Applications of LED:
- Indicator / pilot lamps on electronic equipment, panels and chargers.
- Seven-segment and dot-matrix displays (calculators, clocks, meters, scoreboards).
- General lighting: LED bulbs, tube lights, street lights, torches (high efficiency, long life).
- Automotive lamps: head lamps, tail/brake lamps, dashboard lights.
- Traffic signals and sign boards / large video display screens and backlighting of LCD TVs, mobiles.
- Infrared LEDs in TV remote controls, optocouplers, optical fibre communication, sensors and burglar alarms.
(Reasons: low power, fast switching, long life, small size, many colours.)
