LED ni igikoresho cya semiconductor, gifite amahame akurikira:
Kumurika diode: Iyo electron imbere muri LED zinjijwe muri kirisiti ya P -type ya semiconductor, electron na cavites bizakora ibintu byinshi kandi bitange fotone.
 
Inshingano: LED irashobora kugera kumabara atandukanye no kumurika binyuze muburyo bwa tekinoroji.
 
Igenzura: LED irashobora kugenzura ibipimo nkurumuri rwaka nubucyo binyuze mumashanyarazi ya voltage, ikigezweho nubundi buryo.
