01. What is LED?

LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. It is a semiconductor diode that emits incoherent narrow-spectrum light when electrically biased in the forward direction of the p-n junction, as in the common LED circuit. This effect is a form of electroluminescence.

A LED is usually a small area light source, often with optics added to the chip to shape its radiation pattern and assist in reflection.

 

02. Why is it so popular?

LEDs have a variety of applications. LEDs  are real unsung heroes in the electronics world. They do dozens of different jobs and are found in all kinds of devices. Among other things, they form the numbers on digital clocks, transmit information from remote controls, light up watches and tell you when your appliances are turned on. Collected together, they can form images on a jumbo television screen or illuminate a traffic light.

Basically, LEDs are just tiny light bulbs that fit easily into an electrical circuit. But unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs, they don't have a filament that will burn out, and they don't get especially hot. They are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material, and they last just as long as a standard transistor.

04. What are some of its applications?

It can be used on architectural lightings, backlighting, decorative, industrial and general applications, including signs and displays. You’ll be surprised to know LEDs vast applications and how long LEDs have been part of our lives.
In general, LEDs can replace incandescent bulb applications. The cost is initially high, but in the long run, you save more in terms of labor, cost and electrical consumption.
LEDs are worthy successors of neon lighted signs. Power consumptions are dramatically reduced and maintenance costs equally dropped.

Where neon lights outage, LEDs keep the signs “in business.”

 

05. What LED types do you offer?

Right now, we have two LED Backlight Modules. One is the 3 x 1 and the 4 x 1.
The other product we are offering is the ready-made indoor LED frames that comes in three sizes.
Both are usually used in signage applications.
These produce ultra bright, eye-catching signages that are low in electrical power consumption.

06. If LEDs have been out for a long time, why am I only hearing it now?

LEDs used to be very expensive. Even when we have long been living with this technology, most people and industry can not cope with its high price and therefore were not able to apply LED’s wide usage.
Now, many manufacturers were able to develop and produce them at less expensive costs.

It is, however, still important to consider quality over cost.
