In this talk, I will introduce two topics. The first topic is the polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) using graphene oxide quantum dots as emissive center. More specifically, the energy transfer mechanism as well as the origin of white electroluminescence in the PLED were investigated. The second topic is the facile synthesis of eco-friendly III-V colloidal quantum dots and their application to light emitting diodes. Polymer (organic) light emitting diodes (PLEDs) using quantum dots (QDs) as emissive materials have received much attention as promising components for next-generation displays. Despite their outstanding properties, toxic and hazardous nature of QDs is a serious impediment to their use in future eco-friendly opto-electronic device applications. Owing to the desires to develop new types of nanomaterial without health and environmental effects but with strong opto-electrical properties similar to QDs, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have attracted great interest as promising luminophores. However, the origin of electroluminescence (EL) from GQDs incorporated PLEDs is unclear. Herein, we synthesized graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) using a modified hydrothermal deoxidization method and characterized the PLED performance using GOQDs blended poly(N-vinyl carbazole) (PVK) as emissive layer. Simple device structure was used to reveal the origin of EL by excluding the contribution of and contamination from other layers. The energy transfer and interaction between the PVK host and GOQDs guest were investigated using steady-state PL, time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Experiments revealed that white EL emission from the PLED originated from the hybridized GOQD-PVK complex emission with the contributions from the individual GOQDs and PVK emissions. (Sci Rep., 5, 11032, 2015). New III-V colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) were synthesized using the hot-injection method and the QD-light emitting diodes (QLEDs) using these CQDs as emissive layer were demonstrated for the first time. The band gaps of the III-V CQDs were varied by varying the metal fraction and by particle size control. The X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) results show that the crystal states of the III-V CQDs consist of multi-phase states; multi-peak photoluminescence (PL) resulted from these multi-phase states. Inverted structured QLED shows green EL emission and a maximum luminance of ~45 cd/m2. This result shows that III-V CQDs can be a good substitute for conventional cadmium-containing CQDs in various opto-electronic applications, e.g., eco-friendly displays. (Un-published results).

White LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are promising new-generation light sources which can replace conventional lamps due to their high reliability, low energy consumption and eco-friendly effects. This paper briefly reviews recent progress of oxy/nitride host phosphor and quantum dot materials with broad excitation band characteristics for phosphor-converted white LEDs. Among oxy/nitride host materials, $M_2Si_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$, $MAlSiN_3:Eu^{2+}$ M-SiON(M=Ca, Sr, Ba), ${\alpha}/{\beta}-SiAlON:Eu^{2+}$ are excellent phosphors for white LED using blue-emitting chip. They have very broad excitation bands in the range of 440-460 nm and exhibit emission from green to red. In this paper, In this review we focus on recent developments in the crystal structure, luminescence and applications of the oxy/nitride phosphors for white LEDs. In addition, the application prospects and current trends of research and development of quantum dot phosphors are also discussed.

Recently, most studies concerning inorganic CdSe/ZnS quantum dot (QD)-polymer hybrid LEDs have been concentrated on the structure with multiple layers [1,2]. The QD LEDs used almost CdSe materials for color reproduction such as blue, green and red from the light source until current. However, since Cd is one of six substances banned by the Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive and classified into a hazardous substance for utilization and commercialization as well as for use in life, it was reported that the use of CdSe is not suitable to fabricate a photoelectronic device. In this work, we demonstrate a novel, simple and facile technique for the synthesis of ZnO-graphene quasi-core.shell quantum dots utilizing graphene nanodot in order to overcome Cd material including RoHS materials. Also, We investigate the optical and structural properties of the quantum dots using a number of techniques. In result, At the applied bias 10 V, the device produced bluish-white color of the maximum brightness 1118 cd/$m^2$ with CIE coordinates (0.31, 0.26) at the bias 10 V.

식물공장 내 적색광, 청색광, 적청 혼합광, 자외선, 적외선, 형광등의 광원을 달리하여 어린잎 상추의 생육과 무기성분 흡수를 검토하였다. 잎의 형태는 Red 파장에서 초장 및 하배축의 길이신장이 촉진되어 도장하였고 Far red에서는 생장이 불가능하였으나 Red + Blue의 혼합광원에서는 초장이 짧고 엽수가 많고 생체중이 증가하여 상추의 형태 및 발달 차원에서 유의적으로 좋았다. 광질에 따른 어린잎 상추의 색차 및 상대 엽록소 함량을 조사한 결과, 적색도를 나타내는 Hunter $a^*$ 값은 Red + Blue 혼합광 및 형광등에서 높았고 적색광 및 자외선에서는 낮게 나타났는데 상대 엽록소 함량을 나타내는 SPAD도 같은 경향이었다. 특히 상대엽록소 함량은 형광등의 10.5에 비해 혼합광에서 1.8배 향상된 적색도를 나타내었다. 광원별 상추의 무기물 함량을 조사한 결과, pH 및 K 함량은 모든 처리에서 차이가 없었으나 N, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Ascorbic acid 함량은 LED 처리구에서 많았고 P 및 Mn 함량은 형광등 처리구에서 많았다. 이상의 결과를 요약하면 단색광에 비하여 Red + Blue 혼합광에서 상추의 생육이 우수하고 무기물 함량이 증대되어 식물공장 내 생산성 향상을 위해서는 혼합광 조절로 상품성 있는 고품질의 상추 생산이 가능 할 것으로 생각되었다.

White light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the so-called next-generation solid-state lighting, offer benefits in terms of reliability, energy-saving, maintenance, safety, lead-free, and eco-friendly. Recently, rare-earth-doped oxynitride or nitride compounds have attracted a great deal of interest as a photoluminescent material because of their unique luminescent property, especially for white LEDs applications. Ce doped ${\beta}$-SiAlON has been studied as a wavelength conversion phosphor in white LEDs thanks to its high absorption rates, high quantum efficiency, and excellent thermal stability. Previously researches were not enough to understand the detail mechanism and characteristics of ${\beta}$-SiALON. The bandgap structures and electronic structures were not exact due to limitation of calculation methods. In this study, to elucidate the Ce doping effect on the SiAlON system, accurate band structures and electronic structure of the Ce doped ${\beta}$-SiAlON was intensively investigated using density functional theory calculations. In order to get a better description of the band gaps, MBJLDA method were used. We have found a single Ce atom site in ${\beta}$-SiAlON super cell. Furthermore, the density of state, band structure and lattice constant were intensively investigated.
