Electroluminescent

1. Overview

Electroluminescence (EL) is a phenomenon where materials emit light in response to an electric current or strong electric field. This technology forms the basis for various modern optoelectronic devices, combining electrical and optical functionalities. Its significance lies in enabling efficient solid-state lighting, flexible displays, and advanced sensing systems, revolutionizing industries from consumer electronics to biomedical engineering.

2. Main Types and Functional Classification

Type	Functional Characteristics	Application Examples
Organic EL (OLED)	Self-emissive, high contrast ratio, flexible substrates	Smartphone displays, VR headsets
Inorganic EL (LED)	High brightness, long lifetime, narrow emission spectrum	Backlighting, automotive lighting
Quantum Dot EL (QLED)	Tunable emission wavelength, high color purity	TV panels, medical imaging
Electroluminescent Wires	Linear light sources, flexible and thin profile	Wearable electronics, signage

3. Structure and Composition

A typical EL device consists of multiple layers: transparent anode (ITO glass), hole transport layer (HTL), emissive layer (organic/inorganic phosphors), electron transport layer (ETL), and metallic cathode. Advanced designs incorporate microcavity structures for enhanced light extraction and flexible barrier films for mechanical durability. Quantum dot variants use nanocrystal dispersions in polymer matrices.

4. Key Technical Specifications
