Led lights

The increasing commercialization puts pressure on the retail market to look into every nook and cranny such that their merchandise succeeds in attracting customer support. The multicolor LED lamp enhances the customer acceptability of a product as it adds to its grandeur. Light emitting diodes are used to augment the flavor of the modern lighting system. These multipurpose lamps are known to highlight certain features, create the ideal atmosphere or even transform the look suiting individual requirements. Phillips and Wipro are the most noted companies spearheading the cause. Fashion industry, interior designing and especially architects are solely dependent on these lighting fixtures to offer infinite color palette for one to choose from.

LED's--information and uses

Since its invention in 1962, LED's or Light-emitting diodes have taken the world my storm. From torches to televisions, LED's are being used in abundance in everyday items. They consume less energy, have a longer lifespan, are compact in size and are durable and reliable. They are used in automobile's, D.V.D players, and traffic signals and even in the aviation industry. LED's were first used to replace the incandescent indicator lamps and neon lights. Later they were used in all other appliances like telephones, watches and calculators. LED's are brighter and more durable than any other man-made light producing invention. When LED's were first introduced to the public, they were too expensive and therefore were not used much.

LED in Automobiles

How often do we see CFL, bulbs, tubelights anymore? What we see instead are beautiful little dots of lights. These are called LEDs, or Light Emitting Diodes. The reason that they are used so often nowadays is that they consume much less electricity and produce less heat, thus wasting less energy.

One industry which has witnessed a large rise in the usage of LEDs is the automobile industry. Many premium new cars now use LED headlamps instead of the more traditional halogens or xenons. These are easier on the eyes on other road users, and do not blind them, unlike halogens on high beam. Also they lend a certain aesthetic appeal to the vehicle if implemented properly. The trend was started by Audi, but now has been adopted by many major manufacturers.

Organic Light Emitting Diodes

Wouldn't you like to be able to read off the screen of your laptop in direct sunlight or want mobile phone battery to last much, much longer?With breakthrough technological advancement in the development of Organic Displays, this is a reality.
OLED, a solid-state device composed of thin films of organic molecules, creates light with the application of electricity. They provide brighter, crisper displays on electronic devices and use less power than conventional LED’S used today. This technology is based on a revolutionary discovery that light-emitting, fast switching diodes could be made from polymers as well as from semiconductors. Organic LED screens emit their own light, eliminating the need for back lighting and allowing designers to develop slimmer and more power efficient monitors. Organic LED's are a state-of-the-art discovery and its implementations can go onto bringing about slimmer, flexible and energy efficient gadgets.
