Description
Summary:The studies dealing with luminescent materials for semiconductor lighting are surveyed. The luminescent materials are classified in terms of the class of chemical compounds they belong to and in terms of the way they are used in luminescent converters of light from the primary light source. The use of inorganic phosphors, organic luminescent materials and materials based on complex compounds, quantum dots and metal-organic frameworks are considered. Sequential and parallel luminescent converters are defined. The key problems are identified and the possible ways of addressing them are outlined. Particular attention is paid to the problem of photodegradation of luminescent converters. The bibliography includes 101 references.
