quantum mechanics - How do electrons exit LEDs? Aren't they in the valence energy state?


If a conducting electron reduces to the valence band in an LED, where does it get the energy to go back to the conductance band upon leaving the diode so current can flow? I'm confused as to how current can flow completely through an LED if all electrons are reduced to the valence electron state, meaning they are not conducting electricity. Do the electrons return back to the conductance band energy state?
