Specialty Definition: ELECTROLUMINESCENCE

DomainDefinition
AerospaceEmission of light caused by an application of electric fields to solids or gases. In gas electroluminescence, light is emitted when the kinetic energy of electron or ions accelerated in an electric field is transferred to the atoms or molecules of the gas in which the discharge takes place. (references)
BusinessNonthermal conversion of electrical energy into light. Note 1: Electroluminescence is distinguished from incandescence, which is a thermal process. Note 2: One example of electroluminescence is the photon emission resulting from electron-hole recombination in a pn junction, as in a light-emitting diode (LED). (references)
