Electroluminescence

  • Chapter
Luminescence of Solids

Abstract

In contrast to earlier definitions it is understood nowadays that electroluminescence (EL) is the direct, nonthermal generation of light resulting from the application of an electric field to a material. The word “nonthermal” implies that incandescence is excluded. Also the luminescence owing to gas discharges, which was considered part of EL at the beginning of this century in the relevant chapters in some books, is no longer included within this definition. Today, the defining feature of EL is that the source of energy is the electric field and the conversion of electric energy into light is unlike that in cathodoluminescence (CL), where there is a multistage process with acceleration of electrons in a vacuum and the generation of secondary electrons.
