Because an irradiation of 405 nm violet light could have a strong energy, it was used to be sterilized against various microbes in the indoor air condition or fresh food. Escherichia coli is a representative bio-pollutant in the indoor air-borne bacteria, and a hygienic microbe in the horticultural food. This study evaluated the inactivation influences on E. coli DS5α after exposure to 405 nm violet-light (VL) by investigating irradiating time, and the vertical and horizonal distance from light source. The illumination of 405 nm VL was inversely proportional to the distance from the VL source. E. coli DS5α on nutrient agar (NA) was inactivated approximately 50% more than the control when irradiated at 65 cm from 405 nm VL for 3 hours. When compared to the control, E. coli DS5α was inactivated approximately 50% within 70 cm from 405 nm VL for 3 hours. As it was irradiated for 3 hours 70 cm away from 405 nm VL, the horizonal distance from the point was negatively correlated to the inactivation of E. coli DS5α. These results indicated that the inactivation of E. coli DS5α grown on NA medium needs to be irradiated with 405 nm within 70 cm from the light source for 3 hours.

신선농산물의 저장성을 향상시키기 위해 저장용기에 장착된 자외선영역의 LED는 저온 냉장시스템에서 지속적 조사처리 또는 간헐적 조사 처리 방식으로 활용되며 비교적 저렴한 가격으로 이용 가능하다. 저장용기에 자외선영역의 280 nm, 365 nm, 405 nm LED를 각각 장착하고 대표적 신선편이식품의 하나로서 절단당근을 선택하여 $10^{\circ}C$ 온도에 저장하면서 LED 조사 처리 조건에 따른 품질변화를 살펴보았다. 저장용기의 뚜껑 안쪽 부분에 장착된 자외선 LED는 절단당근의 표면으로부터 2 cm 높이에서 조사되도록 하였으며, 하루에 30분 간격으로 on/off를 2회 반복하여 조사하였다. 공기조건에서 절단당근에 Escherichia coli 균주를 접종한 경우와 자연적 미생물 오염도를 측정해 본 결과, 280 nm 자외선 LED 조사 처리를 한 경우 다른 파장(365 nm, 405 nm)의 조사 처리구보다 더 큰 미생물 성장 억제능력을 보여 가장 효과적이었다. 공기 조건에서 절단당근의 카로티노이드 함량은 365 nm와 405 nm에서 대조구에 비해 높은 함량을 보였다. MA 조건에서는 대조구를 포함한 모든 처리구에서 산소농도 1.2~4.3%, 이산화탄소 농도 8.4~10.6%의 가스농도로 유지하여 LED 처리에 따른 내부기체조성의 차이는 나타나지 않았지만, 280 nm 자외선 LED 조사 처리가 가장 큰 미생물 성장 억제를 보였다. 카로티노이드 함량은 LED 조사 효과보다 MA 포장 효과에 의해 카로티노이드 보존이 지배적으로 작용한 것으로 보여 처리구 간의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. MA 조건에서 DPPH 라디칼에 대한 소거활성은 365 nm와 405 nm에서 약간 높게 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 자외선 LED를 이용하여 신선농산물 포장의 적용가능성을 확인하였으며, 저장용기에 자외선 LED를 장착함으로써 수확 후 수송, 판매, 저장 단계에서 신선농산물을 더욱 신선하게 유지시킬 것으로 기대된다.

The luminescent properties of $Eu^{3+}$ and $Sm^{3+}$ doped potassium tungstate phosphor were investigated. The $K_{4-3x}(WO_4)_2:Eu_x$, $Sm_y$ phosphor was produced by firing the mixed precursors, followed by re-firing with a flux. The re-firing process provided the clean surface to the particles. The excitation spectra showed that the strong absorption in the region of ultra violet light occurred due to the high europium doping concentration. The incorporation of europium to potassium tungstate was easier, compared to other host materials. The excitation spectra could be controlled by the small addition of samarium. The increase of energy absorption around 405nm was assigned to the $Sm^{3+}$ ions. The comparison between real x-ray diffraction and simulated one revealed that the crystal structure of $K_{4-3x}(WO_4)_2:Eu_x,Sm_y$ phosphor is monoclinic with a space group, C2/c.

Since a pattern defects "repair" system using a diode pumped solid state laser for Flat Panel Display (FPD) was suggested, a lot of laser systems have been explored and developed for mass-production microfabrication process. A maskless lithography system using 405 nm violet laser and Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) has been developed for PDP and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Thin Film Transistor (TFT) photolithography process. In addition, a "Laser Direct Patterning" system for Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) for Plasma Display Panel(PDP) has been evaluated one of the best successful examples for laser application system which is applied for mass-production lines. The "heat" and "solvent" free laser microfabrications process will be widely used because the next-generation flat panel displays, Flexible Display and Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) should use plastic substrates and organic materials which are very difficult to process using traditional fabrication methods.

The luminescent properties of $Eu^{3+}$ and $Sm^{3+}$ doped potassium tungstate phosphor are investigated. The $K_{4-3x}(WO_4)_2:Eu^{3+}\;_x,Sm^{3+}\;_y$ phosphor is produced by firing the mixed precursors, followed by re-firing with a flux. The re-firing process results in the defect-free surface and uniform growth of the particles. The strong absorption in the region of ultra violet light is observed due to the 4f-4f electron transitions of the $Eu^{3+}$ and $Sm^{3+}$ ions. The doping concentration of europium into potassium tungstate is relatively high, compared to other host materials. It is revealed that the crystal structure is a monoclinic with space group, C2/c. This crystal structure facilitated the $Eu^{3+}$ ions to be located with the Eu-Eu distance larger than 5 ${\AA}$ so that concentration quenching does not occur even at high doping concentration. The excitation spectrum could be adjusted by the introduction of the samarium. A small amount of the $Sm^{3+}$ ions that acts as a sensitizer increases the energy absorption peak around 405 nm.

Objectives: Dental plaque emits red fluorescence under a visible blue light near the ultra-violet end of the light spectrum. The fluorescence characteristics of each microorganism have been reported in several studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in red fluorescence of oral microorganisms that is affected by blood in the culture media. Methods: The gram-positive Actinomyces naeslundii (AN, KCTC 5525) and Lactobacillus casei (LC, KCTC 3109) and gram negative Prevotella intermedia (PI, KCTC 3692) that are known to emit red fluorescence were used in this study. Each bacterium was activated in broth and cultivated in different agar media at $37^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Tryptic soy agar with hemin and vitamin $K_3$ (TSA), TSA with sheep blood (TSAB), basal medium mucin (BMM) medium, and BMM with sheep blood (BMMB) were used in this study. Fluorescence due to bacterial growth was observed under 405-nm wavelength blue light using the quantitative light-induced fluorescence-digital (QLF-D) device. The red, green, and blue fluorescence values of colonies were obtained using image-analysis software and the red to green ratio (R/G value) and red to total RGB ratio (R/RGB value) were calculated for quantitative comparison. Results: The QLF-D images of the AN, LC, and PI colonies showed red fluorescence in all media, but the fluorescence of all bacteria was reduced in TSA and BMM media, compared with in TSAB and BMMB media. Both the R/G and the R/RGB values of all bacteria were significantly reduced in growth media without blood (P<0.001). Conclusions: Based on this in vitro study, it can be concluded that red fluorescence of oral bacteria can be affected by growth components, especially blood. Blood-containing medium could be a significant factor influencing red fluorescence of oral bacteria. It can be further hypothesized that bleeding in the oral cavity can increase the red fluorescence of dental plaque.
