L.E.Ds are available in many coloured shapes and sizes. They are mainly used as indicators to tell you if something has turned on or happened.

They even light up traffic lights.

They can be
used to tell

you that your
food is
cooking in
the
microwave
or your TV
or computer
is on
standby.

They are often used
to display numbers
in clocks. Did you
know that James
Bond's first digital
watch used L.E.D.
technology?

 

They can
inform you
that a device is
switched on
and working.

 

Over the past twenty years the original technology has been
developed much further to produce flat panel screens. These
are now commonly used as computer monitors and wide
screen TV's in many of our homes. The L.E.D. is a very
popular component and seen in many of the products that
we buy.
