Abstract

Humanity is constantly confronted with many lighting systems in daily life, from public transportation to automobiles, as well as inside our homes. The illuminating devices gradually upgraded from their old versions, which are incandescent lamps, to fluorescent lamps and ultimately to contemporary light-emitting diodes. Currently, by visualizing the inside and outside, it is observed that phosphor materials have revolutionized the modern world in every aspect one can think of. In addition to saving energy, they are also non-toxic, eco-friendly, cost-effective, and size compatible. While developing these new phosphor materials and reviewing new breakthroughs for the generation of white light, it is necessary to ensure several optical properties, such as quantum efficiency, thermal stability, short-emission decay time, and stability. In addition, focus should be placed on the synthesis methods as well as the manufacturing cost. This new technology is on the verge of supplanting all previous generations of lighting sources. Although most rear earth ions are being used in phosphor materials, this book chapter will illuminate the role of other elements, especially transition metals, in these devices. Different parameters that govern the characteristic luminescence features are discussed in this chapter. Finally, an appropriate conclusion is reached that includes some aspects of future perspectives.
