Abstract:
The development of novel narrow-band emitting phosphors with high efficiency and stability is of great significance for WLED backlights. In recent years, the research on Bi3+-activated narrow-band emitting phosphors has gained significant attention for developing novel phosphors for WLED backlight applications. This Frontiers article presents recent advances in Bi3+-activated narrow-band emitting phosphors, encompassing their coordination environment and photoluminescence properties. The latest advancements in Bi3+-activated narrow-band emitting phosphors are categorized into four types based on host materials: germanate, silicate, borate, and other hosts. Additionally, detailed discussions are provided on the challenges associated with developing novel Bi3+-activated narrow-band emitting phosphors and potential research directions for future work. Overall, the Bi3+-activated narrow-band emitting phosphors have demonstrated great potential for WLED backlights; however, significant efforts are still required to enhance their comprehensive performance in order to meet practical application requirements.

Photoluminescence: Applications
Biasing of P-N Junction
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...
