Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are no longer confined to use incommercial signage and have now moved firmly, and with unquestionedadvantages, into the field of commercial and domestic lighting.This development was prompted in the late 1980s by the invention ofthe blue LED, a wavelength that had previously been missing fromthe available LED spectrum and which opened the way to providingwhite light. Since that point, LED performance (including energyefficiency) has improved dramatically, and now compares with theperformance of fluorescent lights - and there remain furtherperformance improvements yet to be delivered.
The book begins with the principles of LED lighting, thenfocuses on issues and challenges. Chapters are devoted to key stepsin LED manufacturing: substrate, epitaxy, process and packaging.Photoelectric characterization of LEDs, Lighting with LEDs and theimposition of a certain level of color quality, are the subject oflater chapters, and finally there is a detailed discussion of theemergence of OLEDs, or organic LEDs, which have specificcapabilities of immediate interest and importance in thisfield.
