The Kingbright KPD-3224CGCK is a bi-color LED consisting of a green and a yellow-green LED within a single package. This allows for the creation of two-state indicators, or by controlling the current to each die, a range of colors can be achieved. It is designed for surface mounting which makes it suitable for automated assembly.
