I changed the use of "LDR" since the article has changed name. I also singularized all uses of "photoresistor". Before, the plural and singular use was heavily mixed.

The previous author used italics to emphasize the dichotemy between intrinsic and extrinsic devices. At first read, the reason for the italics is unclear, so I simply added an introductory sentence to that paragraph to make it clear that it was about to discuss the difference between those two types. In which case the italics aren't needed. - ElusiveByte 00:38, Sep 22, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] symbol in circuit

Hi, would anyone who knows this subject add a picture of its symbol in a circuit scheme?

Added picture of symbol alone, thought this was sufficient. Only a paint drawing done by myself, if anyone feels they can do better, be my guest. This is a symbol used in the UK as mentioned in the article, I have no idea about other countries, maybe someone who does can add further images. Wheatleya 22:44, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Circuit symbol

I've just noticed that Frozenport changed the circuit symbol of a LDR to Image:15580.gif. I have never seen this symbol in use, at least in the UK, and so I am going to change it back to my original. However, if is aware that the other symbol is used in other parts of the world, they are welcome to reinsert it. A quick Google of "ldr symbol" suggests that rectangular form is certainly more abundant.

Usual IEEE Symbol has a cirle around the rectangle with the arrows pointing to that. Tswsl1989 07:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
