We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Light emitting diodes",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Guides shed light on capacitive switches from
Design LED Products, which we summarised at the time by saying "Illuminating capacitive switches has traditionally caused problems to designers as the electric field from the light source affects the operation of the switch".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release OLED tile promises lighting efficiency from
Osram Opto Semiconductors: "OLED prototype has achieved a luminous efficiency of more than 20 lumen/W at a brightness of 1000cd/m".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Isocom Components 2004
concerning its Compact optocouplers
- take a look at Optocouplers save space for protection
which says: "Single and quad optocouplers come in super-space-efficient half-pitch mini flatpacks".
Take a look also at the news release from 3M Electronic Materials, Products keep LED heat down,
as well as Surface mount LEDs are smaller and brighter from Marktech Optoelectronics,
and Automotive image sensors work in the dark from OmniVision.
