ABSTRACT

White light-emitting diodes (W-LEDs) are widely used in displays and lighting due to their advantages of compact size, high efficiency, and long lifespan compared to traditional light sources. Glass-ceramics produced by inducing crystallization in amorphous glass through heating, finds applications in various high-performance fields. Its properties can be tailored through the addition of nucleating agents or phase separation phenomena. By forming nanometer-sized crystals, glass-ceramics can retain its characteristics while maintaining transparency in the visible range, making it suitable for a range of applications including optical switches, optical converters, lasers, medical devices, and sensors. Additionally, glass- ceramics containing rare earth elements, transition metals, quantum dots, and nanocrystals can convert blue or ultraviolet light into visible light, thereby enhancing the performance of W-LEDs. This paper explores the optical properties of glass- ceramics derived from oxide and fluoride glasses, its potential applications in W-LEDs, and recent research trends.
