Report Scope
A phosphor is defined as a substance that emits light, or luminesces, when exposed to radiation such as ultraviolet light, or an electron beam. Different phosphors have different characteristic colors of emission and period of time during which light is emitted after excitation ceases. Phosphors are a key material in the manufacture of white LEDs, and white LEDs are usually a combination of a blue light-emitting indium gallium nitride (InGaN) die and a phosphor that takes some of the blue light and converts it into a broad-spectrum peaking at yellow or amber. The combination of blue light and yellow light looks white to humans. Phosphors are important in LED technology as phosphor chemistry and composition largely determine an LED’s efficiency, light quality and stability.
The scope of this report covers various types (technologies) of LED phosphors present in the market. The market is broken down by major types, technologies, region and applications. Revenue forecasts from 2017 to 2022 are given for each LED phosphor segment and regional market with estimated values derived from manufacturers’ total revenues.
