What kind of $p-n$ junction diode does not require any kind of bias?

The figure shows $2$ $LEDs$ that can be used as a polarity detector. Applying a positive source voltage results in a green light,while negative supplies result in a red light. Packages of such combinations are commercially available. Find the resistor $R$ to ensure a current of $20 \ mA$ through the $ON$ diode for the configuration. Both diodes have a reverse breakdown voltage of $3 \ V$ and an average turn-on voltage of $2 \ V$. The source voltage is $8 \ V$. Find $R$ in $\Omega$.
