The human eye is exposed to UV and visible light. UV light exposure becomes harmful to the eye. Protection for eyes should block all ultraviolet rays. In our study, organic-inorganic hybrid materials have been applied to UV blocking coatings with UV absorbing materials on transparent plastics. The optical properties of UV blocking coatings were investigated in PMMA, CR 39 and PC substrates. In case of all UV absorbers, the transmission of UV light decreases with an increased amount of absorber. Our findings indicate that PMMA significantly reduced the transmission of UV radiation, CR 39 showed moderate decrease, while UV-uncoated PC had some UV blocking properties. Adhesion, hot water resistance and chemical resistance of the UV-coated CR 39 lenses were good. Pencil hardness were 4H. Abrasion resistance were poor.

The yellow base polymer light emitting diodes(PLEDs) with double emission and hole blocking layers were prepared to improve the light efficiency. ITO(indium tin oxide) and PEDOT : PSS[poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrene sulfolnate)] were used as cathode and hole transport materials. The PFO[poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene)] and MEH-PPV[poly(2-methoxy-5(2-ethylhe xoxy)-1,4-phenylenevinyle)] were used as the light emitting host and guest materials, respectively. TPBI[Tpbi1,3,5-tris(N-phenylbenzimidazol-2-yl)benzene] was used as hole blocking layer. To investigate the optimization of device structure, we prepared four kinds of PLED devices with different structures such as single emission layer(PFO : MEH-PPV), two double emission layer(PFO/PFO : MEH-PPV, PFO : MEH-PPV/PFO) and double emission layer with hole blocking layer(PFO/PFO : MEH-PPV/TPBI). The electrical and optical properties of prepared devices were compared. The prepared PLED showed yellow emission color with CIE color coordinates of x = 0.48, y = 0.48 at the applied voltage of 14V. The maximum luminance and current density were found to be about 3920 cd/$m^2$ and 130 mA/$cm^2$ at 14V, respectively for the PLED device with the structure of ITO/PEDOT : PSS/PFO/PFO : MEH-PPV/TPBI/LiF/Al.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of blocking of blue light of the tips and goggles of the curing light during the dental treatment using the blue light of the light curing. The light curing tips and goggles were placed on a UV-Vis spectrometer and the results of light transmission were analyzed. Comparative analysis. As a result, all four types of light curing tips used in the analysis showed excellent blue light blocking effect. In the case of safety goggles, red-type goggles showed blue light transmittance similar to those of light curing than yellow-type goggles. As a result, it is recommended that the attachment of the light curing with high degree of blue light blocking and the wearing of safety glasses are necessary to protect the eyes. This behavior is thought to reduce persistent irritation and fatigue in the eyes.

This study was carried out to assess inhibitory effects of light-blocking on water quality and phytoplankton community in Lake Juam from August to November 2000. The values of water temperature, DO, TN, $NO_3-N$, $NH_4-N$, TP, DIP, COD, SS and PH did not show clear differences between inside and outside light-blocked areas. Concentrations of Chl-a decreased -6.6${\sim}$40% (mean 14.7%) from inside of the light-blocked area by light blocking. During the study, 55 species of phytoplankton were indentified, and the dominant species were Microcystis aeruginosa, Aulacoseira granulata, Peridinium sp., Synedra spp., Oscillatoria sp., Fragilaria construens, and Trachelomonas sp. The successional pattern of dominant phytoplankton was diatoms (July)${\to}$ diatoms/cyanophytes (August-September)${\to}$cyanophytes (October)${\to}$ diatoms (October-November). The standing crop of phytoplankton showed maximum density in 22 September with $1.1{\times}10^4$cells/L, and minimum in 25 October with $4.7{\times}10^3$ cells/L. The decreasing efficiency of standing crop by light-blocking was 8${\sim}$38% (mean 19.9%). Through this study we found that blocking light seems to have a decreasing effect on the density of phytoplankton.

This paper is to study the characteristics of fabrics dyed with astringent unripe persimmon juice. The cotton silk rayon and nylon fabrics were dyed with astringet unripe persimmon juice. The structures of natural fabrics dyed fabrics and dyed fabrics followed by washing were examined by scanning electron mi-croscopy. Surface reflexibility of VIS trans-mittance of UV VIS and NIR were analyzed. The study conclues as follows: 1. Colour of cotton fabrics dyed with persim-mon juice became darkended as a function of exposing time to sunlight. That colour was chaged after washing. 2. Blocking effect of ultraciolet light and visible ray was increased in all dyed fabrics. Especially dyed cotton fabric blocked UV light perfectly and the blocking effect was still remained after 9 washings. 3. Persimmon juice dyeing produced coating effect to fabrics besides dyeing effect accord-ing to the scanning electron micrographs. In a word the cotton fabric dyed with per-simmon juice has blocking effect of UV light stiffness. Therefore I think persimmon juice dyeing is a very useful textile finishing and ex-pect a wide application of the technique in fu-ture.

An advanced TFT-LCD structure was proposed to increase aperture ratio (AR). In this structure, metal layers formed below the data lines are used as light-blocking layers, achieving higher AR ratio than that of a conventional structure. Since average misalignment between the metal light-blocking layers and pixel electrodes is smaller than that of black matrixes on color filter glass, substantially less light-blocking areas are needed to achieve misalignment margin. The AR of the LCD panel fabricated by using proposed structure was enhanced by 18.7 % over that of the conventionally structured panel.

The reduced ratio of red:far-red (R:FR) light acts as a measure of the proximity of competitors and plants can detect the potentially competing neighbor plants by perceiving reflected R:FR signals and initiate the response of “shade avoidance” before actual shading occurs. The phytochrome system is responsible for monitoring the changes in the R:FR and initiating the shade avoidance response. The response to low R:FR ratio was studied in a white aspen Populus alba clone ‘Bolleana’ using two filter systems: a clear plastic filter system that allows a R:FR ratio less than 1.0 to pass from adjacent border plant reflection; and a special commercial plastic that blocks FR light and creates a R:FR ratio above 3.0. The reduced R:FR signals enhanced the stem elongation in response to competition at the expense of relative stem diameter growth. Trees grown inside clear chambers were 27 ％ taller than trees grown inside the FR-blocking filter chambers. Stem taper of clear chamber trees was 16％ less than the FR-blocking filter trees. Low R:FR also induced 22％ more stem dry weight and 13％ greater petiole length per leaf compared to the FR-blocking filter trees. There were no statistically significant differences in leaf area, leaf number increment, and total dry weight between the two light filter treatments.

High-efficiency white organic light-emitting diodes(WOLEDs) were fabricated with two emissive layers and an blocking layer was sandwiched between two phosphorescent dopants, bis(3,5-difluoro-2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl-(2-carboxypyridyl) iridium III(FIrpic) as the blue emission and a newly synthesized red phosphorescent material guest, bis(5-acetyl-2-phenylpyridinato-N,C2') acetylacetonate($(acppy)_2Ir(acac)$). This blocking layer prevented a T-T annihilation in a red emissive layer, and balanced with blue and red emission as blocking of hole carriers. The white device showed Commission Internationale d'Eclairage($CIE_{x,y}$) coordinates of (0.317, 0.425) at 22400 $cd/m^2$, a maximum luminance of 27300 $cd/m^2$ at 268 $mA/cm^2$, a maximum luminous efficiency and power efficiency of 26.9 cd/A and 18.6 lm/W.

In order to achieve white emission from organic light emitting devices (OLEDs), five distinct structures were fabricated and tested. The white emission was obtained using two different color-emitting materials (yellow from rubrene-doped $Alq_3$ and blue from DPVBi) with or without a carrier-blocking layer. For enhancing the red emission, two types of devices with three-color emitting materials were fabricated. The white emission, close to the CIE coordinate of (0.3,0.3), was achieved by using two blocking layers as well that as without a blocking layer. This paper covers the subject of controlling the location of exciton recombination zone. It has been found that there is a trade-off in that the devices with three color emitting layers do not show as much luminescence efficiency compared to those with two color emitting layers, but rather, show distinct red emission in the resultant emission spectra. The highest power efficiency was measured to be 1.15lm/W at 2,000 $cd/m^2$ for a structure with two color-emitting layers.
