Is the red light of a opto-electro mouse from a diode or a high brightness LED
Is the red light... from a diode or a high brightness LED
You'll never guess what the D in LED stands for :shhh:

+1 for being able to readHe's asking if its an LED or a laser diode. Like Billiam said the red light you see is just an LED but there is a very weak IR diode as well.
I'm well aware of what he meant. I'm pointing out "diode" is a vague term.
when people say diode on here it refers to a laser diode.
How about a rectifier diode?
Or maybe it's a signal diode?
Or a light emitting diode?
Or perhaps a photodiode?
Or a schottky diode?
Tunnel diode?
Or how about your plain ol zener diode?
Orrrrr, maybe it's a laser diode?
Take your pick
