Guest columnist Naoyuki Kobayashi, senior product manager at Murata says that one problem frequently encountered when designing LED lighting circuits is that the capacitors in the circuit experience ...

Abstract: Electrolytic capacitors are notorious for short lifetimes in high-temperature applications such as LED light bulbs. The careful selection of these devices with proper interpretation of their ...

There were a couple of comments in the Samsung LED light teardown that I wanted to highlight in a separate blog post so that they didn’t get lost in the comments thread. The first was alluded to by ...

The function of an LED is to emit light when the device is forward biased within its operating range, and it’s known by most people that an LED can also operate as a photodiode. Perhaps some readers ...

Murata Electronics North America announces its release of a new series of capacitors designed to provide superior DC smoothing and acoustic noise reduction in light-emitting diodes (LED) lighting ...

A novel high power factor, soft-switched Light Emitting Diode (LED) driver without electrolytic capacitors is proposed in this paper. A novel high power factor, soft-switched Light Emitting Diode (LED ...

Schematic and operation of a capacitorless active-matrix micro-LED pixel, where a single memristor (1M) substitutes both the storage capacitor and the driving TFT. The compact 1M cell can be ...
