Diode Defined
A two-terminal device having a low Resistance to electric current in one direction and a high resistance in the reverse direction. Diodes are thus useful as Rectifiers, converting alternating current ( AC) into direct current ( DC). Although Electron-tube diodes were once common, almost all diodes today are Semiconductor devices. In general, current flowing through a diode is not proportional to the voltage between its terminals. When the voltage applied in the reverse direction exceeds a certain value, a semiconductor diode breaks down and conducts heavily in the direction of normally high resistance. This effect can be exploited to regulate voltage. Some diodes are sensitive to light ( Photovoltaic Cell). A light-emitting diode (LED) produces light as current passes through it; some LEDs can act as lasers. A thermistor is a special semiconductor diode whose conductivity increases with the diode temperature.

- GE / CIA collaborate on solid-state light panels that obsolete the light bulb: Solid-state lighting panels will begin to replace the venerable light bulb next year when General Electric (GE) kicks off its printable organic light-emitting diode (OLED) effort. These flexible light panels use an inexpensive printing process to fabricate OLEDs on cheap plastic substrates. Right now the panels are not bright enough to replace high-intensity halogen lights, but over the next decade, as they get brighter, look for the light bulb to be phased out. The wide diversity of architectural, industrial and consumer applications for its flexible OLED lighting panels prompted GE to recently sponsor two design courses at the Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA) which explored the range of applications available. Some of the most promising CIA student designs, according to GE, include under-shelf lighting for retailers, flexible signage for advertisers, illuminated stairs for architects, light-up wallpaper for decorators and illuminated safety jackets, pants and hats.
