Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
When a light-emitting diode is forward-biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor. LEDs are often small in area (less than 1 mm), and integrated optical components may be used to shape their radiation pattern. 5, record 1, English, - light%2Demitting%20diode

Une diode électroluminescente ne laisse passer le courant électrique que dans un seul sens (le sens passant, comme une diode classique, l'inverse étant le sens bloquant); de plus elle produit un rayonnement monochromatique ou polychromatique incohérent à partir de la conversion d’énergie électrique lorsqu'un courant la traverse. 9, record 1, French, - diode%20%C3%A9lectroluminescente
