Unlike the other diodes, the light-emitting diode, also called LED, is a particular type that emits light. LED has an entirely different body, which is made of transparent plastic that protects the diode and lets it emit light (figure {{ref> | Unlike the other diodes, the light-emitting diode, also called LED, is a particular type that emits light.

In this approach, capsules in a single sphere are multicoloured rather than black-white. Microcapsules of different colours have slightly different charging, so a variating external electric field applied to the single sphere controls the colour of the capsules on the top of the sphere that is visible to the user. A single sphere can then present a wide range of colours. This kind of display uses subtractive colour mixing (CMY/CMYK). A principle of operation is present in figure {{ref> | In this approach, capsules in a single sphere are multicoloured rather than black-white.

This approach is theoretical as manufacturing such devices is inefficient because of the need to compose a matrix of spheres with different colours of microcapsules nearby. A domain of such spheres composes a single pixel.
