LED(Light Emitting Diode)
A light emitting diode is a semiconductor light
source. Working principle of a LED is
electroluminescence that is when the LED
switched on, electrons are able to recombine with
holes within the device, releasing energy in the
form of photons.
Commercial Development
The first commercial LEDs were commonly used as
replacements for incandescent and neon indicator
lamps, and in seven-segment displays, first in
expensive equipment such as laboratory and
electronics test equipment, then later in such
appliances as TVs, radios, telephones, calculators,
and even watches. Until 1968, visible and infrared
LEDs were extremely costly, in the order of US$ 200
per unit, and so had little practical use.
Commercial Development
The Monsanto Company was the first organization to
mass-produce visible LEDs, using gallium arsenide
phosphide (GaAsP) in 1968 to produce red LEDs
suitable for indicators. Later, other colors became
widely available and appeared in appliances and
equipment. In the 1970s commercially successful LED
devices at less than five cents each were produced
by Fairchild Optoelectronics.
Commercial Development
As LED materials technology grew more advanced,
light output rose, while maintaining efficiency and
reliability at acceptable levels.
Lifetime and Failure
The most common symptom of LED failure is the
gradual lowering of light output and loss of
efficiency. Sudden failures, although rare, can occur
as well.
LED performance is temperature dependent. Most
manufacturers' published ratings of LEDs are for
an operating temperature of 25 °C. LEDs used
outdoors, such as traffic signals, and that are utilized
in climates where the temperature within the light
fixture gets very hot, could result in low signal
intensities or even failure.
Lifetime and Failure
LED light output rises at lower temperatures, leveling
off, depending on type, at around −30 °C. Thus, LED
technology may be a good replacement in uses such
as supermarket freezer lighting and will last longer
than other technologies. However, because they
emit little heat, ice and snow may build up on the
LED light fixture in colder climates. This lack of waste
heat generation has been observed to sometimes
cause significant problems with airport runway
lighting in snow-prone areas.
Applications
Indicators and Signs
Because of their long life, fast switching times and
their ability to be seen in broad daylight, LEDs have
been used in ;
-Brake lights and rear light clusters for vehicles
-Traffic lights
Applications
Indicators and Signs
Red or yellow LEDs are used in
indicator and alphanumeric
displays in environments where
night vision must be retained:
aircraft cockpits, submarine
ship bridges and
astronomy observatories.
Applications
Lightining
LEDs are used increasingly in
aquarium lights. Especially
for reef aquariums, LED lights
provide an efficient light source
with less heat output to help
maintain optimal aquarium
temperatures.
Applications
Lighting
LEDs are the ideal solution for street lighting due to
their long life, directional light, uniform brightness
and illumination.
Applications

Mining operations
Blacklighting for LCD TVs
Lightweight laptop displays
LCD SYSTEMS
A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel
display, electronic visual display, or video display
that uses the light modulating properties of
liquid crystals. Liquid crystals do not emit light
directly.
Liquid crystals were first discovered in 1888. By
2008, annual sales of televisions with LCD
screens exceeded sales of CRT units worldwide;
the CRT became obsolescent for most purposes.
They are used in a wide range of applications including
●Computer monitors
●Televisions
●Instrument panels
●Aircraft cockpit displays
●Signage
They are common in consumer devices such as video
players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and
telephones, and have replaced cathode ray tube (CRT)
displays in most applications.
Also they are available in a wider range of screen sizes
than CRT and plasma displays.
The LCD screen is more energy efficient and can
be disposed of more safely than a CRT. Its low
electrical power consumption enables it to be
used in battery-powered electronic equipment.
Each pixel of an LCD typically consists of a layer
of molecules aligned between two transparent
electrodes, and two polarizing filters, the axes of
transmission of which are perpendicular to each
other. Without the liquid crystal between the
polarizing filters, light passing through the first
filter would be blocked by the second polarizer.
Since LCD panels produce no light of their own,
they require external light to produce a visible
image. In a "transmissive" type of LCD, this light
is provided at the back of the glass "stack" and is
called the backlight.

There are several factors when evaluating an

●Temporal/timing performance
●Color performance
●Color depth or color support
●Brightness and contrast ratio

*Early plasma televisions were enhanceddefinition (ED) with a native resolution of
840×480 (discontinued) or 853×480, and
down-scaled their incoming High-definition
video signals to match their native display
resolution.
ED Resolutions
*Following ED resolutions were common prior
to the introduction of HD displays, but have
long been phased out in favor of HD displays.
High-definition plasma television
• Early high-definition (HD) plasma displays had
a resolution of 1024x1024 and were alternate
lighting of surfaces (ALiS) panels made
by Fujitsu/Hitachi. These were interlaced
displays, with non-square pixels.
