As nouns the difference between triode and phototransistor
is that triode is a thermionic valve containing an anode, a cathode, and a control grid; small changes to the charge on the grid control the flow from cathode to anode which makes amplification possible while phototransistor is any semiconductor device whose electrical characteristics are light-sensitive.
