Light emitting diodes, or most commonly known as LEDs, are solid-state electronic devices used to produce light. Practically LEDs are a special type of diodes encased into tiny transparent plastic bulbs, which emit light when powered. Unlike traditional light bulbs and fluorescent tubes, LEDs do not use metal filamen... |

Sharp's semiconductor unit is reported to be working on a new Blu-Ray laser diode that will bring 8x reading speeds in the HD industry until 2010. The company also plans to release a 250mW blue laser diode with only 6x speeds in a two-year timeframe.During yesterday's conference in Japan, Sharp showcased it... |

The LED or Light-Emitting Diode was first discovered in the early 20th century, when various scientists from all over the world, working in similar science areas, noticed that a semiconductor junction could produce light when an electric current was applied. A LED emits incoherent narrow-spectrum light when electrica... |

Remember the news about Blu-ray diodes manufacturing price lowering down? It's finally happening and with this announcement the PS3 is more surely getting a price reduction as well this time. As, The Digitimes reports, "the production cost of the game console could be reduced by as much as US$100, according to... |

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits incoherent narrow-spectrum light through a form of electroluminescence. LEDs are small extended sources with extra optics added to the chip, which emit a complex intensity spatial distribution. The color of the emitted light depends on the composition... |

Why do you think it's a possibility that the PS3 will see a price cut this year? Remember what made it expensive? Blu-ray my friend...Blu-ray. But what is it with this technology that it costs so much to implement in the PS3? Everything comes down to the little diodes from which that nice stripe of blue-violet l... |
