  • A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when current flows through it.
  • As the color varies, the forward voltage varies, in LED.
  • Typically, the forward voltage of an LED is between 1.8 and 3.3 volts.
  • “White” LED has a high voltage, typically 3.2 - 3.6V. 

Various LED's with their color and voltage drop are as follows:

 

Semiconductor Material Wavelength Colour Voltage Drop (Forward)
GaAs 850 - 940 nm Infra - red > 1.9 V
GaAsP 630 - 660 nm Red 1.8 V
GaAsP 605 - 620 nm Amber 2.05 V
GaAsP:N 585 - 595 nm Yellow 2.15 V
AlGaP 550 - 570 nm Green 2.2 V
SiC 430 - 505 nm Blue 2.6 V
GaInN 450 nm White 3.5 V
