<p>This article of review focused on the luminescence properties, such as excitation-emission, decay time and CIE chromatograph coordinates of borate, phosphate, germanate tellurite, boro-silicate, boro-phosphate, and boro-tellurite glass systems for w-LED applications. Typically, researchers focus Dy³⁺ ions doped glass systems on w-LED as a result of their excellent blue (482&#xa0;nm: ⁴F₉ → ⁶H_15/2), yellow (574&#xa0;nm: ⁴F₉ → ⁶H_13/2), and a weak red (662&#xa0;nm: ⁴F₉ → ⁶H_11/2) component transitions that combine to generate white emission. The weak red emission band of Dy³⁺ is compensated by the dual- and tri-doped various RE³⁺ ions (Sm³⁺, Eu³⁺, Er³⁺), which use their own emission transitions to increase the intensity of white emission. The quantum efficiency (η) and energy transfer are maximized at a concentration of 0.5&#xa0;mol% Dy³⁺ ions across all glass system, subsequently decreasing at higher concentrations. Aside from co-doped rare earths with Dy³⁺ ions in glass systems, a few combinations with their unique emission properties, such as Ce³⁺-Sm³⁺, Ce³⁺-Tb³⁺, Eu³⁺-Tb³⁺, Ce³⁺-Tb³⁺-Eu³⁺, Ce³⁺-Tb³⁺-Sm³⁺, Yb³⁺-Er³⁺-Tm³⁺, Yb³⁺- Ho³⁺-Tm³⁺, and Sm³⁺-Er³⁺-Tm³⁺, can attain white emission. In addition, this study investigate the influence of alkali (Li₂O, Na₂O and K₂O), alkaline (BaO, CaO, MgO, and SrO), and transition metal oxide ions (Ti²⁺, Zn²⁺, Mn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ and W) on the structural and luminescence characteristics of glasses towards w-LED applications.</p>
