LIGHT EMITTING DIODES DEFINITION (continued): …  at a single wavelength. Theoutput from an LED can range from red (at a wavelength of approximately 700 nanometers) to blue-violet (about 400 nanometers). Some LEDs emit infrared (IR) energy (830nanometers or longer); such a device is known as an infrared-emitting diode (IRED).

An LED or IRED consists of two elements of processed material called P-typesemiconductors and N-type semiconductors. These two elements are placed …
