The preparation of ZnS:Mn,Cl phosphor has been carried out by combustion method. Manganese nitrate was decomposed with an organic fuel at $500^{\circ}C$ to give fine sized crystallites in presence of alkali metal halides at a lower temperature than the conventional synthesis. The phosphors thus obtained were then heated at 900 to $1200^{\circ}C$ in an inert atmosphere, for 3hours to get better luminescent properties. The phosphors were prepared at different temperatures and at different doping concentrations of manganese to determine the optimal conditions for synthesizing the phosphors with superior optical properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations have been carried out to observe the particle morphology and the grain size. Powder X-ray diffraction(XRD) was also performed to characterize the phosphors.

In this paper, we studied the matrix type Powder AC Electroluminescence using ZnS:Cu,Cl Phosphor. Previously, Powder AC EL was used in Backlighting of LCD. Rescently, organic Thin Film EL was rapidly developed because of high Luminescence and low applied voltage. But Powder AC EL has Superior features that include sheet like flexibility thickness, low weight, self-emission, a wide viewing angle and a fast response time. We tried to change of phosphor thickness and binder mixture rate in order to obtain the good condition of powder AC EL and we obtained the very low breakdown voltage that was just 15V. Till now, we measured the current-voltage(V-I), luminance-voltage(V-L), Luminance-current (L-I), color coordinate (CIE), and phosphor Intensity of variable thickness. In experiment result, the devices has the luminance of 840 cd/$m^2$ and improved color coordinate, x=0.1557, y=0.2145, using a 10kHz drive frequency.

The green emitting phosphor, $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$ thin film with spinel structure were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering. Thin film phosphors were heat-treated in nitrogen, vacuum and air atmosphere, respectively. The effects of the substrates, heat-treatment conditions and the sputtering parameters were investigated. The growing behavior and luminescent properties of thin films depend on the crystallinity of the substrates. The Ga/Zn atomic ratios and luminescent characteristics were dependent on the annealing conditions.

The organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) based on fluorescence have low efficiency due to the requirement of spin-symmetry conservation. By using the phosphorescent material, internal quantum efficiency can reach 100%, compared with 25% in the case of the fluorescent material. Thus, phosphorescent OLEDs have recently been extensively studied and shown higher internal quantum efficiency than the conventional OLEDs. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of the phosphorescent OLEDs with the green emitting phosphor, $Ir(ppy)_3$ (tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium). The device with a structure of ITO/TPD$Ir(ppy)_3$ doped in BCP/BCP/$Alq_3$/Li:Al/Al was fabricated, and its electrical and optical characteristics were studied. By changing the doping concentration of $Ir(ppy)_3$, we fabricated several devices and investigated their characteristics.

A new method for the preparation of copper activated zinc sulfide phosphors by combustion method has been proposed. Copper nitrate was decomposed with an organic fuel to give fine sized particles in presence of alkali metal halides at low temperature than the conventional synthesis. Organic compound also acted as fuel at 500 $^{\circ}C$ with rapid heating. The phosphors thus obtained were then heated at 900 $^{\circ}C$ in an inert atmosphere for 2-5 hrs to get better luminescent properties.

Willemite green phosphor powders have been prepared by the metallo-organic decomposition (MOD) method, and the photoluminescence and phase formation were studied as a function of both the firing temperature ($800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$) and the concentration of Mn activator ($4{\sim}12 mol%$). Under 254 nm excitation source, the emission intensity of the phosphors increased with increasing the firing temperature from 800 to $1000^{\circ}C$. From the XRD analysis, the powders heat-treated above $1000^{\circ}C$ showed willemite crystal structure. The maximum emission intensity was obtained far the phosphors heat-treated at $1000^{\circ}C$ with 8 mol% of Mn content. The concentration quenching was occurred when the Mn concentration exceeded 10 mol%. The phosphor particles showed spherical shapes with the average size of $0.4{\sim}0.5{\mu}m$ by the SEM morphology.

Multi- wall carbon nanotubes(MWNTs) were synthesized by thermal chemical vapor deposition. The paste for screen printing was composed of MWNTs, organic vehicle and glass frit. Carton nanotube paste was screen-printed on ITO(indium tin oxide) deposited soda lim을 glass, and then heat treatment was performed. Before the surface treatment, turn on field of derive was 2.6 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$. After the surface treatment, the value was changed into 1.8 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$. The anode current of the derive with 2.83 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$(turn on field) was changed 4 $\mu\textrm{A}$ into 390 $\mu\textrm{A}$ at 1,700 V. Adsorption effect of MWNTs onto phosphor of anode plate was observed by the field emission measurement and resulted in bad effects on properties of devices lifetime and emission lighting.

$Ho^{3+}$ doped $SrAl_2O_4$ upconversion phosphor powders were synthesized by spray pyrolysis, and the crystallographic properties and luminescence characteristics were examined by varying activator concentrations and heattreatment temperatures. The effect of organic additives on the crystal structure and luminescent properties was also investigated. $SrAl_2O_4:Ho^{3+}$ powders showed intensive green emission due to the $^5F_4/^5S_2{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition of $Ho^{3+}$. The optimal $Ho^{3+}$ concentration in order to achieve the highest luminescence was 0.1%. Over this concentration, emission intensities were largely diminished via a concentration quenching due to dipole-dipole interaction between activator ions. According to the dependence of emission intensity on the pumping power of a laser diode, it was clear that the upconversion of $SrAl_2O_4:Ho^{3+}$ occurred via the ground state absorption-excited state absorption processes involving two near-IR photons. Synthesized powders were monoclinic as a major phase, having some hexagonal phase. The increase of heat-treatment temperatures from $1000^{\circ}C$ to $1350^{\circ}C$ led to crystallinity enhancement of monoclinic phase, reducing hexagonal phase. The hexagonal phase, however, did not disappear even at $1350^{\circ}C$. When both citric acid (CA) and ethylene glycol (EG) were added to the spray solution, the resulting powders had pure monoclinic phase without forming hexagonal phase, and led to largely enhancement of crystallinity. Also, N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) addition to the spray solution containing both CA and EG made it possible to effectively reduce the surface area of $SrAl_2O_4:Ho^{3+}$ powders. Consequently, the $SrAl_2O_4:Ho^{3+}$ powders prepared by using the spray solution containing CA/EG/DMF mixture as the organic additives showed about 168% improved luminescence compared to the phosphor prepared without organic additives. It was concluded that both the increased crystallinity of high-purity monoclinic phase and the decrease of surface area were attributed to the large enhancement of upconversion luminescence.

Recently, many groups have attempted to fabricate 3-dimensional (3D) structures of GaN such as pyramids, rods, stripes and annulars. Since quantum structures on non-polar and semi-polar planes of 3D structures have less influence of internal electric filed, multi quantum wells (MQWs) formed on those planes have high quantum efficiency. Especially, pyramidal and annular structures consist of various crystal planes with different emission wavelength, providing a possibillity of phosphor-free white light emtting diodes (WLEDs).[1] However, it still has problem to obtain high color rendering index (CRI) number because of narrow-band emission and poor indium composition caused by the formation of few number of facets during metal-organic chemical vapor deposition growth.[2] If we can fabricate 3D structure having more various facets, we can make broad-band emittied WLEDs and improve CRI number. In this study, we suggest a simple method to fabricate 3D structures having various facet and containing high indium composition by means of a combination of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition and wet chemical etching techniques.

By fabricating the organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) based on phosphorescent material, the internal quantum efficiency can reach 100%, compared to 25% in the case of the fluorescent material. Thus, the phosphorescent OLEDs have recently been extensively studied and showed higher internal quantum efficiencies then the conventional OLEDs. In this study, we investigated the characteristics of the phosphorescent OLEDs, with the green emitting phosphor, $Ir(ppy)_{3}$, (tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium). The devices with a structure of $ITO/TPD/Ir(ppy)_{3}$ doped in the host material $/BCP/Alq_{3}/Li:Al/Al$ were fabricated, and its electrical and optical characteristics were studied. By changing the doping concentration of $Ir(ppy)_{3}$, we fabricated several devices and investigated the device characteristics. OLEDs doped into BCP by 10% showed the best characteristics. For 10% doped OLEDs, the maximum luminance of was over 10000 $cd/m^{2}$, and the maximum power efficiency was 7.14 lm/W.
