Alternative current electroluminescence

The electroluminescence (EL) process is defined as light generation by an application of an electric field. Two types of EL behavior can be distinguished according to the voltage applied low-field EL, called direct current electroluminescence (DC EL), and high-field EL, called alternating current electroluminescence (AC EL) [19]. 

Electroluminescence—luminous discharge of high frequency brought about by photon emissions. Rectifier— A device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).
