Blend Blue LEDs and Phosphors to Make HB LEDs

”LEDs work because whenever a forward current is flowing through a semiconductor junction diode, each time an electron and a hole recombine, energy is released as a photon. The color of the light is related to the energy of the photon, which is in turn determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor material. . . .”
