In this paper we fabricated a test panel for AMOLED on glass and PET substrate. The test panel consisted of the various size of OTFTs and OLEDs and the current driving capability of OTFTs for OLEDs has been investigated. OTFTs were made of the inverted staggered structure and employed polyvinylphenol (PVP) as the gate insulator and pentacene thin film as the active layer. The OTFTs produced the filed effect mobility of $0.3 cm^2/V.sec$ and on/off current ratio of $10^5$. OLEDs consisted of TPD for HTL and Alq3 for EML with 35nm thick, generating green monochrome light. We found that OTFT with channel length of 70${\mu}m$ and channel width of over 3.5mm provided the sufficient current to OLED to generate the luminescence of $0.3Cd/m^2$.

We report the synthesis and characterization of new alkoxy substituted spirobifluorene derivatives. The spiro compounds having alkoxy hydrocarbon chains were readily soluble in common organic solvents, having improved film-forming properties and had a significantly reduced tendency to crystallize, resulting in increasing their service lifetime. The results of DSC showed that it was amorphous. The optical and electroluminescent spectra were characterized. Electroluminescence (EL) properties of three-layer light emitting diodes (LED) of $ITO/TPD/spirobifluorene/Alq_3/LiF/Al$ as the active layer were characterized. Blue emission peaking of the EL spectrum of the three-layer device at 402 nm and a luminance of 3,125 $cd/m^2$ were achieved at a drive voltage 12.8 V. The luminous efficiency was obtained to be 1.7 lm/W. The color coordinate in CIE chromaticity is (0.16, 0.09), which is in a pure blue region. The external quantum efficiency was obtained to be 2.0%. The results indicate that the spirobifluorene compounds having alkoxy hydrocarbon chains are strongly potential blue emitters for LED applications.

Both ZnO and GaN have excellent physical properties in optoelectronic devices such as blue light emitting diode (LED), blue laser diode (LD), and ultra-violet (UV) detector. The ZnO/GaN heterostructure, which has a potential to achieve the cost efficient LED technology, has been fabricated by using radio frequency (RF) sputtering, pyrolysis, metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), direct current (DC) arc plasmatron, and pulsed laser deposition (PLD) methods. Among them, the PLD system has a benefit to control the composition ratio of the grown film from the mixture target. A 500-nm-thick ZnO film was grown by PLD technique on c-plane GaN/sapphire substrates. The post annealing process was executed at some varied temperature between from $300^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$. The morphology and crystal structural properties obtained by using atomic force microscope (AFM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the crystal quality of ZnO thin films can be improved as increasing the annealing temperature. We will discuss the post-treatment effect on film quality (uniformity and reliability) of ZnO/GaN heterostructures.

Cryogenic crushing techniques have been employed for recycling waste rubber articles and for extracting residual organic additives present in rubber samples. Rubber particulate derived from tire tread abrasion is one of the key components of road dust. Therefore, in this work, we prepared rubber particulates using a cryogenic crusher and characterized their shapes as well as size distributions according to the type of rubber. The rubber particulates exhibited uneven surfaces with the presence of some small pieces. The order of the particle size distribution was observed to be: NR > BR > SBR. Subsequently, carbon black was added; this led to a decrease in the particle size and the shape becoming rougher. The crushed particulates of the carbon black-filled samples comprised agglomerated shapes of small pieces, which were similar in shape to that of wear debris in tire tread. It was discovered that crosslink density was one of the principal factors that led to the formation of small crushed particulates. The small particulates obtained by cryogenic crushing can be utilized as model rubber particulates for researching micro dust.

Recently, colloidal core/shell type quantum dots lighting-emitting diodes (QDLEDs) have been extensively studied and developed for the future of optoelectronic applications. In the work, we fabricate an inverted CdSe/ZnS quantum dot (QD) based light-emitting diodes (QDLED)[1]. In order to reduce work function of indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode for inverted structure, a very thin (<10 nm) polyethylenimine ethoxylated (PEIE) is used as surface modifier[2] instead of conventional metal oxide electron injection layer. The PEIE layer substantially reduces the work function of ITO electrodes which is estimated to be 3.08 eV by ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS). From transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study, CdSe/ZnS QDs are uniformly distributed and formed by a monolayer on PEIE layer. In this inverted QD LED, two kinds of hybrid organic materials, [poly (9,9-di-n-octyl-fluorene-alt-benzothiadiazolo)(F8BT) + poly(N,N'-bis (4-butylphenyl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)benzidine (poly-TPD)] and [4,4'-N,N'-dicarbazole-biphenyl (CBP) + poly-TPD], were adopted as hole transport layer having high highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level for improving hole transport ability. At a low-operating voltage of 8 V, the device emits orange and red spectral radiation with high brightness up to 2450 and 1420 cd/m2, and luminance efficacy of 1.4 cd/A and 0.89 cd/A, respectively, at 7 V applied bias. Also, the carrier transport mechanisms for the QD LEDs are described by using several models to fit the experimental I-V data.

We demonstrate a low-cost, superbly efficient way of etching for the nano-, and micro-sized pyramid patterns on (100)-oriented Si wafer surfaces for use as a patterned master. We show a way of producing functional optical films for the viewing angle direction brightness-enhancement of Lambertian LED (light emitting diode)/OLED (organic light emitting diode) planar lighting applications. An optimally formulated KOH (Potassium hydroxide) wet etching process enabled random-positioned, and random size-distributed (within a certain size range) pyramid patterns to be developed over the entire (100) silicon wafer substrates up to 8" and a simple replication process of master patterns onto the PC (poly-carbonate) and PMMA (poly-methyl methacrylate) films were performed. Haze ratio values were measured for several film samples exhibiting excellent values over 90% suitable for LED/OLED lighting purposes. Brightness was also improved by 13~14% toward the viewing angle direction. Computational simulations using LightTools$^{TM}$ were also carried out and turned out to be in strong agreement with experimental data. Finally, we could check the feasibility of fabricating low-cost, large area, high performance optical films for commercialization.

Recently, remote phosphors have been reported for application to white LEDs to provide enhanced phosphor efficiency compared with conventional phosphor-based white LEDs. In this study, a remote phosphor was produced by coating via screen printing on a glass substrate with different numbers of phosphor coating. The paste consists of phosphor, lowest softening glass frits, and organic binders. The remote phosphor could be well controlled by varying the phosphor content rated paste. After mounting the remote phosphor on top of a blue LED chip, CCT, CRI, and luminance efficiency were measured and values of 5300 K, 62, and 117 lm/W were respectively obtained in the 80 wt% phosphor with 3 coating layers sintered at $800^{\circ}C$.

Oxidations of cyclopentene and of 1-pentene with air have been studied on a V/Mo/P/Al/Ti-mixed oxide catalyst in a fixed bed integral reactor. At high levels of conversion maleic anhydride was in each case produced as the major organic product, along with minor amounts of phthalic anhydride and, only starting from 1-pentene, also of citraconic anhydride. At lower levels of conversion a total of 30 organic products have been identified, some of which may be intermediates on the way from the substrates to the three anhydrides mentioned above. Based on the dependence of selectivities of the organic products on conversion, reaction schemes for the formation of maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride and citraconic anhydride have been proposed. Oxidation at $310^{\circ}C$ led to increasing conversions and selectivities for maleic anhydride with decreasing space velocities. The highest selectivities for maleic anhydride were obtained at conversion of ca. 100%. Oxidation at a constant space velocity of $2{\cdot}10^4h^{-1}$ led to increasing conversions with increasing temperatures in the range of $300^{\circ}C{\sim}420^{\circ}C$, while the selectivity for maleic anhydride passed through a maximum value of ca. 39% at $370^{\circ}C$ in the oxidation of cyclopentene and a maximum value of ca. 30% at $400^{\circ}C$ in the oxidation of 1-pentene.

Photobiomodulation (PBM)-based therapy, which uses a phenomenon in which a light source of a specific wavelength band promotes ATP production in mitochondria, has attracted much attention in the fields of biology and medicine because of its effects on wound healing, inflammation reduction, and pain relief. Research on PBM-based therapy has mainly used lasers and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as light sources and, despite the advantages of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), there have been only a few cases where OLEDs were used in PBM-based therapy. In this research, the skin-care effect of PBM was analyzed using red (λ = 620 nm), green (λ = 525 nm), and blue (λ = 455 nm) OLED lighting modules, and was compared to the PBM effect of LEDs. We demonstrated the PBM-based skin-care effect of the red, green, blue OLED lighting modules by measuring the increase in the amount of collagen type-1 synthesis, the inhibition of melanin synthesis, and the suppression of nitric oxide generation, respectively.

This study suggests an alternative breast-prosthesis-making process for female breast cancer patients. From June 2018 to July 2018, we conducted a study using nine females between the ages 40-50 who never had breast cancer. We recorded the reported subjective sensations and objective physiological responses to different types of artificial breast materials: Trulife silicon breast prostheses (TS) and hand-made silk breast prostheses (HS). Considering the materials used in TS and HS individually, we studied the subjective sensation with regards to how each material functioned in a photo (VP), movement (VM) and the visual tactility (VT) sense. The results showed that comparing VP and VT led to more significant differences than those comparing VM and VT. In addition, there was a significant difference in terms of tactile sensation when comparing TS and HS with respect to subjective responses to texture. Subjects reported that HS felt more comfortable and gave a better cooling sensation. However, the measured objective physiological responses indicated that skin temperature was higher with HS than TS when touched. This research contributes to scholarship around alternative and new materials to build breast prostheses for women with breast cancer.
