Solid-State Lighting Will Shine at Display Week

Solid-State Lighting for Refrigerated Display Cases

The intent of this paper is to initiate a discussion within the community interested in commercial refrigerators, on the possible use of LED lighting in commercial refrigerated and freezer display cases. The fluorescent lighting presently used in commercial refrigerators is inefficient in the application and also it provides poor lighting for merchandising. LED is a solid-state light source tha...

Hybrid Solid-State Lighting Design

The transition from incandescent lighting to more energyefficient options is projected as a major opportunity for solid-state lighting (SSL.) The current prevailing technology for white-light SSL uses a nitride semiconductor blue LED combined with a downconverting YAG:Ce yellow phosphor. The residential use of LED lights presents challenges beyond efficiency, because of very-high color-renderin...

Materials for Solid State Lighting

Dramatic improvement in the efficiency of inorganic and organic light emitting diodes (LEDs and OLEDs) within the last decade has made these devices viable future energy efficient replacements for current light sources. However, both technologies must overcome major technical barriers, requiring significant advances in material science, before this goal can be achieved. Attention will be given ...

Basic Research Needs for Solid - State Lighting

Solid-state lighting: an energy-economics perspective

Artificial light has long been a significant factor contributing to the quality and productivity of human life. As a consequence, we are willing to use huge amounts of energy to produce it. Solid-state lighting (SSL) is an emerging technology that promises performance features and efficiencies well beyond those of traditional artificial lighting, accompanied by potentially massive shifts in (a)...
