OLED Digital TV

Flat panel TVs have had an amazing eight year growth run, but Digital Signage Today is reporting that Flat Panel TV growth will be flat at about 1% growth from 2009 to 2016. The growth picture for OLED Digital TV will drive demand in the flat panel tv market along with netbooks and eBook applications, according to Display Research. This bodes well for the Sony XEL OLED Digital TV which is one of the few OLED Digital TVs on the market at this early product stage. Not only OLED but LED-Backlight technology is driving production at LG and Samsung where they are forecasting increasing sales for LED Backlit HDTV LCDs. GE, one of the world's leaders in LED lighting technology, continues to bring new products to market utilizing LED, such as outdoor lighting for parking lots and general use. LEDs save significant amounts of energy and lowers lifetime operating costs.

All About LED's

Learn all about LED's including who invented them and what are they used for.

All About LED's

LED's are used in millions of products and thousands of applications. Chances are, you use at least 1 product or many products every single day that integrates LED lights.

LED stands for "light emitting diode". It is basically a semiconductor diode or electronic device that lights up when electricity is passed through it. The light that is emitted by an LED is determined by the material used. LED's can be visible bright lights, infrared, such as those in a remote control, or even near ultraviolet.

The first LED lights were produced in the 1920's by a Russian scientist named Oleg Losev. He published numerous articles in the 1920's and 1930's that talked about devices that produced light through electroluminescence. Oleg Losev was however, unable to develop the device any further due to World War II. Oleg died during the siege of Leningrad in 1942. Surely, Oleg would be astounded at the ubiquitousness and the many uses of his device during the 21st century.

From the time of the publication of Losev's last article on LED's, until about 1955, there was no further research or development into LED technology. That is, until some researchers at Texas Instruments found that a compound of two elements, Gallium and Arsenic, which formed the compound Gallium Arsenide, would give off invisible or infrared light when electricity was applied. These two researchers attained a patent for their light emitting diode. Later, General Electric produced what would be the first visible spectrum LED. The LED has further been improved upon by scientists and researchers in the United States and Japan, which produced different colored LED lights, including red, yellow, reg-orange, blue, green and much later on, white LED's.

LED lights have many advantages in their use and this is certainly why their use is so widespread. Just some advantages of LED versus traditional lighting methods, include the fact that LED's generate more light per watt of electricity than normal light bulbs. This is useful in a myriad of applications, including portable battery powered devices and any devices where energy savings would be advantageous. LED light is also much easier to direct, where light from a bulb is difficult to direct without using a reflective device. LED's also have advantages in size, where many LED's can be put together in devices without making a device heavier or taking up much room. LED's also have a very long life, often up to 1 million hours of use before complete failure.

LED's are used in millions of products, maybe even something that you're using right now. Your mouse? Your computer? Your TV remote control? Radios, clocks, TV's, music players, coffee makers, stoves, refrigerators, just about any electronic device will have at least 1 LED. Due to their many advantages, LED's look to stay around for many years to come.
