We present highly polarized light emissions from an OLED on a flexible photonic anisotropic substrate. It was found that the polarization direction of emitted electroluminescent light corresponded to the ordinaryaxis of the photonic anisotropic substrate. Furthermore, it was also found that luminous polarized electroluminescence over 4,500 cd/$m^2$ was produced with high peak efficiency of 6 cd/A and high polarization ratio over 25.

Parallel femtosecond laser processing using a computer-generated hologram (CGH) displayed on a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LCSLM) is demonstrated. The use of the LCSLM enables to perform an arbitrary and variable patterning. This holographic femtosecond laser processing has advantages of high throughput and high light-use efficiency. A critical issue is to precisely control the intensities of the diffraction peaks of the CGH. We demonstrate some methods for the control of the diffraction peaks. We also demonstrate the laser processing with two-dimensional and three-dimensional parallelism.

The metallic contact system of silicon solar cell must have several properties, such as low contact resistance, easy application and good adhesion. Ni is shown to be a suitable barrier to Cu diffusion as well as desirable contact metal to silicon. Nickel monosilicide(NiSi) has been suggested as a suitable silicide due to its lower resistivity, lower sintering temperature and lower layer stress than $TiSi_2$. Copper and Silver can be plated by electro & light-induced plating method. Light-induced plating makes use the photovoltaic effect of solar cell to deposit the metal on the front contact. The cell is immersed into the electrolytic plating bath and irradiated at the front side by light source, which leads to a current density in the front side grid. Electroless plated Ni/ Electro&light-induced plated Cu/ Light-induced plated Ag contact solar cells result in an energy conversion efficiency of 16.446 % on $0.2\sim0.6\;{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, $20\;\times\;20\;mm^2$, CZ(Czochralski) wafer.

An anaerobic photosynthetic treatment process utilizing purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteria (PNSB) was applied to the recovery of organic carbon from food processing wastewater. PNSB cells, by-product from the treatment, have high nutrition such as proteins and vitamins which are a good alternative for fish feed. Effects of light source on performance of anaerobic photosynthetic process were investigated in this study. Two bench-scale photo-bioreactors were lighted with infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs) and tungsten lamps covered with infrared transmitting filter, respectively, aiming to supply infrared light for photosynthetic bacteria growth. The photo-bioreactors were operated to treat noodle-processing wastewater for 323 days. Hydraulic retention time (HRT) was set as 6 days. Organic removals in the photo-bioreactor lighted with infrared LEDs (91%-95%) was found higher than those in photo-bioreactor with tungsten lamps with filter (79%-83%). Biomass production in a 150 L bench-scale photo-bioreactor was comparable to a 8 L small-scale photo-bioreactor in previous study, due to improvement of light supply efficiency. Application of infrared LEDs could achieve higher treatment performance with advantages in energy efficiency and wavelength specifity.

Insertion of a thin lithium fluoride (TLF) layer between an emitting layer (EML) and an electron transporting layer has resumed in the developement of a highly efficient and bright organic light-emitting diode (OLED). Comparing with the performance of the device as a function of position with the TLF layer in tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum $(Alq_{3})$, we propose the optimal position for the TLF layer in the stacked structure. The fabricated OLED shows a luminance efficiency of more than 20 cd/A, a power efficiency of 12 Im/W (at 20 mA/$cm^{2}$), and a luminance of more than 22 000 cd/$m^{2}$ (at 100 mA/$cm^{2}$), respectively. We suggest that the enhanced performance of the OLED is probably attributed to the improvement of carrier balance to achieve a high level of recombination efficiency in an EML.

High contrast red, green and blue organic light-emitting diodes were fabricated using inorganic metal multi layer composed of thin Al, KCl and thick Al and then were compared to optical and electrical characteristics with the attached polarizer and conventional OLEDs. Ambient light reflection of OLED using inorganic metal layer, polarizer and conventional metal layer were 29.2, 31.1 and 82.5% respectively. Optical characteristics of OLEDs using inorganic metal layer were max luminescence of 13040 cd/m2 and luminous efficiency of 2.12 cd/A at 8V whereas OLEDs using polarizer has 8456 cd/m2 and 1.43 cd/A at 8V each. OLEDs including inorganic metal multi layers show significant technical advantages in achieving high performance of OLED display with improved contrast ratio of 251:1, specifically in Red OLED.

As energy depletion and environmental pollution problems are intensified, research has been conducted actively on alternative energy sources, an eco-friendly and continuous available energy conversion system. So has been organic solar cells whose efficiency is improved to 18.32%. The photoactive layer inside the solar cell is composed of a donor and a acceptor, and the combination of materials capable of effectively exchanging electrons greatly affects the efficiency of the organic solar cell. Accordingly, various researches have been conducted to improve the efficiency, and the maximum efficiency could be achieved by a solar cell with high carrier generation and low charge recombination characteristics through the introduction of a non-fullerene acceptor and material reconstruction. Organic solar cells are still difficult to commercialize due to their efficiency limitations and light stability, but if a photoactive layer consisting of a donor capable of efficiently absorbing long-wavelength light and an acceptor capable of forming an appropriate energy level is designed, the efficiency of the organic solar cell will reach 20%.

The front transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films must exhibit good transparency, low resistivity and excellent light scattering properties for high efficiency amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film solar cells. The light trapping phenomenon is limited due to non-uniform and low aspect ratio of the textured glass [1]. We present the low cost electrochemically deposited uniform zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods with various aspect ratios for a-Si thin film solar cells. Since the major drawback of the electrochemically deposited ZnO nanorods was the high sheet resistance and low transmittance that was overcome by depositing the RF magnetron sputtered AZO films as a seed layer with various thicknesses [2]. The length and diameters of the ZnO nanorods was controlled by varying the deposition conditions. The length of ZnO nanorods were varied from 400 nm to $2{\mu}m$ while diameter was kept higher than 200 nm to obtain different aspect ratios. The uniform ZnO nanorods showed higher haze ratio as compared to the commercially available FTO films. We also observed that the scattering in the longer wavelength region was favored for the high aspect ratio of ZnO nanorods and much higher aspect ratios degraded the light scattering phenomenon. Therefore, we proposed our low cost and uniform ZnO nanorods for the high efficiency of thin film solar cells.

The electrophosphorescent emission properties were investigated in polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) based on a poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) doped with a green phosphorescent dye of fac-tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium (III) [$Ir(ppy)_3$]. A green light peaked at 516 nm was emitted from devices with a configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK:$Ir(ppy)_{3}$/BCP/$Alq_{3}$/LiF/Al. The optimal doping concentration of $Ir(ppy)_{3}$ in PVK was found at 2% by weight, under which maximum current efficiency of 24.3 cd/A and peak external quantum efficiency of 6.8% were achieved at the high luminance of 4240 $cd/m^{2}$. The external quantum efficiency of 5% and current efficiency of 18 cd/A can be sustained even at the very high luminance of 35000 $cd/m^{2}$.

Electrical properties of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were simulated by S.co's program. The OLEDs have stable operating parameters, high luminance, and high efficiency in simulation. The AF stands for amorphous fluoropolymer in simulation, and it was used as a hole-injection layer. In the five structure of OLEDs, an AF layer is sandwiched between the hole-transport layer and the ITO layer to increase the external quantum efficiency. By considering organic light-emitting diodes using an optimal energy gap of AF, it could contribute to the improvement of the efficiency of the device in the simulation.
