Textiles have been getting smarter for years, but they’re usually fairly limited in size and scope. Now a team of scientists led by Cambridge has woven together a 46-inch textile display, loaded with ...

It’s hard to believe that the first blue LED didn’t arrive until 1993. They look simple, but looks are deceiving (Fig. 1). 1. Image showing a blue InGaN-based LED with gold wire contacts (0.4 × 0.4 mm ...

The deployment of electronic LED lighting has grown dramatically over the past five years. Most luminaire manufacturers now offer a family of high-bay industrial LED products operating at AC line ...

Up until 1990, the standard headlight assembly contained only incandescent sources, mostly separate, to create all desired functions. Whether the functions were created by sealed beam lamps or bulb, ...

Lighting plays a dual role in vehicle design. The first is for safety with improved illumination and an extended range to protect people and objects on the road, and the second is for more ...

Researchers from the University of Manchester and University of Sheffield have developed a new prototype semi-transparent, graphene-based LED device that could form the basis of flexible screens for ...

In Part 1 of this three-part series, we discussed the importance of a well-engineered PCB ground plane for LED drivers, so the ground plane can be effective in managing disturbance energy generated ...

High power LED lighting is harder than it looks. Power, dimming, control, and communication collide in one design.

I have had a bunch of do-it-yourself Electronic LED Roulette Wheel kits for years now. I finally got them out of the drawer. Most of them are inexpensive Spinning LED Wheel kits where, when pressing a ...
