Photobiomodulation (PBM) using organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) surface light sources have recently been claimed to be the next generation of PBM light sources. However, the differences between light emitting diodes (LEDs) and OLED mechanisms in vitro and in vivo have not been well studied. In vivo mouse models were used to investigate the effects of OLED irradiation on cellular function and cutaneous wound healing compared to LED irradiation. Mice in the LED- and OLED-irradiated groups were subjected to irradiation with 6 J/㎠ LED and OLED (630 nm), respectively, for 14 days after wounding, and some mice were sacrificed for the experiments on days 3, 7, 10, and 14. To evaluate wound healing, we performed hematoxylin-eosin and Masson's trichrome staining and quantified collagen density by computerized image analysis. The results showed that the size of the wound, collagen density, neo-epidermis thickness, number of new blood vessels, and number of fibroblasts and neutrophils was significantly influenced by LED and OLED irradiation. The tissue levels of interleukin (IL)-β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were investigated by immunohistochemical staining. LED and OLED irradiation resulted in a significant increase in the tissue IL-β and IL-6 levels at the early stage of wound healing (P < 0.01), and a decrease in the tissue TNF-α level at all stages of wound healing (P < 0.05), compared to the no-treatment group. The expression levels of the genes encoding vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor-beta 1 were significantly increased in LED and OLED-irradiated wound tissue at the early stage of wound healing (P < 0.01) compared to the no-treatment group. Thus, OLED as well as LED irradiation accelerated wound healing by modulating the synthesis of anti-inflammatory cytokines and the expression levels of genes encoding growth factors, promoting collagen regeneration and reducing scarring. In conclusion, this suggests the possibility of OLED as a new light source to overcome the limitations of existing PBMs.

백색 OLED 조명 분야에서 색 변환은 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 하지만 청색 유기물의 발광 특성이 좋지 못하여 아직까지 정착이 되지 못하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 발광 효율이 낮은 청색 OLED 대신 청색 LED와 황색 OLED를 사용하여 색 변환을 통한 백색 발광 panel을 제조하고 전기 및 광학적 특성을 평가하였다. 먼저 OLED소자는 진공증착방법을 사용하여 ITO (150 nm)/KHI-001 (5 nm)/LG-101 (10 nm)/KHT-001 (25 nm)/ PGH-02 (25 nm): Ir (mpp) 3 (8%): PRD-003 (0.3%)/TMM-004 (10 nm)/LG-201 (20 nm): LiQ (50%)/Al (150 nm) 구조를 갖는 발광면적 $70{\times}70mm^2$의 황색 OLED panel을 제작하였다. CIE 1931색좌표는(0.49, 0.49)이고, 효율은 $41.61{\ell}m/W$이다. 그리고 LED는 청색 칩을 한 줄로 나열하여 LED bar를 만들었고 여기에 도광판, 리버스 프리즘시트, 확산시트 그리고 반사시트를 더하여 점광원을 면광원화 하였다. CIE 1931색좌표가 (0.15, 0.04)이며 효율은 $3.56{\ell}m/W$이다. 황색 OLED를 청색 LED 면광원 뒤에 붙여서 두 빛이 도광판 위쪽으로 나오게 하였다. 이렇게 hybrid된 빛은 인가 전류를 변화 시킴으로써 색온도 3,200 K의 warm white에서 7,800 K의 cool white까지 변환이 가능하였다. 그리고 순백의 hybrid 빛을 얻을 수 있었는데 이때의 색온도는 4200K이고 CIE 1931색좌표는(0.34, 0.33)이며 연색지수는 89였다.

차세대 조명 광원으로 각광받고 있는 OLED의 개발을 위하여 조명의 기본 요구조건을 충 하면서 OLED 특성을 효과적으로 적용, 홍보할 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 특성 자체로만 놓고 보면 OLED조명은 경쟁 광원인 LED에 비하여 전력 효율이나 신뢰성 면에서 현재 열 인 것은 분명하다. 열세특성은 지속적인 재료와 소자구조의 개발을 통하여 극복해 나가고, 동시에 디자인 측면과 같은 우세특성과 더불어 저원가, 단순공정구조의 OLED 조명을 개발해 나간다면 OLED 조명도 조속한 시일 내에 LED와 더불어 차세대 광원으로서 분명히 중요한 위치를 차지할 수 있을 것이다.

OLED는 유기발광 물질에서 나오는 빛을 이용하는 소자로 현재는 주로 디스플레이분야에서 LCD와 경쟁하고 있다. OLED 조명은 백색을 내는 OLED 소자를 조명으로 이용하는 것으로 휘도가 높고 낮은 전압에서 구동되며 유리 기판위에 제작됨으로 얇다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 특히 OLED는 수 mm 이하의 두께로 구현이 가능하여 경량 박형의 광원이 가능하므로 실치 장소에 대한 제약이 거의 없다는 장점을 까지고 있다. 시장전망 기관들에 따르면 OLED 조명 시장은 2012년을 전후로 본격적으로 시작될 것으로 예상하고 있다.

Organic electroluminesencent device have been studied because of its easy fabrication and high brightness for plate panel display instead of CRT and LED. There are some device structure for full color filter system can be applicable to the full color application if the blue light organic electroluminesencent device(OELD) is developed. In this study, We have investigated electro-luminescent (EL) characteristics of organic EL device using Alq3, PBD as emitting material. Current and luminance can be seen that express a similar relativity in voltage and could know that luminance is expressing current relativity.
