Which mechanism limits LED efficiency during high current operation?

💡 Explanation

Increased carrier density causes Auger recombination in semiconductors; energy is dissipated as heat, rather than light, because the excess energy transfers to another electron that then loses it thermally; therefore efficiency reduces, rather than series resistance heating.
