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.

$Y_{2-x}Gd_xO_3:Eu$, phosphors for plasma display panel(PDP), were prepared by Pechini method which use yttriun chloride, gadolinium chloride, and europium oxide as starting materials. This method is a different way to the synthesis of europium(Eu)-doped phosphors, and it consists of the formation of a polymeric resin obtained by polyesterification between metal chelate compounds and a polyfunctional alcohol. This needs lower temperature than solid-state synthetic method. The prepared $Y_{2-x}Gd_xO_3:Eu$ phosphor particles had spherical shape and coherence. The luminescence intensity of $Y_{2-x}Gd_xO_3:Eu$ phosphor particles increased according to the increase of gadolinium(Gd) content(to 0.8mol%), and $Y_{1.2}Gd_{0.8}O_3:Eu$ phosphors had the highest luminescence intensity under vacuum ultra violet(VUV) excitation. The optimum concentration of Eu in the phosphor and optimum calcination temperature was 3wt% and $1100^{\circ}C$. The prepared phosphors were consist of particle, and its size was between 100nm and 150nm. Among the different polyfunctional alcohols, diethylene glycol(DEG) improved the luminescence intensities of phosphors more than other additives. The Pechini method proved that it is demonstrated to be suitable for the synthesis of phosphors used in PDP.

We developed an evolutionary optimization process involving a genetic algorithm and combinatorial chemistry (combi-chem), which was tailored exclusively for tile development of LED phosphors with a high luminescent efficiency, when excited by soft ultra violet irradiation. The ultimate goal of our study was to develop oxide red phosphors, which are suitable for three-band white Light Emitting Diodes (LED). To accomplish this, a computational evolutionary optimization process was adopted to screen a Eu$^{3+}$-doped alkali earth borosilicate system. The genetic algorithm is a well-known, very efficient heuristic optimization method and combi-chem is also a powerful tool for use in an actual experimental optimization process. Therefore the combination of a genetic algorithm and combi-chem would enhance the searching efficiency when applied to phosphor screening. Vertical simulations and an actual synthesis were carried out and promising red phosphors for three-band white LED applications, such as Eu$_{0.14}$Mg$_{0.18}$Ca$_{0.07}$Ba$_{0.12}$B$_{0.17}$Si$_{0.32}$O$_{\delta}$, were obtained.

$Dy^{3+}-(or Tm^{3+}-)$ doped $Ga_2O_3 \;and\; ZnGa_2O_4$ phosphors were prepared using the solid state reaction method to investigate their photoluminescent characteristics. Under 254 nm excitation, $Dy^{3+}-doped Ga2_O_3$ exhibited two emission bands of 460~505nm and 570~600nm. On the other hand, $Dy^{3+}-(or Tm^{3+}-)$ doped $ZnGa_2O_4 $phosphors exhibited a broad-band emission extending from 330 nm to 610 nm, peaking at about 430 nm(or 370 nm). In this study, an emission peak shift of nealy 50 nm towards longer wavelength region was observed with $Dy^{3+}$ doping in the $ZnGa_2O_4 $.

The picture quality of a plasma display panel is very sensitive to the phosphor characteristics such as luminescence, decay time, surface properties, and even longevity of phosphor material in itself. In our previous work, the discharging characteristics in green cell of PDP were demonstrated to be enhanced by coating $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ phosphors with positively charged metal oxide such as MgO. Here, $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ phosphors were coated by various metal oxides for examining the coating effect on the picture quality. Specially, longevity while fabricating the panel was investigated for panel application in this work. Also the effects of ion and electron bombardment on the phosphor surface will be discussed in this work.

The panels were fabricated to characterize the contamination of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) thin films by phosphors and ion bombardments in AC-PDPs. Forty-six inch WVGA panels of the surface and vertical discharge type were manufactured. The experiment was designed to investigate the relationship between the MgO thin films and phosphor contamination caused by ion bombardments in a plasma environment to produce a life time test. The contamination of MgO thin films by phosphors was investigated by way of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) operates at high temperatures in range of 600-800℃. Since layers of SOFC are composed of different substances, different thermal expansion in SOFC can result in defects under high temperature conditions. For understanding relation between temperature field and the thermal deformation in SOFC, temperature and strain field were simultaneously estimated using thermographic phosphors by optical measurement. Temperature fields were obtained by the life-time method, and the temperature differences of one specimen was checked with thermocouple. The thermal deformation was estimated by digital image correlation (DIC) method with extracted phosphorescence images. To investigate the deformation accuracy of DIC measurement, thermographic phosphors were coated with and without grid pattern on aluminum surface. Simultaneous measurement of temperature fields and thermal deformation were carried out for YSZ. This study will be helpful to multi-sensing of temperature field and thermal deformation on SOFC cells.

Electroluminescence (EL) comes from the light emission obtained by the electrical excitation energy passing through a phosphor layer undo. an applied high electrical field $(10^6 V/cm)$. The preparation of white and blue phosphors and characterizations of light emitting alternating current powder electroluminescent devices (ACPELDs) were investigated. In this work, we fabricated two kinds of ELDs, that is, yellow electroluminescent device (B-ELD), blue electroluminescent device (B-ELD). The basic st.uctures of Y-ELD and B-ELD are ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)/phosphor layer/Insulator layer/Carbon electrode and ITO/Phosphor layer/Insulating layer/carbon electrode, respectively. Another structures of ITO/Phosphor and Insulator mixture layer/Backelectrode are introduced. EL spectra and luminance of two types of ELDs were measured by changing voltage at fixed frequency 0.4kHz, 1.5kHz. Blue and yellow phosphors prepared in this work show $50cd/m^2\;and\;30cd/m^2$ of luminance at 400Hz, 150V.

Europium-doped gadolinium oxide ($Gd_2O_3;Eu^{3+}$) phosphors have been prepared by combustion method using urea[H$_2$NCONH$_2$] or carbohydrazide[H$_2$NNHCONHNH$_2$] as fuel materials in a preheated furnace at 500$^{\circ}C$. The phosphors obtained were fired at 1200$^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours to get better luminescent properties. The combustion method used was found to be a simple and fast method for the preparation of fine-sized particles. The influence of the fuel/oxidant (urea or carbohydrazide/nitrate) mole ratio on the phosphor has been investigated and the optimum values for various parameters have been determined. By this method, phosphor that has better brightness and smaller size particles than that obtained by conventional method has been prepared.d has been prepared.
