Résumé

A thorough reference that sheds light on the promising field of solid-state lighting
Solid-state lighting is a rapidly emerging field. Light Emitting Diodes are already used in traffic signals, signage/contour lighting, large area displays, and automotive applications. But its greatest future lies in the possibility of applying solid-state lamps to general lighting. Solid-state lighting promises to reduce energy consumption as much as fifty percent, cut down on carbon-dioxide emission, and even spur the development of a completely new lighting industry.
Giving this important emerging field the attention it deserves, Introduction to Solid-State Lighting comprehensively covers:

The history of lighting
The characterization of visible light
Conventional light sources
LED basics
Extraction of light from high-brightness LEDs
White LED
Applications of solid-state lamps

Contents

1. Historical Introduction
2. Vision, Photometry and Colorimetry
3. Bulbs and Tubes
4. Basics of All-Solid-State Lemps
5. Light Extraction From Leds
6. White Led
7. Applications of Solid-State Lighting
