PHYSICS PRESENTATION

NAME :-NISHAD SAHIL SHIVKUMAR


ENROLLMENT NO :- 231130116047
BRANCH :- INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

SEMESTER :- 2ND SEMESTER


COLLEGE :- SAL COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
ADVANCED APPLICATION OF SEMICONDUCTOR :-
LED (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE)
• A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when
current flows through it. Electrons in the semiconductor recombine with electron
holes, releasing energy in the form of photons.
• The color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photons) is determined
by the energy required for electrons to cross the band gap of the semiconductor.
• In a light emitting diode, the recombination of electrons and electron holes in a
semiconductor produces light (be it infrared, visible or UV), a process called
“electroluminescence”.
SYMBOL OF LED :-
WORKING PRINCIPLE OF LED :-
• A light-emitting diode is a two-lead semiconductor light source.
• It is a p–n junction diode that emits light when activated.
• When the diode is forward biased, the minority electrons are sent from p
→ n while the minority holes are sent from n → p.
• At the junction boundary, the concentration of minority carriers increases.
• The excess minority carriers at the junction recombine with the majority
charges carriers.
• In light-emitting diodes, the energy is released in the form of photons.
CHARACTERISTICS OF LED :-
• Here the x-axis represents the forward
applied voltage and the y-axis shows
the forward current flowing through
the device.
• The forward voltage of an LED is equal to
the band gap.
•
ADVANTAGES OF LED :-
• LEDS ARE NOT MUCH EXPENSIVE HENCE IS EASILY
AFFORDABLE. IT IS A LOW POWER DEVICE. LED SHOWS
GOOD RELIABILITY.

DISADVANTAGES OF LED :-
• A MAJOR DRAWBACK OF LED IS THAT IF PROPER CONTROL IS
NOT MAINTAINED WHILE PROVIDING VOLTAGE OR TO THE
CURRENT FLOWING THROUGH IT. THEN IT CAN CAUSE
TOTAL DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE.
APPLICATION OF LED:-
• Camera flashes
• Digital watches
• Automotive heat lamps Digital computers Traffic
signals Optical Communication Indicator lamps in
electric equipment LED television Street lighting
