LEDs - Circuit Board Indicators, Arrays, Light Bars, Bar Graphs

1. Overview

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor devices that convert electrical energy into light through electroluminescence. This product category includes indicators, arrays, light bars, and bar graphs designed for circuit board integration. LEDs serve critical roles in modern electronics for status indication, data visualization, and illumination. Their advantages include low power consumption, long lifespan, and compact form factors.

2. Main Types and Functional Classification

Type	Functional Features	Application Examples
Indicators	Single/dual-color point-source lighting for status indication	Power switches, network routers, medical device panels
Arrays	Matrix configurations for alphanumeric/symbol display	Seven-segment displays, dot matrix modules
Light Bars	Linear arrangements for directional lighting/brightness zones	Audio level meters, industrial control panels
Bar Graphs	Segmented columns for quantitative visual representation	Battery level indicators, sensor data visualization

3. Structure and Components

Typical LED components include:

Die: Gallium Nitride (GaN) or Indium Gallium Aluminum Phosphide (InGaAlP) semiconductor chips
Substrate: FR4 or metal-core PCB for thermal management
Encapsulation: Epoxy resin with diffused/optical lens structures
Driver Circuitry: Current-limiting resistors or PWM control ICs

4. Key Technical Specifications
