Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Comparing with other display technologies with incoherent illumination light sources, laser displays have attracted much attentions because they can provide wider color gamut, higher brightness, long-life operation and less power consumption. Laser displays have made substantial progress in recent years with the development of high-power and low-cost red/green/blue laser diodes. Nowadays, laser-based displays are heavily used in digital cinemas, home theaters, and virtual realities and augmented realities displays. To this end, we would like to invite reviews and original contributions to the Topical Collection “Recent Advances in Laser Displays”. Example topics include but not limited to: advanced laser technologies for display applications, laser phosphors; microdisplays, methods for optical field homogenization, speckle reduction, projection screen, optical design of projection and illumination optics, to name a few.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.

A brightness-perceived color appearance model tailored for large gamut display devices, exemplified by laser displays, was investigated. Psychophysical experiments on the brightness matching of 30 color stimuli with achromatic white light were conducted by 16 observers. The analysis compares the performance of a number of existing color appearance models and equivalent luminance models in predicting brightness. None of the models performed acceptably due to a severe underestimation of the Helmholtz–Kohlrausch (H-K) effect. A modified model of perceived brightness based on CAM16, taking into account the H-K effect, is proposed. Evaluated by psychophysical experiments, the proposed model exhibits a superior performance compared to the preceding models, especially within the extensive color gamut range stipulated by BT.2020. The results help to optimize the design of laser displays with a wide color gamut and high perceived brightness. Full article

The integration of trivalent europium ion (Eu3+)-doped zinc molybdate (ZnMoO4) as red phosphors in next-generation solid-state lighting (SSL) is impeded by their extended electron lifetime and suboptimal thermal stability. To overcome these limitations, we propose a co-doping approach by incorporating Mn2+ and Eu3+ in ZnMoO4, aiming to improve thermal reversibility and reduce the lifetime of electron transitions. A series of Eu3+-doped ZnMoO4 and Mn2+/Eu3+-co-doped ZnMoO4 phosphor materials were synthesized via the conventional sol–gel method, and their photoluminescence properties were compared under high-temperature conditions. Experimental results indicate that the introduction of Mn2+ into Eu3+-doped ZnMoO4 leads to a decrease in quantum efficiency and electron lifetime, primarily attributed to defects within the crystal lattice and energy transfer from Eu3+ to Mn2+, resulting in enhanced non-radiative transitions. However, the addition of a small quantity of Mn2+ remarkably improves the thermal stability and reversibility of the phosphors. Consequently, this co-doping strategy presents a promising avenue for expanding the application possibilities of phosphor materials, particularly for high-power SSL applications subjected to elevated temperatures. Hence, Eu3+-only doped samples are well-suited for lighting applications due to their high IQE and excellent thermal stability. Conversely, Eu3+/Mn2+-co-doped samples show promise in applications that require a shorter electron lifetime and good reversibility. Full article
