Abstract

This chapter gives the reader an insight into the phenomenon of luminescence, the emission kinetics, its intrinsic and extrinsic variations, features of sensitized luminescence, and self-quenching. The merits of photoluminescence as an optical analytical tool are discussed. The industrial display scenario is laid down, with special mention on thin-film electroluminescent displays and its unique features. The shift in the research focus from sulfide-based phosphors to oxide-based light emitters is briefly outlined. Various binary and ternary oxide-based phosphor system matrices are presented in detail. The chapter concludes by highlighting the significant achievements made in related works carried at our laboratory.
