The Fundamentals and Applications of Light-Emitting Diodes: The Revolution in the Lighting Industry examines the evolution of LEDs, including a review of the luminescence process and background on solid state lighting. The book emphasizes phosphor-converted LEDs that are based on inorganic phosphors but explores different types of LEDs based on inorganic, organic, quantum dots, perovskite-structured materials, and biomaterials. A detailed description is included about the diverse applications of LEDs in fields such as lighting, displays, horticulture, biomedicine, and digital communication, as well as challenges that must be solved before using LEDs in commercial applications.

Traditional light sources are fast being replaced by light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The fourth generation of lighting is completely dominated by LED luminaires. Apart from lighting, LEDs have extended their hold on other fields, such as digital communications, horticulture, medicine, space research, art and culture, display devices, and entertainment. The technological promises offered by LEDs have elevated them as front-runners in the lighting industry.

Dr. Govind B. Nair obtained his Masters degree in Physics from the R.T.M. Nagpur University, Nagpur, India. He received two gold medals for securing first rank in his Masters degree. He pursued his PhD from R.T.M. Nagpur University under the guidance of Prof. S. J. Dhoble. He is currently a Post-Doctoral researcher at the University of Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa. He was awarded with an INSPIRE Fellowship, which is a prestigious fellowship programme conducted by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), India. His area of research includes the synthesis and characterization of optical materials, theoretical analysis of luminescence processes, structural analysis of materials, etc. Sanjay J. Dhoble is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, India. During his research career he has worked on the synthesis and characterization of solid-state lighting materials and phosphors for solar cell efficiency enhancement, as well as the development of radiation dosimetry phosphors, and the biosynthesis of nanoparticles and their applications.

Reviews for The Fundamentals and Applications of Light-Emitting Diodes: The Revolution in the Lighting Industry

LED lamps are quickly replacing conventional lighting and are also enabling many new applications such as vertical indoor agriculture, medical uses for skin therapy, display technologies, digital communication, and entertainment. This book examine many new lighting applications enabled by LED technology along with details on LED fabrication, LED design and construction, spectral properties, and an introduction to luminance and color rendering. While mainly intended for engineers and those with a technical background, anyone wanting to learn more about the applications of LEDs in the lighting industry and the limitations for LEDs would find this book interesting. There are also an extensive number of references in each chapter for more in-depth study. --IEEE
