4.3 Light Emitting DiodeWhen carriers are injected across a forward-biased junction, the current is usually induced by recombination. Injection electroluminescence: In a semiconductor with an indirect bandgap, such as Si or Ge, the recombination releases heat to the lattice. On the other hand, in a material characterized by direct recombination, considerable light may be given off from the junction under forward bias.Applications: digital displays, traffic and automotive signals, and illumination.
