I think it is fair to say that it creates them. In your LED, an electron loses energy and a photon or two appear which weren't there before as real (in the technical sense) particles. If you want to argue that the photons were already there as virtual particles in the electrical potential, you can do that and call it a release, but then you abolish the notion of particle creation entirely.
