- LED's Light emitting diodes
- Conventional LED's contain a single pn junction.
- the pn junction may include an intermediate undoped region; this type of pn junction may also be called a pin junction.
- conventional LED's pass an electrical current much more readily in one direction, i.e., in the direction where electrons are moving from the n-region to the p-region. When a current passes in the "forward" direction through the LED, electrons from the n-region recombine with holes from the p-region, generating photons of light.
- the light emitted by a conventional LED is monochromatic in appearance; that is, it is generated in a single narrow band of wavelengths.
- the wavelength of the emitted light corresponds to the energy associated with electron-hole pair recombination. In the simplest case, that energy is approximately the band gap energy of the semiconductor in which the recombination occurs.
- LED's may additionally contain one or more quantum wells at the pn junction which capture high concentrations of both electrons and holes, thereby enhancing light-producing recombination.
- Several investigators have attempted to produce an LED device which emits white light, or light which appears white to the 3- color perception of the human eye.
