Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000674

A semiconductor light source that emits light when an electric current passes through it. Electrons in the semiconductor material recombine with electron holes, releasing energy in the form of photons. LEDs are energy-efficient and have a long lifespan, commonly used in displays, lighting, and indicators.
