Nitride Phosphors and Solid-State Lighting

Drawing on the authors’ extensive experimental work, this book provides an in-depth introduction to the crystal chemistry, synthesis, luminescence, and applications of phosphor materials for solid-state lighting, mainly focusing on new nitride phosphors. It collects the latest data and trends on LED phosphors and discusses the use of new white LED lamps for general illumination and LCD backlighting. Covering novel luminescent materials, the book brings readers up to date on the evolving field of solid-state lighting.
