The objective of this study was to examine the growth reaction of strawberry plants to the mixed red and blue LED sources and their installation method. The artificial light sources were : LED PAR(PPFD $2{\sim}4{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$), LED BAR(PPFD $100{\sim}120{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$) and incandescent(PPFD $2{\sim}4{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$) lamp. The lighting treatment was started at the first cluster flowering period as a night breaking lighting and was applied during 3 hours, between 22:00 and 01:00 every day. Plant height and leafstalk length were longer in plants treated with incandescent lamp, where as fresh and dry weight of shoot were heavier in LED PAR compared to incandescent lamp treatment. LED PAR treatment also resulted in the largest leaf area, chlorophyll content was increased by $0.36mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ after 60 days from the starting of the artificial lighting. According to the experimental results application of 16W LED PAR lamps and W-type installation method can improve light environment in strawberry lighting culture.

The Nowadays, LED head lamp has been used instead of halogen lamp at automotive head lamp. Inside this LED head lamp, there is a radiant heat panel which has the role to have the considerable influence upon LED life. As the radiant heat panel absorbs the heat from medium, the overheat of diode can prevented. in this study, the heat transfer and thermal stress are investigated according to the configuration of radiant heat panel. As the result of this study, the heat at model 1 decreases in comparison with model 2 and model 1 in design has the durability more than model 2. As the convergence technique is grafted on the design of radiant heat panel, the esthetic sense can be shown at the automotive head lamp.

LED light sources have been known to have a long life and good energy efficiency compared to traditional light sources. Recently, headlamps using LED light sources have ensured the forward visibility and safe operation of high-speed rolling stock. However, assessing the lifespan of LED headlamps based on real test data is not easy because it depends on the multiple stress factors such as a fixed driving current, junction temperature, vibration and so on. Generally, LED headlamps have failed before their advertised life span mainly due to temperature. Thus, the performance assessment of a temperature control unit should be done before a life cycle test of LED headlamps. This study attempted to develop a prototype temperature control module for a lifecycle test system using a commercial LED headlight and verified the system through experiments.

Since LED lights have advantages of long life, low-carbon and high efficiency, they have been widely used as household lamps, automotive lighting, traffic lights etc. In this study, MCPCB LED lamps for automotive LED headlights were manufactured and the performance of heat release was optimized. The developed LED headlight satisfied the target thermal performance with heat pipes and fans, and it was also shown that fan life can be prolonged three times by fan on-off control.

LED luminaires as a lighting system have attracted much research attention due to their high efficiency and long lifetimes. However, disappointing outcomes have been noted in terms of performance levels and lifetimes as compared to desired system requirements in practice due to certain electrical and thermal characteristics of LEDs. LM-80 and TM-21 established by IESNA are the best known standards for lifetime test procedures and estimation techniques. However, they only handle LED light sources without guaranteeing the LED luminaire in a reliability test. They also operate for more than 6,000 hours and undergo various stresses, such as the operating current and temperature. Therefore, a lifetime standard for LED luminaires has not yet been established. This paper proposes a conceptual design of a lifetime test system for LED headlamps depending on the operating environment. Eventually, this method can assist with evaluations of the validity of lifetime standard tests of LED headlamps.

The objective of this study is to investigate the cooling characteristics of a heat sink for an LED headlight used in passenger cars. To this end, this study conducts the experimental and numerical analysis of the heat sink heated at constant heat fluxes without air flow applied. In the experiments, heat was transferred at a constant heat flux through the bottom of a heat sink. The measured temperature on pre-selected locations of the heat sink was in good agreement with the numerically predicted one. The experimental and numerical results indicate that the convective heat transfer coefficient for the natural convection mode was decreased by increasing the heat flux applied to the bottom of heat sink, lowering the cooling capabilities.

We investigated the optical design of a smart headlamp capable of producing various beam patterns through only on/off modulation of light sources. This was implemented by forming a continuous matrix of beams from discontinuous beam patterns by means of a multi-array LED optical system. As one such optical system, the multi-array LED system is a convenient and economical device for implementing beam patterns with the simple on/off modulation of the light sources. A single optical assembly module can be made by combining a multiple-LED array, optical system module, and electronic control with no need for any additional mechanical components. The present optical system was designed to include a secondary lens and a projection lens mounted at the front of each LED in the array to realize accurate lighting patterns as well as the required luminosity at a distance of 25 m in the forward direction. Finally, we identified and analyzed the patterns implemented by the designed optical system that produced satisfactory performance of high beams and adaptive driving beams (ADB).

Recently, application of LED luminaires has been issued for energy saving plan. In this paper, we carried out a study to replace a low efficacy sealed-beam lamp for headlight of railroad vehicles with LED luminaire. Electrical and optical characteristics of the sealed-beam lamp were analyzed and a LED headlight was designed and fabricated. Total luminous efficacy and rated power of the prototype LED headlight were 82 lm/W ; about 5 times higher, and 40W ; about 4 times lower than the sealed-beam lamp, respectively. Especially, lifetime of the sealed-beam lamp is short as 1,000 hours due to the evaporation and vibration of filament, but that of LED headlight is over 30,000 hours long.

최근 Light-emitting diodes (LEDs: 발광다이오드) 디바이스의 고휘도, 저전력, 긴 수명, 다양한 색연출 가능, 친환경 소자 등의 장점으로 LED 디바이스가 flat panel display(FPD)의 back light unit (BLU) 를 비롯해 실내 외 조명과 자동차 전조등 분야 이외에도 의료, 인테리어 사업을 비롯한 각종 전자 통신 기기의 정보 처리 기기의 표시소자 등, 여러 제품 군에 적용되는 가운데 큰 관심을 받고 있다. 하지만 이러한 여러 가지 장점에도 불구하고 LED 모듈에서의 junction temperature가 높은 방열 특성이 나쁘다는 단점은 아직 해결되지 않고 있는 실정이다. LED 소자 모듈에서의 junction temperature가 높을 경우 소비되는 에너지가 많을 뿐만 아니라 LED 소자의 발광효율이 떨어지고 수명이 급격히 저하 되어, 결국에는 신뢰성 특성이 현저히 저하 되는 결과가 초래되기 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 LED 디바이스의 열저항을 낮추기 위해 고방열 세라믹 기판을 이용해 LED 디바이스의 방열 특성을 향상시킨 결과를 제시한다. 고방열 세라믹 기판을 제작하여 LED 칩을 실장시킨 다음 LED 열저항 특성을 측정하였다. 이때 고방열 세라믹 기판은 Al2O3와 AlN이 사용되었으며 제작한 세라믹 기판의 강도, 표면 roughness, 미세구조 등을 살펴보고 이 기판들의 열전도도를 측정하였다. 제작 공정방법에 따라 세라믹 기판의 미세구조를 비롯한 기계적, 열적 특성이 현저히 변하였으며 이때 LED 칩을 실장 하여 측정한 열저항 특성 값도 함께 변하였다. Al2O3의 열저항 값은 3.003 K/W 으로 측정 되었으며, AlN의 열저항 값은 3.003k/W 으로 측정되었다.
