Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/發光二極體 vs 发光二极管
light-emitting diode (LED) · Preferred written form
Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 發光二極體; on the Mainland it is 发光二极管 - both point at “light-emitting diode (LED)”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 發光二極體、發光二極管 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
