How LEDs work?
LEDs work differently from incandescent or
fluorescent lighting. Traditional incandescent lighting works by heating
a material up to make it glow. Fluorescent lights use electrical
current to make mercury vapor emit ultraviolet (UV) light, which in turn
causes a layer of phosphor on the inside of the light tube to glow.
LEDs, on the other hand, contain a piece of
semiconductor material made up of two distinct sides – one positive and
one negative – known as a p-n junction. The positive side has “holes” in
it that catch electrons as an electrical current is passed through the
material. When the electrons are driven to fall into the holes, they
release energy as light. The color of the light given off depends on the
wavelength of energy the electrons release, which is determined by the
materials the semiconductor is made of. As a result, the development of
different colors of LED is closely tied to materials science and the
development of semiconductors that enable ever-shorter wavelengths to be
released in a very precise and controlled way.
