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 its hold on other fields such as digital communications, horticulture, medical fields, space research, art and culture, display devices, entertainment, etc. The technological promises offered by LEDs have elevated it as a front-runner in the lighting industry. This book will explore the journey of LEDs for readers belonging to scientific community. This book reviews the general understanding of the luminescence process and the background of solid state lighting. It includes special emphasis on the phosphor-converted LEDs that are based on inorganic phosphors. It also explores the different types of LEDs that are based on inorganic, organic, quantum dots, perovskite-structured materials and biomaterials. A detailed description has been included about the diverse applications of LEDs in fields such as lighting, displays, horticulture, biomedical and digital communication. Considerable importance has been given to discussion of the challenges that must be solved before using LEDs in commercial applications.Presents concise overview of different types of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on inorganic phosphors, organic materials, quantum dots, perovskite-structured materials, and biomaterialsIncludes a discussion of current and emerging applications in lighting, communications, horticulture and medical fieldsAddresses fundamentals, luminescence mechanisms and key optical materials (including synthesis methods)

Prof. Sanjay J. Dhoble is presently working as a professor in the Department of Physics at R.T.M. Nagpur University, Nagpur, India. During his research career, he has worked on the synthesis and characterization of solid-state lighting materials, as well as the development of radiation dosimetry phosphors using thermoluminescence techniques and utilization of fly ash. Dr. Dhoble has filed 16 patents and more than 552 research papers. He also authored numerous books such as 'Principles and applications of organic light emitting diode”, 'Nanomaterials for Green Energy”, 'Spectroscopy of Lanthanide Doped Oxide Materials 'Phosphate phosphors for solid state lighting”; 'Phosphors for energy saving and conversion technology”; and'Phosphors: Synthesis and Applications”. Dr. Dhoble is an Editor of the journal Luminescence.
