Red phosphor in glasses (PiGs) for automotive light-emitting diode (LED) applications were fabricated with 620-nm $CaAlSiN_3:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor and Pb-free silicate glass. PiGs were synthesized and mounted on high-power blue LED to make a monochromatic red LED. PiGs were simple mixtures of red phosphor and transparent glass powder. After being fabricated with uniaxial press and CIP at 300 MPa for 20 min, the green bodies were thermally treated at $550^{\circ}C$ for 30 min to produce high dense PiGs. As the phosphor content increased, the density of the sintered body decreased and PiGs containing 30% phosphor had a full sintered density. Changes in photoluminescence spectra and color coordination were studied by varying the thickness of plates that were mounted after optical polishing. As a result of the optical spectrum and color coordinates, PiG plate with $210{\mu}m$ thickness showed a color purity of 99.7%. In order to evaluate the thermal stability, the thermal quenching characteristics were measured at temperatures of $30{\sim}150^{\circ}C$. The results showed that the red PIG plates were 30% more thermally stable compared to the AlGaInP red chip.

Rare earth based calcium aluminate phosphor ($CaAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Nd^{3+}$) supported $TiO_2$ nanoparticles are synthesized by using sol-gel method, which are further characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance UV-Visible spectroscopy (DRS UV-Vis) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD pattern of as-prepared and sintered phosphor supported $TiO_2$ does not show the tendency to change the crystal structure from anatase to rutile phase up to $600^{\circ}C$. This indicates that the phosphor support might inhibit the densification and crystallite growth by providing dissimilar boundaries. The diffuse reflectance spectral (DRS) measurements showed shift towards longer wavelength indicating reduction in the band-gap energy as compared to free $TiO_2$. The FT-IR spectra of phosphor supported $TiO_2$ nanoparticles show shift in the peak positions to lower wavelengths. This indicates that the $TiO_2$ nanoparticles are not free, but covalently bonded to the phosphor support. TEM micrographs show presence of crystalline and spherical $TiO_2$ nanoparticles (8 - 15 nm diameter) dispersed uniformly on the surface of phosphor.

Cerium-activated yttrium aluminate ($Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$) exhibiting a garnet structure has been widely utilized in the production of light emitting diodes (LEDs) as a yellow emitting phosphor. The commercialized yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) phosphor is typically synthesized by a solid-state reaction, which produces irregular shape particles with a size of several tens of micrometers by using the top-down method. To control the shape and size of particles, which had been the primary disadvantage of top-down synthetic methods, we synthesized YAG:Ce nanoparticles with a diameter of 500 nm using a coprecipitation method under the atmospheric pressure without the use of template or special equipment. The precursor particles were formed by refluxing an aqueous solution of the nitrate salts of Y, Al, and Ce, urea, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (55 K) at $100^{\circ}C$ for 12 h. YAG:Ce nanoparticles were formed by the calcination of precursor particles at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 10 h under atmospheric conditions. The phase identification, microstructure, and photoluminescent properties of the products were evaluated by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, absorption spectrum and photoluminescence analyses.

절삭특성은 재료를 원하는 형상으로 가공하기 위해 재료의 불필요한 부분을 제거할 경우 그 가공성이 쉽거나 어려움에 대한 정도로 전의될 수 있는데 동합금 소재의 절삭특성은 절삭시 발생된 칩의 형상이나 길이를 측정하거나 또는 공구계에 부착된 토오크 미터에 의해 절삭력을 간접적으로 측정하는 방법 등이 사용되어 오고 있다. 상기의 평가방 법은 절삭특성의 간접적인 평가방법이라는 한계와 정확도에 문제가 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 압전형 공구동력계(Piezoelectric Tool Dynamometer)를 쾌삭인청동합금 피절삭물에 직접 부착하여 절삭가공시 절삭력은 정량적으로 직접 측정하고자 하였다. 쾌삭인청동합금의 소둔 열처리 시간이 증가할수록 결정립의 성장에 의한 연화현상과 납입자의 군집화(Clustering)는 관찰되었으나 그로 인한 절삭력 및 절삭에 필요한 에너지의 변화는 뚜렷하지 않았다.

The luminescent properties of $Eu^{3+}$ and $Sm^{3+}$ doped potassium tungstate phosphor are investigated. The $K_{4-3x}(WO_4)_2:Eu^{3+}\;_x,Sm^{3+}\;_y$ phosphor is produced by firing the mixed precursors, followed by re-firing with a flux. The re-firing process results in the defect-free surface and uniform growth of the particles. The strong absorption in the region of ultra violet light is observed due to the 4f-4f electron transitions of the $Eu^{3+}$ and $Sm^{3+}$ ions. The doping concentration of europium into potassium tungstate is relatively high, compared to other host materials. It is revealed that the crystal structure is a monoclinic with space group, C2/c. This crystal structure facilitated the $Eu^{3+}$ ions to be located with the Eu-Eu distance larger than 5 ${\AA}$ so that concentration quenching does not occur even at high doping concentration. The excitation spectrum could be adjusted by the introduction of the samarium. A small amount of the $Sm^{3+}$ ions that acts as a sensitizer increases the energy absorption peak around 405 nm.

Monochromatic amber phosphor in glasses (PiGs) for automotive LED applications were fabricated with $YAG:Ce^{3+}$, $CaAlSiN_3:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors and Pb-free silicate glass. After synthesis and thickness-thinning process, PiGs were mounted on high-power blue LED to make monochromatic amber LEDs. PiGs were simple mixtures of 566 nm yellow YAG, 615 nm red $CaAlSiN_3:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor and transparent glass frit. The powders were uniaxially pressed and treated again through CIP (cold isostatic pressing) at 200 MPa for 20 min to increase packing density. After conventional thermal treatment at $550^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, PiGs were applied by using GPS (gas pressure sintering) to obtain a fully dense PiG plate. As the phosphor content increased, the density of the sintered body decreased and PiGs containing 30 wt% phosphor had full sintered density. Changes in photoluminescence spectra and color coordination were investigated by varying the ratio of $YAG/CaAlSiN_3$ and the thickness of the plates. Considering the optical spectrum and color coordinates, PiG plates with $240{\mu}m$ thickness showed a color purity of 98% and a wavelength of about 605 nm. Plates exhibit suitable optical characteristics as amber light-converting material for automotive LED applications.

In order to realize the high luminance and luminous efficacy MFFLs for LCD backlights, we optimized the phosphor profile to enlarge the surface area. The MFFL with the new phosphor profile shows a very wide luminance range from 2,600 to 17,000 nit with the corresponding luminous efficacy from 66 to 32.5 lm/W. The results were obtained with the color coordinate of the phosphor to be around (0.25, 0.23). And the single cell is expanded into a multi-structured configuration to realize a 32 inch-sized lamp by a simple repetition of the single cells, and a new driving scheme is proposed for an adaptive local dimming and scanning drive using dual auxiliary electrodes and bipolar drive scheme. Especially the ultra high luminance and luminous efficacy results suggest the duty time of illumination of the backlight unit can be significantly reduced.

A series of $Eu^{2+}/Mn^{2+}$ co-activated $Ba_{1.98-x}Sr_xZnS_3$ red emission phosphors was synthesized using the polymerizable complex method. The excitation spectra of the materials contain two wide bands centered at 345nm and 445nm, implicating their possible use for white LED lighting applications. In addition, substitution of Sr for Ba by 20% (x=0.4) improved drastically the emission intensity as well as the internal quantum efficiency compared to those for Sr-free $Ba_2ZnS_3:Eu^{2+}/Mn^{2+}$ phosphor.

In this paper, we report on the growth and optical characteristics of white-LED without fluorescent material. The growth of DH(double heterostructure) with AlGaN active layer was performed on a n-GaN/(0001) $Al_{2}O_{3}$ by the mixed-source HVPE and multi-sliding boat. The CRI(color rendering index) of packaging device charged in the range 72-93 with CIE chromaticity coordinates(x=$0.26{\sim}0.34$, y=$0.31{\sim}0.40$). And CCT(correlated color temperature) values was measured $5126{\sim}10406K$ with increasing injection current. The CIE point of conventional phosphor white LED shifts blue region, but cm point of non-phosphor white LED shifts opposite direction. These results show the mixed-source HVPE can be possible to newly fabricate method of phosphor free white LED with high CRI value.

Emission characteristics of terbium-activated $InBO_3$ under cathode-ray(c.r.) and vacuum ultra violet(v.u.v.) irradiation have been investigated as a functions of norminal compositions and firing conditions. From the x-ray analysis, it was found that some of the synthesized samples contained excess $In_2O_3$ and the amount of the excess $In_2O_3$ varied with the norminal composition and heat treatment conditions. The samples with remanent excess $In_2O_3$ showed lower luminescence intensities than the ones free of excess $In_2O_3$. The phosphors of norminal composition of $InBO_3+10mol%B_2O_3:2mol%Tb$ synthesized at $1250^{\circ}C$ showed excellent CL and PL properties.
