The change of phosphorescent property with chemical modification and co-doping of Nd as an auxiliary activator in CaAl$_2$$O_4$: Eu\ulcorner, Nd\ulcorner phosphor, employing Nd\ulcornerion(0.6%) and an co-activator maintained its afterglow for 4.5 hours. And also the initial persistent brightness and phosphorescent property were further improved both by substituting Al by B atoms and incorporation of Nd\ulcorner ion. It was found that the persistent time was 30 hours for&Ca(Al_{0.97}\;B_{0.03}) $_2$$O_4$:EU\ulcorner(0.3%), Nd\ulcorner(0.6%) phosphor.

The organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) based on fluorescence have low efficiencies due to the requirement of spin-symmetry conservation. By using the 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)$_3$ and the host materials, we fabricated several devices and investigated the device characteristics.

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.

A decrease in the retro-reflectivity of glass-bead-covered road paint because of a rainwater film significantly reduces the visibility of drivers at night, and has been considered as a critical cause of traffic accidents. For enhanced visibility, the microencapsulation of hydrophobically modified $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$,$Dy^{3+}$ phosphorescent phosphor was carried out via suspension polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA). The effects of surface modification agent and radical initiator types, loading amount of phosphorescent phosphor, and microcapsule size on the phosphor content ($W_{TGA}$) in the luminous poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microcapsules were investigated by thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). It was found that the $W_{TGA}$ value was ranged from 7 wt% to 81 wt%, which suggests suspension polymerization is suitable for the preparation of luminous microcapsules with a wide range of phosphor content. At a lower loading amount of phosphor, the $W_{TGA}$ value obviously increased as the microcapsule size decreased; however, the $W_{TGA}$ values with a higher loading amount of phosphor were less affected by the microcapsule size. The luminous microcapsules with the size range of $425{\sim}710{\mu}m$ were collected and tested as a luminous road lanes. It was found that luminance intensities of the microcapsule-coated plates remained higher than $300mcd/m^2$ for up to 100 s in darkness after 20 min of light emitting diode lamp irradiation. The results suggest that the luminous microcapsules can be a candidate for the replacement of glass beads for enhanced visibility of drivers.

Oxide phosphorescent phosphor has an wide application in ceramic art and decoration due to its chemical and mechanical properties. Here, phosphorescent properties of strontium aluminate phosphor ($SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$) emitting yellowish-green light was investigated with thermal treatment at $1250^{\circ}C$ under air and reducing atmosphere. The characterizations of thermally treated samples were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), fluorescence spectrometer. $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$ still showed a good phosphorescent properties after annealing process in reducing atmosphere, while phosphorescence of $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$ annealed in air seriously degraded, due to oxidation of $Eu^{2+}$ to $Eu^{3+}$ ions. It was also observed that $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$ annealed in reducing atmosphere emitted yellowish-green light during 3 h after being exposed to sunlight.

Recently, the phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have been extensively studied for their high internal quantum efficiency. In this study, we synthesised several phosphorescent metal complexes, and certified their composition using NMR.

A $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor powder with stuffed tridymite structure was synthesized by glycine-nitrate combustion method. The luminescence, formation process and microstructure of the phosphor powder were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The XRD patterns show that the as-synthesized $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor was an amorphous phase. However, a crystalline $SrAl_2O_4 $ phase was formed by calcining at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 4h. From the SEM analysis, also, it was found that the as-synthesized $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor was in irregular porous particles of about 50 ${\mu}m$, while the calcined phosphor was aggregated in spherical particles with radius of about 0.5 ${\mu}m$. The emission spectrum of as-synthesized $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor did not appear, due to the amorphous phase. However, the emission spectrum of the calcined phosphor was observed at 520 nm (2.384eV); it showed green emission peaking, in the range of 450~650 nm. The excitation spectrum of the $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ phosphor exhibits a maximum peak intensity at 360 nm (3.44eV) in the range of 250~480 nm. After the removal of the pulse Xe-lamp excitation (360 nm), also, the decay time for the emission spectrum was very slow, which shows the excellent longphosphorescent property of the phosphor, although the decay time decreased exponentially.

Both photoluminescence and the long-phosphorescent properties for $SrAl_2O_4$ : Eu$^{+2}$, $Dy^{+3}$ phosphor powder synthesized by the solid phase reaction were investigated as a function of $B_2O_3$ composition (0-10 wt%). The highest emission wavelength (520nm) of photoluminescence spectra was not affected by $B_2O_3$concentration. The highest emission intensity was obtained by the concentration of 3 wt% $B_2O_3$.After the removal of the Xenon lamp excitation (360nm), also, the excellent long-phosphorescent property of the phosphors was obtained by the concentration of 3 wt% $B_2O_3$ although the decay times for all phosphors decreased exponentially.
