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.
