In this paper, the design strategy of trivalent lanthanide (Ln(III)) complexes for effective photo-, electric-, and tribo-sensitized luminescence are reviewed. Ln(III) complexes with well-designed organic molecules are expected to open up a frontier field of chemistry, physics, electronics and material science.
