Aims & Scope
Aims
The journal Lighting Materials and Devices is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing cutting-edge research at the intersection of advanced materials science and next-generation lighting technologies. The journal aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform that bridges the gap between fundamental material development, device engineering, and system-level innovations.
By focusing on optoelectronic materials, device architectures, emerging lighting applications, the journal seeks to foster breakthroughs that enhance energy efficiency, human-centric illumination, high-resolution displays and intelligent optoelectronic integration. Special emphasis is placed on innovations that address global needs in sustainability, healthcare, and next-generation display and sensing systems. It is published quarterly online by Scilight Press.
