  3. What is LED? • LEDis a semiconductor chip that generates light when current is applied to it, which is very different from any other technology currently used in lighting. There are also different types of LED emitters that have different characteristics that affect their applicability in lighting.

  4. What is Infrared LED? • An infrared light-emitting diode (IRLED) is a type of electronic device that emits infrared light not visible to the naked eye. An infraredLED operates like a regular LED, but may use different materials to produce infrared light.

  5. Difference Between the LED and Infrared LED • LED is visible than Infrared LED • Infrared LEDs have a lower forward voltage, and a higher rated current compared to visible LEDs. This is due to differences in the material properties of the junction.

  6. Difference Between the LED and Infrared LED • A typical drive current for an infrared LED can be as high as 50 milliamps, so dropping in a visible LED as a replacement for an infrared LED could be a problem with some circuit designs.

  7. Low Power LEDs • run very low current levels, in the tens of Milliamps • commonly referred as “indicator LEDs” • Low cost

  8. Low Power LEDs

  9. Low Power LEDs • applications (push buttons, switches), clocks, tail lights on cars and trucks, reader boards and low wattage accent lighting applications • approximately 50% of their initial light output within a few thousand hours and cannot generate or maintain enough light for use in general lighting applications

  10. High Power LEDs • always of surface mount form factor (meaning a chip or multiple chips on a die) • running hundreds of milliamps per chip and generate a much more useful amount of light

  11. High Power LEDs

  12. High Power LEDs • far more expensive than their low powered LED cousin but for “general lighting applications” they will perform best • main concern with high powered LEDs is negligible heat

  13. Schematic Symbol of LED

  14. Basic Structure of LED

  15. Simplest packaged LED product • die • lead frame which houses the die • encapsulation epoxy which protectively surrounds the die, and also disperses the light • anvil • post

  16. Simplest packaged LED product • The die is bonded with conductive epoxy into a recess in one half of the lead frame, called the anvil due to its shape. The recess in the anvil is shaped to throw the light radiation forward. The die's top contact is wire-bonded to the other lead frame terminal, the post.

  17. Light Emitting Diode Structure

  18. Light Emitting Diode Structure • LEDs are p-n junction devices constructed of gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP), or gallium phosphide (GaP). Silicon and germanium are not suitable because those junctions produce heat and no appreciable IR or visible light. The junction in an LED is forward biased and when electrons cross the junction from the n- to the p-type material, the electron-hole recombination process produces some photons in the IR or visible in a process called electroluminescence. An exposed semiconductor surface can then emit light.

  19. Functions of LED • LED is a semiconductor chip doped, with impurities to create a p-n junction. The current flows from the p-side, or anode, to the n-side, or cathode, but not in the reverse direction. Charge carriers electrons and holes that flow into the junction from electrodes with different voltages (3 to 3.9VDC).

  20. Functions of LED • When an electron meets a hole, it falls into a lower energy level, and releases energy in the form of a photon (Photon=light). The wavelength of the light emitted, and therefore its color, depends on the band gap energy of the materials forming the p-n junction.

  21. Characteristics

  22. Application of a IRLED • AV instruments such as Audio, TV, VCR, CD, DVD, MD etc. • Home appliances such as Air conditioner, Fan etc. • The other equipments with wireless remote control. • CATV set top boxes. • Multi-media Equipment. • Sensors and light barrier systems for long distances

  23. Application of a LED • indication lights • computer components • watches • medical devices • tanning equipment

  24. Basic Operation • The simplest way to operate an LED is to apply a voltagesourceacross it with a resistor in series. The LED emits constant-intensity light as long as the operating voltage (VB) remains constant (although the intensity decreases with increasing ambient temperature). You can vary the light intensity as required by changing the resistor value.

  25. Basic Operation • Note that the voltage drop across an LED increases with forward current. Assuming that a single green LED with 10mA forward current should have a constant operating voltage of 5V, the series resistor RV equals (5V -VF,10mA)/10mA = 300Ω.
