We have realized static image on organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) using photoluminescence degradation. Ultraviolet (UV) was irradiated to the glass side of device. UV power was 350 Wand the wavelength was 365 nm. The UV irradiation gives rise to the degradation of photoluminescence. Due to the degradation, the current density-voltage curve was shifted to the higher voltage side and the luminescence was also degraded by the current and photoluminescence drop. The negative imaged films were prepared to control the transmittance of UV. The UV light was passed through the film. By this method, the film image was transferred to the device with reversed image and the static image was realized on the OLED.

Given a cubic space, it is easy to uniformly illuminate the floor with light sources placed on top. However, little has been reported about uniform illumination on walls with the same configuration of light sources. Here we present a luminaire consisting of nine light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with perfect Lambertian distribution, placed on the top as a 3 × 3 rectangular LED array. The distances between LEDs and tilt angles of each individual LED are adjustable and optimized by an annealing algorithm. After optimization, the array produces a rectangular illumination pattern on one wall with a uniformity of about 89%. Analysis shows that the tilt angles of individual LEDs are key parameters for uniform side illumination. In a scenario that is more practical, the tilt angles of all the LEDs are set to be the same, only decreasing the uniformity to 83%.

This study investigates the optical characteristics of InGaN multiple quantum wells(MQWs) light emitting diodes(LEDs) on planar sapphire substrates(PSSs), nano-sized PSS(NPSS) and micro-sized PSS(MPSS). We obtain the results as the patterning size of the sapphire substrates approach the nanometer scale: The light from the back side of the device increases and the total light extraction becomes larger than the MPSS- and planar-LEDs. The experiment is conducted by Monte Carlo ray-tracing, which is regarded as one of the most suitable ways to simulate light propagation in LEDs. The results show fine consistency between simulation and measurement of the samples with different sized patterned substrates. Notably, light from the back side becomes larger in the NPSS LEDs. We strongly propose that the increase in the light intensity of NPSS LEDs is due to an abnormal optical distribution, which indicates an increase of extraction probability through NPSS.

Novel non-conjugated blue light-emitting copolymers containing perylene and triazine moieties as light emitting and electron transporting units, respectively in the polymer side chain were synthesized. The resulting copolymers were soluble in most organic solvents such as chlorobenzene, THF, chloroform and benzene. The single-layered electroluminescence (EL) device consisting of indium tin oxide (ITO) /copolymer/aluminium (Al) exhibited a maximum external quantum efficiency ($0.003\%$) and a good carrier balance when the triazine content was $30\%$. In particular, the device emitted blue light (479 nm) corresponding to the emission of perylene moiety. The drive voltage was observed at 5 V and the CIE coordinate was x=0.16, y=0.17.

New blue emitting materials of o,p-TP-EPY and m,m-TP-EPY were synthesized using two terphenyl units with different structures in the new core of indenopyrazine. EL spectrum of o,p-TP-EPY was more blue shifted than m,m-TP-EPY, and external quantum efficiency of o,p-TP-EPY was showed improvement of about 60% compared to efficiency of m,m-TP-EPY.

Three types of conjugated polymers, poly(PZ-Pi), poly(PZ-BPI) and poly(PZ-NPI) were synthesized by Schiff-base reaction. These new conjugated polymers exhibited improved solubility in common organic solvents due to the presence of alkyl side chains as well as azomethine groups, Double layer LEDs made with the synthesized polymers as emitting layer and $Alq_3$, as electron transporting layer exhibited enhanced EL emission and efficiency compared to those of single layer LEDs. Double layer LEDs exhibited gradual shift in the emission peak th the single layer LED, made of only $Alq_3$ as the emitting layer as the thickness of $Alq_3$ layer increased.

Burns are one of the most extensive injuries of soft tissues as well as skin, occasionally resulting in extensive, deep wounds and death. Burn wounds can lead to severe physical and psychological distress because of excessive scarring and skin contractures. Treatment of burn wounds has always been a challenging problem and many different methods have been used to treat such injuries. We report here on treating a patient with a burn wound using 830-nm light emitting diode (LED) phototherapy combined with epidermal growth factor (EGF) solution. After five daily sessions of LED with EGF solution treatment, the patient demonstrated nearly complete improvement with no remarkable side effects. We suggest that LED phototherapy combined with EGF solution could be an effective and safe treatment option for treating burn wounds.

We have synthesized a novel carrier transporting copolymer having triphenylamine moiety as a hole transporting unit and triazine moiety as an electron transporting unit in the polymer side chain. Single-layered organic electroluminescent (EL) devices consisted of ITO/copolymer and emitting materials (DCM, coumarin 6, DPvBi)/Al exhibited maximum external quantum efficiency when the ratio of hole transporting unit and electron transporting unit is 6:4 and the content of emitting material is 30 wt%. Especially, the devices emitted the light of red (620 nm), green (520 nm) and blue (450 nm) corresponding to the emitting materials, respectively. A maximum luminance of ITO/copolymer (6:4) and DCM (30 wt%)/Al EL device was about 500 cd/$m^2$ at a DC drive voltage of 12V.

We propose an efficient high voltage level shifter for a high side Buck converter driving a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp. The proposed circuit is comprised of a low voltage pulse width modulation (PWM) signal driver, a coupling capacitor, a resistor, and a diode. The proposed method uses a property of a PWM signal. The property is that the signal repeatedly transits between a low and high level at a certain frequency. A low voltage PWM signal is boosted to a high voltage PWM signal through a coupling capacitor using the property of the PWM signal, and the boosted high voltage PWM signal drives a p-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistor on the high side Buck converter. Experimental results show that the proposed level shifter boosts a low voltage (0 to 20 V) PWM signal at 125 kHz to a high voltage (370 to 380 V) PWM signal with a duty ratio of up to 0.9941.
