Electroluminescence is the phenomenon where a material emits light in response to an electric current or a strong electric field. This process occurs in certain materials, typically semiconductors, which are capable of producing light when they are energized by electricity. In simple terms, when an electric voltage is applied to these materials, electrons within the semiconductor become excited and move to higher energy levels.
