Handbook of Solid-State Lighting and LEDs

This handbook addresses the development of energy-efficient, environmentally friendly solid-state light sources, in particular gallium nitride (GaN)-based and related wide bandgap semiconductor light emitting diodes (LEDs) and other solid-state lighting (SSL) devices. It reflects the vast growth of this field and impacts in diverse industries, from lighting to communications, biotechnology, imaging, and medicine. The chapters cover fundamentals, LED technologies for lighting, and deep ultraviolet and other types such as organic LEDs, zinc oxide-based LEDs, and nanostructural LEDs.
