Even if you are designing a microcontroller-based LED display system, often it may calls for a manual option to control brightness of the LED display unit. On the otherhand, if it is based on discrete ...

Featuring small size, long battery life, and low power consumption, LEDs are expected to be used in a variety of new applications as a next-generation lighting source. With remarkable improvements in ...

Maxim Integrated Products (www.maxim-ic.com) has introduced two new high-brightness light emitting diode (HB-LED) driver integrated circuits for automotive applications, the MAX16819/MAX16820 and the ...

A typical LCD consists of liquid crystal material with transparent electrodes and polarizing filters. Applying voltage across the liquid crystal layer allows light to pass through in varying amounts.

High power LED lighting is harder than it looks. Power, dimming, control, and communication collide in one design.

Frank Hertel’s project: three individually dimmable LED lights. (Frank is the master of recycling; the wooden mounting pedestals are the panels from a decommissioned ATI console!) Thanks for your ...
