Green electroluminescence from a point contact on a crystal of SiC recreates Round's original experiment from 1907. Close-up of a 1 watt red power led. The first Light-Emitting Diode was created in 1927 by Russian inventor Oleg Losev, [1] and used silicon carbide as a semiconductor.
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. ...
At the time, many considered creating a GaN LED too difficult to produce; therefore, Nakamura was fortunate that the founder of Nichia, Nobuo Ogawa (1912–2002), was willing to support and fund his GaN project. [9] [10] However, the senior Ogawa ceded the presidency to his son-in-law Eiji Ogawa (in 1989). The company under Eiji's direction ...
Detail view of an LED display with a matrix of red, green and blue diodes The 1,500-foot (460 m) long LED display on the Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, is currently the largest in the world. A LED display is a flat panel display that uses an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as pixels for a video display.
A LED is a long-lived light source, but certain mechanisms can cause slow loss of efficiency of the device or sudden failure. 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 ...
The high precision of narrow-band LED therapy enabled its first use in clinical practices. The commonly used lights in LEDT are blue, red, green, yellow, and infrared (IR). [1] LEDT's general mechanism is related to cellular receptor metabolism. Light functions as an external stimulus and influences cellular metabolism by initiating photo ...

For example, a green LED is sensitive to blue light and some green light, but not to yellow or red light. This implementation of LEDs may be added to designs with only minor modifications in circuitry. [10] An LED can be multiplexed in such a circuit, such that it can be used for both light emission and sensing at different times. [10] [12]
