포화 수증기압이 고출력 형광체 변환 백색 LED 패키지의 열화현상에 미치는 주요 스트레스 인자임을 확인하였다. 또한 LED 패키지의 가속 수명시험을 통하여 포화 수증기압이 효과적인 가속 스트레스 인자임을 확인하였다. 실험조건은 350 mA 전류를 인가한 것과 인가하지 않은 2가지 조건에 대해 $121^{\circ}C$, 100% R.H. 환경에서 최대 168 시간동안 진행하였다. 실험결과 두 실험 모두 광 출력 감소, 스펙트럼 세기의 감소, 누설전류 및 열 저항이 증가하였다. 고장분석 결과 광 특성의 열화는 봉지재의 변색과 기포에 의해 발생한 것으로 나타났다. LED 패키지의 변색과 흡습에 의해 유발되는 기계적 (hygro-mechanical) 스트레스에 의한 기포 발생은 패키지 열화의 중요한 인자로써, 포화 수증기압이 고출력 LED의 수명시험 시간을 단축하기 위한 스트레스 인자로 적합함을 알 수 있었다.

White-light-emitting ZnS:Mn, Cu, Cl phosphors with spherical shape and the size of $20\;{\mu}m$ are successfully synthesized. They have the double phases of cubic and hexagonal structures. They are applied to electroluminescent (EL) devices by silk screen method with the following structure: $electrode/BaTiO_3$ insulator layer ($50{\sim}60\;{\mu}m$)/ ZnS:Mn, Cu, Cl phosphor layer ($30{\sim}50\;{\mu}m$)/ITO glass. The EL devices are driven with the voltage of 100 V and the frequency of 400 Hz. The EL devices show the three emission peaks. The blue and green emission bands are originated from $CICu^{2+}$ transition and $ClCu^+$ transition, respectively. The yellow emission band results from $^4T^6A$ transition of $Mn^{2+}$ ion. As an increase of Cu concentrations, the blue and green emission intensities decrease whereas the yellow emission intensity increases; the quality becomes warm white. It is due to the energy transfer from the blue and green bands to the yellow band.

Blue light-emitting phosphors having the excitation spectrum range of the medium-long ultraviolet ($280nm{\sim}400nm$) have been prepared by solid state reaction method. As a starting material the natural alkaline feldspar powder produced from the domestic mine field in Buyeo, Chungnam-do. The photoluminescence characteristics and crystal structures have been analyzed for the phosphor samples. The powder mixture of the natural alkaline feldspar and the rare-earth oxide was calcined at $800{\sim}1000^{\circ}C\;for\;3{\sim}4h$ in air. The calcined samples we fully ground at room temperature and then heat-treated in the mild reducing gas atmosphere of $5%H_2-95%N_2$ mixture at $1100{\sim}1150^{\circ}C\;for\;3{\sim}4h$. The natural alkaline feldspar material consists of the monoclinic orthoclase ($KAlSi_3O_8$) and the triclinic albite ($NaAlSi_3O_8$) phases. At the $0.5wt%Eu_2O_3$ addition the PL spectrum showed the maximum intensity and with further increase of $Eu_2O_3$ the PL intensity decreased. The albite phase disappeared in the $Eu_2O_3$ doped phosphors. The effect of the co-doped activator on the PL characteristics have been also discussed.

For white light emitting diode (LED) applications, it has been reported that Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce) in nano-sized phosphor performs better than it does in micro-sized particles. This is because nano-sized YAG:Ce can reduce internal light scattering when coated onto a blue LED surface. Recently, there have been many reports on the synthesis of nano-sized YAG particles using bottom-up method, such as co-precipitation method, sol-gel process, hydrothermal method, solvothermal method, and glycothermal method. However, there has been no report using top-down method. Top-down method has advantages than bottom-up method, such as large scale production and easy control of doping concentration and particle size. Therefore, in this study, nano-sized YAG:Ce phosphors were synthesized by a high energy beads milling process with varying beads size, milling time and milling steps. The beads milling process was performed by Laboratory Mill MINICER with ZrO2 beads. The phase identity and morphology of nano-sized YAG:Ce were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), respectively. By controlling beads size, milling time and milling steps, we synthesized a size-tunable and uniform nano-sized YAG:Ce phosphors which average diameters were 100, 85 and 40 nm, respectively. After milling, there was no impurity and all of the peaks were in good agreement with YAG (JCPDS No. 33-0040). Luminescence and quantum efficiency (QE) of nano-sized YAG:Ce phosphors were measured by fluorescence spectrometer and QE measuring instrument, respectively. The synthesized YAG:Ce absorbed light efficiently in the visible region of 400-500 nm, and showed single broadband emission peaked at 550 nm with 50% of QE. As a result, by considering above results, high energy beads milling process could be a facile and reproducible synthesis method for nano-sized YAG:Ce phosphors.

InP quantum dot (QD) - organosilicon nanocomposites were synthesized and their photoluminescence quenching was mainly investigated because of their applicability to white LEDs (light emitting diodes). The as-synthesized InP QDs which were capped with myristic acid (MA) were incompatible with typical silicone encapsulants. Post ligand exchange the MA with a new ligand, 3-aminopropyldimethylsilane (APDMS), resulted in soluble InP QDs bearing Si-H groups on their surface (InP-APDMS) which allow embedding the QDs into vinyl-functionalized silicones through direct chemical bonding, overcoming the phase separation problem. However, the ligand exchange from MA to APDMS caused a significant decrease in the photoluminescent efficiency which is interpreted by ligand induced surface corrosion relying on theoretical calculations. The InP-APDMS QDs were cross-linked by 1,4-divinyltetramethylsilylethane (DVMSE) molecules via hydrosilylation reaction. As the InP-organosilicon nanocomposite grew, its UV-vis absorbance was increased and at the same time, the PL spectrum was red-shifted and, very interestingly, the PL was quenched gradually. Three PL quenching mechanisms are regarded as strong candidates for the PL quenching of the QD nano-composites, namely the scattering effect, Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and cross-linker tension preventing the QD's surface relaxation.

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.

In this work, narrow-band green-emitting CsPbBr3 particles are embedded in commercialized glass composites by a facile dry process. By optimizing the method through sintering in glass frit (GF) composites including CsBr and PbBr2, used as precursors, the encapsulation of CsPbBr3 particles made them waterproof with green fluorescence. To improve the fluorescent properties by reducing aggregation of CsPbBr3, fumed silica (FS) is additionally used to help particles avoid bulking up in the glass matrix. The CsPbBr3 perovskite/glass composites are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) maps, which support the existence of CsPbBr3 particles in the glass matrix. The photoluminescence (PL) properties demonstrate that the emission spectrum peak, full width at half maximum (FWHM), and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) values are 519 nm, 17 nm, and 17.7 %. We also confirm the water-resistant properties. To enhance water/moisture stability, the composite sample is put directly into water, with its PLQY monitored periodically under UV light.

This paper proposed a new concept of estimating method for LED(light-emitting diode) delamination with high accuracy. Usually, The LED is composed several materials which are LED chips, gold wire, phosphor, epoxy resin, adhesive, reflector and lead frame. These different materials are usually delaminated in a trouble conditions which are huge temperature difference, hot and humid or mechanical shocked. When the components are delaminated, a luminance will be lost, moisture be absorbed easily and a thermal resistance be increased attendantly. As a conventional method to estimate a delamination of LEDs, a solution immersing method is usually used in a field of LED manufacturing companies or researching institutes. This method has an advantage of simplicity but it is only shown that the existence of delamination or not. In this paper, we have proposed an estimating method for LEDs delamination using the polishing and the electron microscope. New proposed method has shown the result of confirming delamination without destruction and enabled quantitative analysis for LED delamination.

(In, Ga) N-based III-nitride semiconductor materials have been viewed as the most promising materials for the applications of blue and green light emitting devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes. Although the InGaN alloy can have wide range of visible wavelength by changing the In composition, it is very hard to grow high quality epilayers of In-rich InGaN because of the thermal instability as well as the large lattice and thermal mismatches. In order to avoid phase separation of InGaN, various kinds of structures of InGaN have been studied. If high-quality In-rich InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) structures are available, it is expected to achieve highly efficient phosphor-free white LEDs. In this study, we proposed a novel InGaN double hetero-structure grown on GaN nano-pyramids to generate broad-band red-color emission with high quantum efficiency. In this work, we systematically studied the optical properties of the InGaN pyramid structures. The nano-sized hexagonal pyramid structures were grown on the n-type GaN template by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. SiNx mask was formed on the n-type GaN template with uniformly patterned circle pattern by laser holography. GaN pyramid structures were selectively grown on the opening area of mask by lateral over-growth followed by growth of InGaN/GaN double hetero-structure. The bird's eye-view scanning electron microscope (SEM) image shows that uniform hexagonal pyramid structures are well arranged. We showed that the pyramid structures have high crystal quality and the thickness of InGaN is varied along the height of pyramids via transmission electron microscope. Because the InGaN/GaN double hetero-structure was grown on the nano-pyramid GaN and on the planar GaN, simultaneously, we investigated the comparative study of the optical properties. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of nano-pyramid sample and planar sample measured at 10 K. Although the growth condition were exactly the same for two samples, the nano-pyramid sample have much lower energy emission centered at 615 nm, compared to 438 nm for planar sample. Moreover, nano-pyramid sample shows broad-band spectrum, which is originate from structural properties of nano-pyramid structure. To study thermal activation energy and potential fluctuation, we measured PL with changing temperature from 10 K to 300 K. We also measured PL with changing the excitation power from 48 ${\mu}W$ to 48 mW. We can discriminate the origin of the broad-band spectra from the defect-related yellow luminescence of GaN by carrying out PL excitation experiments. The nano-pyramid structure provided highly efficient broad-band red-color emission for the future applications of phosphor-free white LEDs.
