Luminescence, for example, as fluorescence, bioluminescence, and phosphorescence, can result from chemical changes, electrical energy, subatomic motions, reactions in crystals, or stimulation of an atomic system. This subject continues to have a major technological role for humankind in the form of applications such as organic and inorganic light emitters for flat panel and flexible displays such as plasma displays, LCD displays, and OLED displays. Luminescent Materials and Applications describes a wide range of materials and applications that are of current interest including organic light emitting materials and devices, inorganic light emitting diode materials and devices, down-conversion materials, nanomaterials, and powder and thin-film electroluminescent phosphor materials and devices. In addition, both the physics and the materials aspects of the field of solid-state luminescence are presented. Thus, the book may be used as a reference to gain an understanding of various types and mechanisms of luminescence and of the implementation of luminescence into practical devices. The book is aimed at postgraduate students (physicists, electrical engineers, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and engineers) and researchers in industry, for example, at lighting and display companies and academia involved in studying conduction in solids and electronic materials. It will also provide an excellent starting point for all scientists interested in luminescent materials. Finally it is hoped that this book will not only educate, but also stimulate further progress in this rapidly evolving field.

This practical guide familiarizes its readers with techniques for the synthesis of luminophors, explains their luminescence properties and describes numerous applications. It helps chemists to concentrate their efforts on the synthesis of luminophors that are of practical value. The first part of the book compiles major classes of organic luminescent materials, ranging from aromatic hydrocarbons and their substitution products to compounds with an exocyclic C=N group and naphthalic acid derivatives. The second part - applications - reflects modern trends and technological uses. Optical brighteners, organic scintillators, tunable lasers, flaw detection: they all depend on organic luminophors. In addition, their use in analytical chemistry, biology and medicine has expanded considerably, a fact which this book also takes into account.
