LED는 소비전력 절감, 사용수명 증가, 발광 파장 변화를 통한 다변적 적용이 가능하여 에너지 효율 증대의 대안으로 각광받고 있으며, 조명뿐만 아니라 디스플레이 백라이트, 차량용 헤드라이트 등 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있다. 현재 백색 LED를 구현하는 데에는 청색 LED와 황색 형광체를 혼합하는 방식이 주로 활용되며, 황색 형광체로는 YAG : $Ce^{3+}$가 많이 이용된다. 기존에는 형광체를 epoxy resin과 혼합하여 LED chip 위에 도포하여 경화시키는 패키징 방식을 주로 사용하였다. 하지만 페이스트 기반 패키징 방식은 열에 의한 형광체의 특성 저하와 효율 감소 문제를 일으킨다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 형광체 플레이트를 이용한 remote 방식이 이용되고 있지만, 플레이트 내부 전반사로 인한 광 효율 손실 또한 해결해야 할 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 플레이트 측면을 Ag로 코팅함으로써 플레이트 내부의 전반사에 의한 광 효율 손실을 해결하고자 하였다.

Today, silicon and epoxy resin are used as materials of conversion lenses for white LEDs on the basis of their good bonding and transparency in LED packages. But these materials give rise to long-term performance problems such as reaction with water, yellowing transition, and shrinkage by heat. These problems are major factors underlying performance deterioration of LEDs. In this study, in order to address these problems, we fabricated a conversion lenses using glass, which has good chemical durability and is stable to heat. The fabricated conversion lenses were applied to a remote phosphor type. In this experiment, the conversion lens for white LED was coated on a glass substrate by a screen printing method using paste. The thickness of the coated conversion lens was controlled during 2 or 3 iterations of coating. The conversion lens fabricated under high heat treatment temperature and with a thin coating showed higher luminance efficiency and CCT closer to white light than fabricated lenses under low heat treatment temperature or a thick coating. The conversion lens with $32{\mu}m$ coating thickness showed the best optical properties: the measured values of the CCT, CRI, and luminance efficiency were 4468 K, 68, and 142.22 lm/w in 20 wt% glass frit, 80 wt% phosphor with sintering at $800^{\circ}C$.

An improvement for the efficiency of the $Sr_{2}SiO_{4}:Eu$ yellow phosphor under the $450{\sim}470\;nm$ excitation range have been achieved by adding the co-doping element ($Mg^{2+}\;and\;Ba^{2+}$) in the host. White LEDs were fabricated through an integration of an blue (InGaN) chip (${\lambda}_{cm}=450\;nm$) and a blend of two phosphors ($Mg^{2+},\;Ba^{2+}\;co-doped\;Sr_{2}SiO_{4}:Eu$ yellow phosphor+CaS:Eu red phosphor) in a single package. The InGaN-based two phosphor blends ($Mg^{2+},\;Ba^{2+}\;co-doped\;Sr_{2}SiO_{4}:Eu$ yellow phosphor+CaS:Eu red phosphor) LEDs showed three bands at 450 nm, 550 nm and 640 nm, respectively. The 450 nm emission band was due to a radiative recombination from an InGaN active layer. This 450 nm emission was used as an optical transition of the $Mg^{2+},\;Ba^{2+}\;co-doped\;Sr_{2}SiO_{4}:Eu$ yellow phosphor+CaS:Eu red phosphor. As a consequence of a preparation of white LEDs using the $Mg^{2+},\;Ba^{2+}\;co-doped\;Sr_{2}SiO_{4}:Eu$ yellow phosphor+CaS:Eu red phosphor yellow phosphor and CaS:Eu red phosphor, the highest luminescence efficiency was obtained at the 0.03 mol $Ba^{2+}$ concentration. At this time, the white LEDs showed the CCT (5300 K), CRI (89.9) and luminous efficacy (17.34 lm/W).

본 연구에서는 고출력 자동차 헤드램프용 LD 에 적용 가능한 garnet 구조의 YAG : Ce 형광체 세라믹 플레이트를 제작하고 광학 특성을 분석하였다. 액상법을 이용하여 단분산된 구형 나노 YAG : Ce 입자를 합성하고 이를 $Al_2O_3$와 혼합하여 형광체 세라믹 플레이트를 제작하였다. 형광체 세라믹 플레이트의 두께를 $75{\mu}m$, $100{\mu}m$로 조절하여 두께에 따른 광 변환 효율, 열 소광(Thermal quenching), 휘도 및 색온도의 광학 특성을 비교하였다. 실험 결과, 광 변환 효율의 감소 폭은 모두 25 % 감소하였고, 열 소광, 최대 광 변환 효율 값, 최대 휘도 값은 $100{\mu}m$ 일 때 더 높게 나타났다.

We have synthesized a $Eu^{2+}-activated\;{(Sr,Ba)}_2SiO_4$ yellow phosphor and investigated the development of blue LEDs by combining the phosphor with a InGaN blue LED chip (${\lambda}_{em}$=405 nm). The InGaN-based ${(Sr,Ba)}_2SiO_{4}:Eu$ LED lamp shows two bands at 405 nm and 550 nm. The 405 nm emission band is due to a radiative recombination from a InGaN active layer. This 405 nm emission was used as an optical transition of the ${(Sr,Ba)}_2SiO_{4}:Eu$ phosphor. The 550 nm emission band is ascribed to a radiative recombination of $Eu^{2+}$ impurity ions in the ${(Sr,Ba)}_2SiO_4$ host matrix. In the preparation of UV Yellow LED Lamp with ${(Sr,Ba)}_2SiO_{4}:Eu$ yellow phosphor, the highest luminescence efficiency was obtained at the epoxy-to-yellow phosphor ratio of 1:0.45. At this ratio, the CIE chromaticity was x=0.4097 and y=0.5488.

교류 구동 분산형 EL(ACPEL)에 사용되는 ZnS:Cu 청색 형광체를 고상 반응법으로 제조하였다. 1차 소성 후 인위적 결함을 형광체 표면에 도입함으로서 2차 소성 중에 의해 일어나는 ZnS의 상전이 및 EL 발광 휘도에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 즉 1차 소성된 형광체를 ball-mill 공정에서 인위적으로 표면에 defect를 형성시켜 ZnS의 저온상인 cubic으로의 전이가 용이하게 하여 EL구동하에서 발광 휘도를 증가시켰다. Ball-mill의 공정 변수로는 milling 시간과 rpm 등을 고려하여 각 조건에 따른 효과를 고찰하였으며, 발광 spectrum을 측정한 결과, 최적 조건에서 인위적인 결함을 형성하지 않은 형광체 보다 발광 휘도가 약 30% 이상 증가하였다. 또한 각기 다른 ball-mill 조건으로 합성된 형광체의 결정상을 분석하고 비교하였으며 상전이 특성에 따른 발광 휘도 변화를 고찰하였다.

ZnO powder as phosphor was prepared by precipitation method with zinc acetate and ammonia solution and the size and shapes of precipitates were examined with variation of pH and concentration of solution. Its cathodoluminesence properties was evaluated with various heat tratment condition. Optimum con-dition for uniform precipitates was 11.8 of pH and 0.4M of concentration. ZnO:Zn phosphor was obtained by heat treatment of precipitates in reduction atmosphere using ZnS powder. With addition of 20wt% ZnS and 1 hour firing at 1000$^{\circ}C$ the highest cathodoluminescence was obtained.

To realize a high luminous efficacy and a high emission color purity for the white-LEDs, the understanding for luminescence properties of the phosphors is significantly important because the performance of white-LEDs is directly affected by the luminescence properties of the phosphors. In this paper, therefore, we reviewed some commercially available $Eu^{2+}$- and $Ce^{3+}$- activated phosphors and discussed for the luminescence properties of these phosphors.

$Eu^{2+}$-doped $\beta$-SiAlONs ($Si_{6-z}Al_zO_zN_{8-z}:Eu_y$) are recognized as promising phosphor materials to build an white LED for lighting application due to its excellent absorption/emission efficiency in the long wave length region. In this research, the fabrication of $\beta$-SiAlON:Eu plate phosphor by sintering was investigated with fixed Eu content(y) and varied composition of the host lattice(z). The addition of the activator $Eu_2O_3$ lead to enhanced densification by forming the transient liquid phase. The refinement of a composition by the calculated lattice parameter indicated that the measured composition of the fabricated specimens is nearly same to that of designed one. The single phase $\beta$-SiAlON:Eu plate with relative density of 96.4% was achieved by addition of 2 wt% CaO, which implies the possibility of full densification by adjusting the processing variables.
