Abstract

White light-emitting diodes (W-LEDs) are widely used in displays and lighting due to their advantages of compact size, high efficiency, and long lifespan compared to traditional light sources. Glass-ceramics produced by inducing crystallization in amorphous glass through heating, finds applications in various high-performance fields. Its properties can be tailored through the addition of nucleating agents or phase separation phenomena. By forming nanometer-sized crystals, glass-ceramics can retain its characteristics while maintaining transparency in the visible range, making it suitable for a range of applications including optical switches, optical converters, lasers, medical devices, and sensors. Additionally, glass-ceramics containing rare earth elements, transition metals, quantum dots, and nanocrystals can convert blue or ultraviolet light into visible light, thereby enhancing the performance of W-LEDs. This paper explores the optical properties of glass-ceramics derived from oxide and fluoride glasses, its potential applications in W-LEDs, and recent research trends.

백색 발광 다이오드(W-LED)는 기존의 광원에 비해 소형, 고효율, 긴 수명의 장점으로 디스플레이 및 조명에 널리 사용되고 있다. 결정화유리는 비정질 유리를 가열하여 결정화를 유도한 소재로, 다양한 고성능 분야에 적용되며, 핵형성제 추가나 상분리 현상을 통해 특성을 조절할 수 있다. 나노미터 크기의 결정을 형성하면 가시광선에서 투명성을 유지하면서도 결정화유리의 특성을 보존할 수 있어 광 스위치, 광 변환기, 레이저, 의료 기기, 센서 등 다양한 응용 분야에 적합하다. 또한, 희토류, 전이 금속, 양자점, 나노결정을 포함한 결정화유리는 청색 또는 자외선을 가시광선으로 변환하여 W-LED의 성능을 개선시킬 수 있다. 본 논문은 산화물계 및 불화물계 유리로부터 얻어진 결정화유리의 광학적 특성, W-LED로의 활용 가능성 및 최근 연구 동향을 탐구하였다.
