Abstract

This article presents an overview of technologies for solid-state lighting (SSL). In recent years, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have developed characteristics desirable for lighting applications. The success of these light sources for general lighting depends on the system design, which comprises an understanding of electrical and photometrical characteristics under the temperature effect on device performance. This review focuses on the main theoretical models for the characterization of SSL devices, regarding the electrical and thermal aspects to reach the desired photometrical characteristic for a lighting system. An approach about inorganic LEDs and organic LEDs (OLEDs) will be presented along with the application of these devices in SSL systems.
