Introducing the Bi-Color LED
The bi-color LED’s schematic symbol and part drawing are shown in Figure 2-16.
The bi-color LED is really just two LEDs in one package. Figure 2-17 shows how you
can apply voltage in one direction and the LED will glow red. By disconnecting the LED
and plugging it back in reversed, the LED will then glow green. As with the other LEDs,
if you connect both terminals of the circuit to Vss, the LED will not emit light.
