31、vel overview of the history and technology of light-emitting diode (LED) light sources and LED lighting systems. Although this document is not intended to be a design guide, LED source and lighting system applications will be addressed as well.As any document cannot serve as the final word on the ra
32、pidly evolving field of LED lighting, readers are encouraged to use this Technical Memorandum as a starting point toward a greater understanding of LED light sources and systems.

34、FINITIONSAnnex B contains a glossary of commonly used terms.4.0 HISTORY OF LEDSAlthough the scientific community had been aware from the beginning of the twentieth century that diodes were capable of emitting radiation, the first practical light-emitting diode (LED) to operate in the visible spectru
35、m was invented in 1962 by Nick Holonyak of General Electric. Further inventions throughout the later 1960s and the 1970s facilitated the development of LEDs that produced additional colors and enabled integration into consumer products. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the advances made in LED technology
36、from 1907 to 2000. Figure 1. Timeline of the invention of the light emitting diode. (Image courtesy of Ray Janik)2IES TM-16-17LEDs were initially used as indicators in electronics and measurement devices; by the 1970s, they were used in seven-segment displays in digital watches and other display app
37、lications. An example of an early LED indicator is shown in Figure 3. Later, as light output and color consistency capabilities improved, LEDs were incorporated into a variety of other direct display applications such as traffic lights and automotive indicator lighting. The invention of a high-brigh
38、tness blue LED by Shuji Nakamura, Isamu Akasaki, and Hiroshi Amano in the early 1990s led to the development of white LED light sources. Since the early 2000s, the development of LEDs as a source of white light has evolved rapidly, with drastic improvements in both light output (lumens) and efficacy
39、 (lumens/watt). Figure 4 provides actual and projected increases in the efficacy of representative LED white light sources from 2005 to 2025. As seen in Figure 4, improvement of over 300 percent is anticipated in this timeframe. It is this increase in lumen output and efficacy that has driven the ad
40、option of LEDs into general lighting applications. The development of white LED sources facilitated incorporation into general lighting products for both interior and exterior environments beginning in the early 2000s. Currently, LED-based lighting products are available for nearly every general lig
41、hting application, and while LEDs continue to be used as indicators, numerous other applications beyond general lighting will be discussed in Section 11.Figure 2.

Depending upon the physical configuration, LED lighting products are referred to as lamps, light

Although these products look very different, they all include the basic system elements described above. 5.1.2 Organic LEDs (OLEDs).

48、created through the use of phosphides and nitrides of aluminum, indium, and gallium in LED die fabrication. The two semiconductor material groups most commonly used are AlInGaP (aluminum indium gallium phosphide) compounds, used to create red, orange and amber light, and InGaN (indium gallium nitrid
49、e) compounds, creating blue, cyan, and green light. In addition, these same compounds can produce radiation outside the realm of human vision in the infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.5.3.2 Size. The size of LED dies ranges from tenths of millimeters, used in small indicator devices, to greater than a square millimeter, used in the high-power packages available today. By using multiple dies in an LED package, the appropriate amount of light can be generated for the lighting system requirement. Figure 15 provides a size reference
