Light Emitting Diodes
•When electrons and holes combine,
they release energy.
•This energy is often released as heat
into the lattice, but in some
materials, known as direct bandgap
materials, they release light.
•Engineering LEDs can be difficult,
but has been done over a wide range
of wavelengths.
•This illustration describes the
importance of the plastic bubble in
directing the light so that it is more
effectively seen.
