Short description
Luminescent Materials and Applications presents the materials science and solid-state physics underlying both organic and inorganic luminescent materials, as well as the application of said materials to commercial devices such as organic and inorganic light emitters for flat panel and flexible displays such as plasma displays, LCD displays, and OLED displays. Additional chapters review developments in high brightness light emitting diode materials and structures based on wide bandgap UV, blue and green emitting nitride semiconductors (Ga,Al,InN) as well as high brightness red, orange, amber (Ga,Al,InP) semiconductors.
