The purpose of this study is to improve the efficiency of anti-pollution film for PV module. The anti-pollution coating process was performed on a glass substrate, which is the same material as the glass substrate for the PV module. We coated the anti-pollution film on the glass substrate by spray coating. After coating process, annealing process was performed during 1 hour at $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, and $400^{\circ}C$. And then we analyzed the surface characteristics according to the annealing temperature of the film. Annealing process can also improve the durability of the coated film. And then we analyzed the anti-pollution characteristics, particle size of anti-pollution film, light transmittance. The particle size of anti-pollution film was analyzed with FE-SEM. The light transmittance was analyzed with UV-Visible spectroscopy including integrating sphere.

$Fe_2O_3/TiO_2$ nanocomposite were successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method using $Fe(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O$ and $Ti(SO_4)_2$ as raw materials. Structural and textural features of the mixed oxide samples were characterized by X-ray diffractometer, field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray. The effects of initial concentration of oxytetracycline (OTC), different competitive ions and organics on the photocatalytic degradation rate of OTC by the $Fe_2O_3/TiO_2$ nanocomposite were analyzed under UV and visible light irradiation. The results indicate that the optimized initial concentration of OTC was 50 mg/L to achieve the best photocatalytic efficiency. $Cu^{2+}$, $NH_4{^+}$, $C_3H_8O$ and EDTA in the aqueous suspension were found to suppress the degradation rate of OTC, whereas the effect of $NO_3{^-}$ and $H_2C_2O_4$ can be ignored.

Transparent In-doped zinc oxide (IZO) thin films are deposited with variation of pulsed DC power at Ar atmosphere on coming 7059 glass substrate by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering. A c-axis oriented IZO thin films were grown in perpendicular to the substrate. The optical transmittance spectra showed high transmittance of over 80% in the UV-visible region and exhibited the absorption edge of about 350 nm. Also, the IZO films exhibited the resistivity of ${\sim}10^{-3}{\Omega}\;cm$ and the mobility of ${\sim}6cm/V\;s$. Organic Light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with IZO/N,N'-diphenyl-N, N'-bis(3-methylphenl)-1, 1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD)/tris (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum ($Alq_3$)/LiF/Al configuration were fabricated. LiF layer inserted is used as an interfacial layer to increase the electron injection. Under a current density of $100\;mA/cm^2$, the OLEDs show an excellent efficiency (9.4 V turn-on voltage) and a good brightness ($12000\;cd/m^2$) of the emission light from the devices. These results indicate that IZO films hold promise for anode electrodes in the OLEDs application.

We present a polarization-dependent prism array film for controlling the viewing angle distribution of liquid crystal (LC) display panels without loss of light efficiency. On a directional backlight unit, our polarization-dependent prism array film, made into a stacked bilayer with a well-aligned liquid crystalline reactive mesogen (RM) layer on the UV-imprinted prism structure, can continuously control the light refraction function of the prism array by electrically switching incident polarization states of a polarization-controlling layer prepared by a twisted nematic LC mode. The viewing angle control properties of the polarization-dependent prism array film are analyzed under different prism angle and refractive index conditions of the RM layer. A simple analytic model is also presented to describe the intermediate viewing angle distributions with continuously varying applied voltages and incident polarization states.

발광다이오드는 에너지 변환 효율이 높고 친환경적인 장점으로 인하여 차세대 조명용 광원으로 각광받고 있다. 하지만 현재 발광다이오드는 낮은 광추출효율로 인하여 미래의 수요를 충족시킬 수 있을 만큼 충분한 성능의 효율을 나타내지 못하고 있다. 발광다이오드의 낮은 광추출효율은 반도체소재와 외부 공기와의 큰 굴절률 차이로 인하여 발생하는 전반사 현상에 기인한 것으로 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 발광다이오드 소자의 발광면 및 기판을 텍스처링하는 방법이 중요하게 인식되고 있다. 하지만 현재까지 패턴의 구조에 따른 광추출 특성을 분석한 연구는 미진한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 임프린팅 및 건식식각 공정을 이용하여 다양한 구조의 나노 및 micron 급 패턴을 발광다이오드의 p-GaN층에 형성하였다. 발광다이오드 기판 위에 하드마스크로 사용하기 위한 SiO2를 50nm 증착한 후 그 위에 UV 임프린팅 공정을 진행하여 폴리머 패턴을 형성시켰다. 임프린팅 공정으로 형성된 폴리머 패턴을 CF4CHF3 플라즈마를 이용하여 SiO2를 건식식각하였고, 이후에 SiCl4와 Ar 플라즈마를 이용한 ICP 식각 공정을 진행하여 p-GaN층을 100nm 식각하였다. 마지막으로 BOE를 이용한 습식식각 공정으로 p-GaN층에 남아있는 SiO2층을 제거하여 p-GaN층에 sub-micron에서 micron급의 홀 패턴을 형성하였다. Photoluminescence(PL) 측정을 통해서 발광다이오드 소자에 형성된 패턴의 구조에 따른 광추출 특성을 분석하였다.

In this study, N doped $TiO_2$ (TiO-N) thin film was prepared by DC magnetron sputtering method to show the photocatalytic activity in a visible range. Various gases (Ar, $O_2\;and\;N_2$) were used and Ti target was impressed by 1.2 kW -5.8 kW power range. The hysteresis of TiO-N thin film as a function of discharge voltage wasn't observed in 1.2 and 2.9kW of applied power. Cross sections and surfaces of thin films by FE-SEM were tiny and dense particle sizes of both films with normal cylindrical structures. XRD pattern of $TiO_2$ and TiO-N thin films was appeared by only anatase peak. Red shift in UV-Vis adsorption spectra was investigated TiO-N thin film. Photoactivity was evaluated by removal rate measurement of suncion yellow among reactive dyes. The photodegradation rate of $TiO_2$ thin film on visible radiation was shown little efficiency but TiO-N was about 18%.

We prepared blocking layers by adding 0.0 ~ 0.6 wt% nano diamond blends (DBs) to $TiO_2$ blocking layers to improve the energy conversion efficiencies (ECEs) of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). TEM and micro-Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the microstructure and phases of DBs, respectively. Optical microscopy and FE-SEM were used to analyze the microstructure of the $TiO_2$ blocking layer with DBs. UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy was used to determine the absorbance of the working electrodes. A solar simulator and a potentiostat were used to determine the photovoltaic properties and the impedance of the DSSCs with DBs. From the results of the DBs analysis, we determined a 6.97 nm combination of nano diamonds and graphite. We confirmed that ECE increased from 5.64 to 6.48 % when the added DBs increased from 0.0 to 0.2 wt%. This indicates that the effective surface area and electron mobility increased when DBs were added to the $TiO_2$ blocking layer. Our results indicate that the ECE of DSSCs can be enhanced by adding an appropriate amount of DBs to the $TiO_2$ blocking layers.

Paclitaxel is an effective antineoplastic drug for various cancers especially ovarian and breast cancer. This study is to find the optimum condition for the preparation of nanoemulsions and to improve the stability and loading amount of paclitaxel in nanoemulsions. Nanoemulsions were prepared by modified spontaneous emulsification solvent diffusion method. It was composed of phosphatidylcholine:cholesterol:1,2-Distearoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphoethanolamine-N-[Metoxy (Polyethylene glycol)-2000]:paclitaxel at a weight ratio of 5:3:1:1 and the Tween 80 as a surfactant. The particle size and the shape of nanoemulsions were measured by particle analyzer and SEM, respectively. The loading amount of paclitaxel in nanoemulsion was measured by UV-visible spectroscopy at 227 nm. The particle sizes were $80{\sim}120\;nm$ and the loading efficiency of paclitaxel was $8{\sim}39%$. The optimum conditions for the preparation of nanoemulsions were 8% w/w phospholipid, 16% w/v Tween 80 and 2% w/w paclitaxel, respectively.

[ $TiO_2$ ] is widely used because it is non-toxic. Recently, however, nanometer size $TiO_2$ particles (P-25) have been produced and used to increase the photo catalysis efficiency. Nanometer-sized $TiO_2$ is efficient, but due to its small size ($20{\sim}30\;nm$), it can flow into ecosystems and into cells. Thus, it may affect human health. Additionally, $TiO_2$ can produce a second contaminant, OH-radical, which is a health risk for all living organisms during photo degradation reaction. Hence, when nanometer-sized $TiO_2$ flows into natural streams and attaches to living organisms, it will create health risks. We investigated the biological toxicity of this condition in zebrafish embryos. We observed abnormal morphology, hatching rate, and measured the catalase activity to determine anti-oxidation at 100 post fertilization hours. Zebrafish were somewhat affected by $TiO_2$ nanometer sized particles under UV-A (a condition similar to sunlight). Powdered $TiO_2$ is toxic to the zebrafish fly. Even without light, $TiO_2$ particles attached to embryos and flies, having an effect on both.
