2. Shuji Nakamura - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuji_Nakamura

   Shuji Nakamura (中村 修二, Nakamura Shūji, born May 22, 1954) is a Japanese-American electronic engineer and inventor of the blue LED, a major breakthrough in lighting technology. [5] Nakamura specializes in the field of semiconductor technology, and he is a professor of materials science at the College of Engineering of the University of ...

3. Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode

   The filaments use a rather high voltage, allowing them to work efficiently with mains voltages. Often a simple rectifier and capacitive current limiting are employed to create a low-cost replacement for a traditional light bulb without the complexity of the low voltage, high current converter that single die LEDs need. [60]

4. Blue light spectrum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_light_spectrum

   LED lighting, digital screens, and fluorescent bulbs are examples of common artificial blue light sources. [7] [6] LED lighting is widely used due to its durability and energy efficiency. [2] 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]

5. Light-emitting diode physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics

   The materials used for the LED have a direct band gap with energies corresponding to near-infrared, visible, or near-ultraviolet light. 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.

6. LED lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_lamp

   Color rendering quality is specified by the color rendering index (CRI), and as of 2019 is about 80 for many LED bulbs, and over 95 for more expensive high-CRI LED lighting (100 is the ideal value). [citation needed] RGB or trichromatic white LEDs use multiple LED chips emitting red, green, and blue wavelengths. These three colors combine to ...

7. List of automotive light bulb types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_automotive_light...

   Bulbs used for headlamps, turn signals and brake lamps may be required to comply with international and national regulations governing the types of lamps used. Other automotive lighting applications such as auxiliary lamps or interior lighting may not be regulated, but common types are used by many automotive manufacturers.
