Infrared (IR) LEDsInfrared (IR) LEDs are light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit light in the infrared spectrum. Infrared light is invisible to the human eye, but it can be detected by specialized sensors, such as those found in TV remote controls or security cameras. IR LEDs are commonly used in a variety of applications, including remote controls, security systems, and medical equipment.
One of the main advantages of using IR LEDs is that they can transmit signals over long distances without the need for a direct line of sight. This makes them well-suited for use in wireless communication systems, such as IR remote controls. Additionally, IR LEDs are small and consume low power, making them ideal for use in portable electronic devices.
