A comprehensive and practical reference complete with hands-on exercises and experimental data

In From LED to Solid State Lighting: Principles, Materials, Packaging, Characterization, and Applications, accomplished mechanical engineers Shi-Wei Ricky Lee, Jeffery C. C. Lo, Mian Tao, and Huaiyu Ye deliver a practical overview of the design and construction of LED lighting modules, from the fabrication of the LED chip to the LED modules incorporated in complete LED lighting fixtures. The distinguished authors discuss the major advantages of solid-state lighting, including energy savings, environmental friendliness, and lengthy operational life, as well as the contributions offered by the packaging of light-emitting diodes in the pursuit of these features.

Readers will discover presentations of the technical issues that arise in packaging LED components, like interconnection, phosphor deposition, and encapsulation. They’ll also find insightful elaborations on optical design, analysis, and characterization. Discussions of LED applications, technology roadmaps, and IP issues round out the included material.

This important book also includes:

• Thorough introductions to lighting, photometry, and colorimetry, the fundamentals of light-emitting diodes, and the fabrication of LED wafers and chips
• Practical discussions of the packaging of LED chips, wafer-level packaging of LED arrays, and optical and electrical characterization
• Comprehensive explorations of board-level assembly and LED modules and optical and electrical characterization
• In-depth examinations of thermal management, reliability engineering for LED packaging, and applications for general lighting

Perfect for post-graduate students and practicing engineers studying or working in the field of LED manufacturing for solid state lighting applications, From LED to Solid State Lighting: Principles, Materials, Packaging, Characterization, and Applications is also an indispensable resource for managers and technicians seeking a one-stop guide to the subject.
