LED stands for "light emitting diode".
An LED that is capable of emitting more than one color is actually composed of more than one diode.
For example, since diodes only transmit electricity in one direction, it's possible to make a green/orange/red LED with only two leads by connecting a red and green emitting diode to both leads, but "pointing" in opposite ways. When DC current is applied in one direction, the red diode emits red light. When it's applied in the opposite direction, the green diode emits green light. When AC current is applied, both diodes emit light part of the time; if the AC alternates quickly enough, your eye blends the red and green and you perceive it as orange (or amber, or yellow, depending on the relative strength of the light sources).
Alternatively, you can make an LED with three diodes (red, green, blue) with distinct leads (one side can be shared, if you want to minimize the number of leads) and depending on the percentage of time voltage is applied to each lead, the diode will appear to emit just about any color you want.

Different between led infrared led?
Both are light emitting diodes, but an infrared led emits infrared light in the electromagnetic spectrum. With the naked eye, humans can't see infrared light but many cameras can. Infrared leds are used in remote controls and many other applications.
How do you identify L1 from L2 in single phase?
L1 and L2 should have different colour insulation. The colours are different in different countries.
What is infrared led?
An IR LED is used in applcations like remote controls...it's much the same as as a normal Light Emitting Diode...Just that the wavelength of the emitted light is not present in the visible spectrum...
How do rainbow LEDs work?
they have a red green and blue diode in the same housing. look at it when you try the different colors and you will see what portion of the cell emits the different colors. You can blend these colors to make almost any color
Operation of led diode?
LED diode:when certain amount of voltage is applied to LED diode the electrons which are present in lower energy level jumps in to higher energy level after certain time the electrons in the higher energy level again jumps in to lower energy level .while jumping from higher energy level to lower energy level electrons emits energy in the form of light(visible or invisible)
Why is the sun made up of seven different colours?
It isn't. It emits every wavelength there is. The seven colors are a human invention.
How do you know sunlgiht is made of different colours?
Sunlight emits wave lengths of all the colours of the rainbow Our (earths atmosphere) caches the blue wavelengths making the sky blue I hope i answered your question
Why sun is yelllow?
The sun in actuality emits rays of different colours across the spectrum. However, our atmosphere filters and blocks out most of them, leaving only the yellow rays passing through.
What does it mean LED?
LED: light emitting diode. It is a diode that emits light when current passes through it
How do you see different colours?
We see different colours because other colours are being absorbed.
What is better 16M colours or LED?
The number of colors in a display is different to the form of the display. LED or CCFL illumination of an LCD display does not in any way impact on the number of colors that can be resolved.
What colours can a bicolour led be?
Usually, red and green.
Can you use LED light for tennis courts?
No, because LED lights could distract by the colours.
What are open signs for in business?
Light has long fascinated mankind and man-made light source had gone a long way since Edison. The latest trend of light source belongs to LED, a semiconductor light source that emits light in a far more efficient and cost effective way than lights. What exactly is LED? LED is short for Light Emitting Diode, a color light source that emits color lights based on the movement of electrons in a semiconductor. Different chemicals produce different colors in LED: it can be either infrared or visible.
How many colours does a parrot have?
It has many different colours
What is difference between diode and led?
They both only allow current in one direction, but the LED emits light when current is flowing.
How many different colors can you get felt in?
You Can Get Felt In Many Different Colours. Especially The Colours In The RainBow.
