Light-emitting Diode (Noun)
Meaning
Diode such that light emitted at a p-n junction is proportional to the bias current; color depends on the material used.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The invention of the light-emitting diode was a crucial step towards the development of efficient and long-lasting lighting solutions.
- The light-emitting diode works on the principle that when an electric current passes through a p-n junction, it releases energy in the form of light.
- A light-emitting diode is an example of a diode that emits light at a p-n junction proportional to the bias current applied to it.
- By changing the material used in the construction of the light-emitting diode, manufacturers can produce different colors of light.
- Scientists research new materials to improve the efficiency and color range of light-emitting diodes in various electronic devices and lighting applications.
