emissive
Giving off energy
Emissive describes something that emits or radiates, typically light or energy.
The term appears most often in technical contexts: an emissive display produces its own light rather than reflecting it, and emissive surfaces in physics radiate energy at a particular rate.
The emissive properties of the material made it ideal for the application.
