Luminous objects give off light whereas illuminated objects relfect light, and thus appear to produce light. For example: A lightbulb is luminous because it gives off light whereas the moon is illuminated because it reflects the light of the sun.
A luminous object shines with its own light; it produces its own light, like the sun. An illuminated object is lit by some outside source, like a light bulb or something lit up because your car's headlights fall on it at night, such as your garage door.

No, a cellphone is not a luminous object. Luminous objects emit their own light, such as the sun or a light bulb. Instead, a cellphone contains a screen that produces light when it is powered on, but it does not generate light on its own when turned off. Therefore, it is considered a non-luminous object.
