This part of photonics is focused on the revolution that we are witnessing in the lighting field moving from a light bulb discovered in the nineteenth century to the solid-state lighting (Solid State Lighting), ie, LEDs.

Due to its characteristics of low power loss and long product life cycle, LEDs are expected to offer a real alternative to the traditional alternative forms of lighting: incandescent and fluorescent. The advantages are efficiency, light quality and the elimination of mercury which is present in the fluorescent lighting.

Placing multiple LEDs in a light fixture can also generate new possibilities, such as intelligent color control to compensate changes in daylight. Other developments include the potential to cover surfaces with organic LEDs (OLEDs) to be used as lighting surfaces that allows new ways to illuminate than traditional lighting bulb.

It is important to note that the links between screens and advanced lighting are strong and this connection will grow in the future due to the development of light sources (O) LED LCDs.
