Thin film electroluminescence

  • Chapter
Solid State Luminescence

Abstract

As easily imaginable, phosphorescence or afterglow was the first observation of luminescence. People used to observe light from objects in nature as some kind of re-emission or reflection in daylight or from incandescent or high temperature sources, emitting thermal radiation. A cold object emitting in the dark was completely different from this usual experience and of course found great attention as early as 1603, when Vincenzo Cascariolo detected the Bologna stones [1].
