1990s. The compound is a very hard material that has a Wurtzite crystal structure.

  5. Poly(p-phenylene vinylene) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(p-phenylene_vinylene)

    PPV and its derivatives are electrically conducting upon doping. Although insoluble in water, its precursors can be manipulated in aqueous solution. The small optical band gap and its bright yellow fluorescence makes PPV a candidate in applications such as light-emitting diodes (LED) and photovoltaic devices. [1]

  6. Gallium arsenide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium_arsenide

    Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is a III-V direct band gap semiconductor with a zinc blende crystal structure.. Gallium arsenide is used in the manufacture of devices such as microwave frequency integrated circuits, monolithic microwave integrated circuits, infrared light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, solar cells and optical windows.

  7. OLED - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLED

    An organic light-emitting diode (OLED), also known as organic electroluminescent (organic EL) diode, [1] [2] is a type of light-emitting diode (LED) in which the emissive electroluminescent layer is an organic compound film that emits light in response to an electric current.

  9. Phosphor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphor

    LED phosphors can be placed directly over the die or made into a dome and placed above the LED: this approach is known as a remote phosphor. [27] Some colored LEDs, instead of using a colored LED, use a blue LED with a colored phosphor because such an arrangement is more efficient than a colored LED. Oxynitride phosphors can also be used in LEDs.
