Lifetime study of blue phosphorescent and thermally activated delayed fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes was carried out to understand the dominant degradation process during electrical operation of the devices. Doping concentration dependence of the phosphorescent and thermally activated delayed fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes was studied, which demonstrated long lifetime at low doping concentration in the phosphorescent devices and at high doping concentration in the thermally activated delayed fluorescent devices. Detailed mechanism study of the two devices described that triplet-triplet annihilation is the main degradation process of phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes, whereas triplet-polaron annihilation is the key degradation factor of the thermally activated delayed fluorescent devices.

The night visibility of pavement is being considered as a global issue in the field of traffic safety. Although the spreading glass beads on the lane paints has been mainly used to secure night-visibility by utilizing the effect of retroreflection, obvious shortcoming of this method is that retroflection does not occur in the range where the headlights do not reach the glass beads. The use of functional paints including phosphorescent constituents could be a solution for overcoming fore-mentioned problem. SrAl₂O₄ based chemicals have not only good phosphorescent property, but also are chemically stable compared to existing ZnS based materials. However, this chemicals also need the improvement due to slightly reduced luminous effect in time. Herein, we developed novel paints showing enhanced phosphorescent properties by putting rare earth elements such as Eu, Dy and Y into SrAl₂O₄. These prepared phosphorescent pigments have displayed improved properties in terms of durability and long afterglow. For instance, the property of afterglow has been persisted after 5 hours with luminace of 20.6 mcd/m².

OBJECTIVES : Visibility at night can be improved by using retroreflection for short distances and phosphorescent line markings for long distances. In this study, we analyzed the characteristics of the phosphorescent line marking through a laboratory luminance test. Field performance analysis was performed through tests conducted on the road. We also examined the luminance measurement methods using the digital image obtained during the phosphorescent visibility evaluation. METHODS : In this study, the laboratory luminance test of the phosphorescent line marking was conducted using seven specimens to characterize the luminance changes according to the type of the glass beads, the thickness of the phosphorescent line marking, and the brightness and irradiation time of the light source. Phosphorescent and general line markings were made at 150 m to investigate the field luminance performance. A preliminary review of the luminance measurement methods was made using a digital image from a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera. The measured luminance ratio of the general and the phosphorescent line markings was compared with the calculated luminance ratio using luminance analysis. RESULTS : Through the laboratory luminance test, it was seen that the change in luminance, which corresponds to the brightness of the light source, appears large but the influence of the thickness and irradiation time is low. The field performance test of the phosphorescent line marking conducted on the road involved measuring the luminance on the day the marking was made and 7 days after the marking was made. The luminance was found to be $190mcd/m^2$ at 30 min after sunset and approximately $10-12mcd/m^2$ 4h after sunset. The results of the luminance test were captured using a digital image for each time group. The luminance ratio of the phosphorescent line marking, when compared to that of the general line marking, showed a similar trend within a 13% maximum error. Additionally, when this luminance ratio is compared to the direct field measurement, it could be confirmed that the luminance ratio, as captured in the digital image, showed a similar tendency. CONCLUSIONS : 1) The change in luminance corresponding to the brightness of the light source is significant in comparison with that corresponding to the thickness and the irradiation time. In addition, the results of the field test for the phosphorescent line marking satisfied the phosphorescent fire protection standard. 2) We examined the validity of the luminance measurement method using a digital image and we concluded that the change in the luminance ratio shows a similar tendency in both the cases. The results can form the basis for luminance measurement methodology for the construction and maintenance of phosphorescent line markings.

We demonstrate a new commercial green phosphorescent organic light emitting device (OLED) in a bottom emission device and top emission microcavity. The bottom and top emitting phosphorescent OLEDs (PHOLED$^{TM}$s) had luminance efficiencies of 60cd/A and 137cd/A respectively, at a luminance of 1,000cd/$m^2$. The top emission microcavity was close to 1953 NTSC color requirements with 1931 CIE color coordinates of 0.231, 0.718. A record green PHOLED lifetime of >3,500hrs to LT95 from 4000cd/$m^2$ is demonstrated for the microcavity device.

The present study examined whether light emitted by long-afterglow phosphorescent pigments (LumiNova) would stimulate gonadal development in fish during the nonbreeding season. Pellets containing LumiNova powder (treatment group) were prepared and placed on the calvaria of specimens of the sapphire devil Chrysiptera cyanea, a reef-associated damselfish that requires long days for gonadal recrudescence. A pellet without LumiNova powder was placed on the calvaria of the control fish (control group). Fish were reared at $26^{\circ}C$ under a light-dark cycle (12 h photophase, 12 h scotophase; LD 12:12) for 4 weeks. No difference in the gonadosomatic index (GSI) or ovarian histology was observed among the control, sham-operation, and treatment groups 1 week after the start of the experiment. After 4 weeks, the GSI of the control and sham-operation groups remained at low levels, and ovaries contained immature oocytes at the perinucleolus stage. In contrast, the treatment group exhibited significantly higher values of GSI as well as developed ovaries with fully vitellogenic oocytes. These results demonstrated that long-day conditions were produced by light emitted from the LumiNova pellets, thus stimulating ovarian development in the damselfish. Therefore, long-afterglow phosphorescent pigments can be used as an alternative to standard light sources for purposes of artificial stimulation of gonadal development in fish.

In recent days, the study of a new phosphorescent phosphor has been performed in order to overcome the defect of sulfide phosphor and increase the brightness and long after-glow characteristic of phosphorescent phosphor. Particularly, sulfide phosphor usually used is so chemically unstable that the study of oxide phosphors are processing. $Eu^{2+}$, $Nd^{3+}$ doped Ba-Al-O phosphors sintered at $600{\sim}1500^{\circ}C$ for 2hours had the PL emission spectrum and after-glow over $1200^{\circ}C$. In this system, as the mole concentration of alumina increases, emission bands of phosphors moved from 500nm to 380nm. The optimum concentration of flux was 5wt% and after-glow characteristics of phosphors were found at the host material molar ratio ($BaCO_{3}:Al_{2}O_{3}$), 1:1 and 1:3.

$SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ phosphorescent phosphors were synthesized using the polymerized complex method. Generally, phosphorescent phosphors synthesized by conventional solid state reaction show a micro-sized particle diameter; thus, this process is restricted to applications such as phosphorescent ink and paint. However, it is possible to synthesize homogeneous multi-component powders with fine particle diameter by wet process such as the polymerized complex method. The characteristics of $SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ powders prepared by polymerized complex method with one and two step calcination processes were comparatively analyzed. Temperatures of organic material removal and crystallization were observed through TG-DTA analysis. The crystalline phase and crystallite size of the $SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ phosphorescent phosphors were analyzed by XRD. Microstructures and afterglow characteristics of the $SrAl_2O_4$: $Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ phosphors were measured by SEM and spectrofluorometry, respectively.
