Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Why do some LED designs run cool, bright, and reliable for decades-while others fail, flicker, or fall short of their promised efficiency?The answer lies in a chain of physics, materials, and engineering decisions that most resources treat as separate worlds. This handbook connects them all.Light-Emitting Diodes Handbook takes you from the quantum mechanics of semiconductor recombination to the practical realities of driver circuits, thermal management, and system-level design-in one continuous, rigorously quantitative journey. No black boxes. No hand-waving. Every result is derived, every claim is checked against real device physics, and every chapter builds directly on the last.Inside, you'll master: - Why LEDs suffer efficiency droop at high current-and how to design around it- The physics behind the "green gap" that has haunted LED engineers for decades- How to predict lumen maintenance and failure rates before a product ever ships- Phosphor conversion, color mixing, and the real tradeoffs behind white light- Thermal networks, junction temperature, and the math that determines lifetime- Driver topologies, dimming methods, and the electronics that keep LEDs alive- Real system design: lighting, displays, automotive, horticultural, and sensing applicationsWith 227 fully worked examples, 279 derived equations, and 16 chapters spanning chip physics to finished product, this is the reference engineers return to when a design produces a number that doesn't add up-and the cause must be traced back through the entire chain from electron to lumen.Whether you're an engineering student building foundational knowledge or a practicing professional solving real design problems, this handbook gives you the complete picture competitors leave in fragments.Stop piecing together partial answers.
