Light-emitting diode ways of producing white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs), LEDs that generate high-intensity white light. One is to use individual LEDs that emit three primary colors—red, green, and blue—and then mix all the colors to form white light. The other is to use a phosphor material to convert monochromatic light from a blue or UV LED to broad-spectrum white light, much in the same way a fluorescent light bulb works. The 'whiteness' of the light produced is essentially engineered to suit the human eye. The yellow phosphor in LEDs is cerium-doped YAG crystal, in powder form and may be suspended in plastic,
Light-emitting diode is translucent, the junction becomes the source of light as it is emitted, thus becoming a light-emitting diode. However, when the junction is reversely biased, the LED produces no light, and if the potential is great enough, the device is damaged. The LED consists of a chip of semiconducting material doped with impurities to create a "p-n junction". As in other diodes, current flows easily from the p-side, or anode, to the n-side, or cathode, but not in the reverse direction. Charge-carriers—electrons and holes—flow into the junction from electrodes with different voltages. When an electron meets a hole, it falls
