In fact, LEDs light up almost all cell phones screens. The technology's myriad applications and low energy use have made it nearly impossible to get through daily chores without coming in contact with LEDs. Probable advances include increased ability of the technology to support more efficient lighting and enhanced communications. With balanced coverage of the basics and future developments, \u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction to Light\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEmitting Diode Technology and Applications\u003c\/strong\u003e takes you on a tour of the LED evolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book begins with a brief history of the effort to enable the device that generates light through modern organic LEDs and reviews the fundamentals and principles of light prior to a detailed explanation of how LEDs generate different colors. After forming this basic foundation, the book examines the key LEDs in lighting and communications. It then discusses the latest opportunities and advancements in high brightness (HB) LED technology, solid state lighting, and handheld electronic applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs we approach a new decade the role of LEDs is literally set to explode, with organic light emitting diodes emerging as a leading next generation technology for electronic displays and lighting. Challenges still exist, including light extraction, luminosity, and white light generation, not to mention non-technical obstacles such as IP disputes and the lack of standards. This book provides a foundation for resolving these issues and developing new applications for LEDs in the promising general illumination market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gilbert Held\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1420076620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781420076622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Auerbach Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2009 pg. 160","brand":"Gilbert Held","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088203034879,"sku":"9781420076622","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7c99cd5-ecc9-46c0-83dd-2dce1b6c452f.jpg?v=1769103629","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-light-emitting-diode-gilbert-held-9781420076622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
