white led wikipedia

Hi

in the optical communiction course i need to know information about white led in the following
1-advantage
2-applications
3-structure
4-material
5-state of art
6-efficiency
and and more information
so please can any one give me link to any site include this information
or any reference could help me to do my research
please i need it fast
 

information about white led

A white LED is used as a light, not for communications.
An IR LED is used for communications.
 

report of white led

the teacher of the course want us to make a report about white led about what i written below !!
 

white led summary

So any one can help me ??
 

more white led is important

she told me to search over the internet for that !!
 

possible questions on white led

thank you for help
now i will try to get the information i need

Added after 1 hours 2 minutes:

I still have trouble on searching over the internet so i think if any one can give me link to any reference in this field i think i can have the information i want quickly
 

information of white led

I think you need to start by realizing (you may already know this) that white LEDs are actually blue LEDs with a specialized phosphorous coating. (The coating is actually yellow in color.) There has been some recent breakthroughs in technology heading towards nanocrystaline coatings during the die fabrication stage to produce a white LED that is immensly more efficient. Here's an article about this.. with comparisons to other lighting technologies. https://news.softpedia.com/news/Nanocrystal-Coated-LEDs-Emit-True-White-Light-77798.shtml

Another good source is from one of the leading white LED manufacturers... https://www.philipslumileds.com/technology/whitelighting.cfm

The costs of replacing incandescant and CFL lighting with LEDs is extremely expensive right now as the efficiencies are relatively low (watts per lumen), and the design and packaging is rather expensive. Thermal management is extremely important as the light intensity demands increase. I've had the privilege to work on a few very high end LED lighting projects, one of them being the worlds brightest white LED light engine at 28,000 lumens @ 1400 Watts, which was a water cooled 5 inch square light source that contained over 1200 LEDs. (**broken link removed**) This technology is not very cost effective when compared to what's currently available, but it is possible.

One other option for white LEDs is to build RGB light sources (red-green-blue) and individually controlling each LED to dial in the desired color temperature. Color temperature is another factor that is important in white LED lighting, if the light is too bright or too cool it can be distracting or even damaging. The standard for room lighting hovers around 5500 degrees Kelvin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature This color temperature requirement also comes in to play when selecting phosphorous coatings paired with appropriate wavelenght blue LEDs.

Here are a few more leading manufacturer links that shoud help...

I hope some of this helps you out...
