A polarizing spectacle lens having a perfect blocking of ultraviolet light and a partial blocking of blue light and having photochromic properties has been developed. It is a functional spectacle lens which can be used as a spectacle lens in the daytime, which plays a role of sunglass in a space with strong ultraviolet rays, dramatically reducing glare caused by late-night driving or reflected light. Photochromism was recovered in 0.5 second dark reaction and 3 seconds recovery time. The polarization function was about 95%. Ultraviolet rays were completely blocked and blue light was reduced by about 30%. A lens that combines photochromic and UV blocking and polarization functions is the first attempt at investigating the domestic market.

In order to express the natural color in organic light emitting diode(OLED), red, green, and blue luminescent materials are needed. While lots of red and green emitters are searched actively, not many useful blue emitters are found yet. It is due to the high energy gap for the blue emission. This research is about a synthesis of the blue emitting compound with high emission efficiency and thermal stability, which starts with carbazole and anthracene. Carbazole with bulky substituent, tert-butyl group, is connected directly to electroluminescent and thermally stable anthracene. The distance between the hole transporting group and the electron transporting group are studied for the relevance to the luminescence.

백색 유기발광소자를 제작하기 위한 여러 가지 유기물층을 사용할 때 제작공정이 어려워지고 유기발광소자의 발광 효율이 저하되고 색안정성이 나빠지는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Zn2SiO4:Mn 무기물 형광체를 사용한 유무기 혼성 유기발광소자를 제작하고 발광 메카니즘을 조사하였다. 색변환층으로 사용되는 Zn2SiO4:Mn 형광체는 졸겔 방법을 사용하여 형성하고 비이클용액 및 열처리 공정을 사용하여 유리기판 위에 도포하였다. 형성된 Zn2SiO4:Mn 형광체 층에 대하여 X선 회절측정한 결과는 형광체내의 Zn 이온이 도핑된 Mn 이온에 대체되었음을 보여준다. 제작된 진청색 OLED의 전계발광 스펙트럼은 461 nm 에서 peak 을 나타내고 Zn2SiO4:Mn 무기물 형광체는 470 nm에서 여기 되어 Mn 이온의 4T1-6A1 전이에 의하여 527 nm에서 발광을 한다. Zn2SiO4:Mn 무기물 형광체를 사용한 유기발광소자의 전계발광스펙트럼에서 나타나는 527nm peak 은 Zn2SiO4:Mn 무기물의 색변환에 의해 나타난 결과로서 제작된 유기발광소자에서 발광된 빛을 청색에서 녹색으로 변환한 결과이다. Zn2SiO4:Mn 무기물 색변환층을 사용하여 제작된 무기물/유기물 유기발광소자의 발광 메카니즘은 전계발광스펙트럼 및 광루미네센스 스펙트럼 결과를 기초로 설명하였다. 이 결과는 녹색 무기물 형광체를 진청색 유기발광소자와 결합하여 제작된 유기발광소자의 발광색을 조절할 수 있음을 보여주었다.

유기발광소자는 고휘도, 넓은 시야각, 빠른 응답속도, 높은 색재현성, 좋은 유연성의 소자 특성 때문에 디스플레이 제품에 많이 응용되고 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 최근에 저소비전력, 고휘도, 소형화 및 장수명의 장점을 가진 유기발광소자의 상용화가 진행되면서 차세대 디스플레이소자로서 관심을 끌게 되었다. 최근에는 고효율의 장점을 가지는 무기 형광체와 양자점을 이용한 백색 유기발광 소자에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있으나 색 안정성이 좋지 않은 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 적색 빛을 방출하는 CdSe/ZnS 양자점과 녹색 빛을 방출하는 YAG:Ce3+ 무기 형광체를 포함하는 polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)를 색변환층으로 이용하여 청색 유기발광소자에 결합한 백색 유기발광소자를 제작하였다. CdSe/ZnS 양자점과 YAG:Ce3+ 무기 형광체의 광흡수대역은 250 nm에서 500 nm이므로 470 nm의 청색 발광소자의 청색 빛을 흡수하여 색변환층에서 재 발광할 때 색 변환 결과를 무기 형광체와 양자점의 여러 가지 혼합 비율에 따라 전계발광 스펙트럼을 통해 관측하였다. 또한, 전압을 12 V 에서 16 V까지 변화하였을 때 색좌표가 (0.32, 0.34)에서 (0.30, 0.33)으로 적은 변화를 보여 높은 색안정성을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이 연구 결과는 양자점과 무기 형광체를 혼합한 색변환층을 이용한 백색 유기발광소자의 색 변환 효율 증가와 색안정성에 대한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다.

The white OLED is fabricated with the anthracene-based blue emitting material, 9-(2-naphthyl)-10-(p-tolyl)anthracene (2-NTA) in various volume-ratios of orange dopant, rubrene, which results in pure white emission with C.I.E. coordinate of ~(0.32, 0.39). The devices with <1.5% rubrene show better EL properties (efficiency) than >3% devices. Furthermore the turn-on voltage of 2-NTA WOLED (3.7 V) is lower than that of 2-NTA blue OLED (5.4 V) at the same condition. Conclusively 2-NTA with rubrene less than 1.5% (v/v) could be utilized for the pure WOLED.

We have studied the mycelia growth of four soil-borne fungal pathogens under light qualities and two lighting types (continuous and intermittent) provided by light-emitting diodes (LEDs). As a result, each mycelia growth on Phytophthora cactorum KACC40166, Athelia rolfsii KACC40170, and Helicobasidium mompa KACC40836 strain showed the similar growth rates within 10% or less difference among treatments compared to dark control, regardless of lighting types. However, the mycelia growth on Rosellinia necatrix KACC40168 strain was significantly suppressed by blue, blue+green and blue+red LED as well as fluorescent lamp compared to a dark control, in common with lighting types. The melanin pigment on R. necatrix KACC40168 strain showed relatively to induce more strongly under green LED and fluorescent lamp, whereas no induction under red LED and a control, regardless of lighting types. Thus, the hypha width on R. necatrix KACC40168 was significantly thinned by blue and blue+green LED compared to a control, in common with lighting types.

The action Spectra for violaxanthin de-epoxidation and zeaxanthin expoxidation in New Zealand spinach leaf segments Tetragonia expansa, were determined at equal incident quanta of $2.0{\times}10^{15}$ quanta $cm^{-2}$ $second^{-1}$. The action spectrum for de-epoxidation had major peaks at approximately 180 and 648 nm. Blue light was slightly more effective than red light and little activity was observed beyond 700 nm. The action spectrum for epoxidation showed major peaks at around 441 and 670 nm. Blue light was more effective than red light and light beyond 700 nm showed definite activity. The net result of de-epoxidation and epoxidation is a cyclic scheme, the violaxanthin cycle, which consumes $O_2$ and photoproducts. The action spectra indicate that the violaxanthin cycle is more active m clue than in red light and therefore could accout for $O_2$ uptake stimulated by blue light. The differences between the action spectra for de-epoxidation suggest that possibly two photosynthetic systems are involved. It was suggested that the violaxanthin cycle may functional a pathway for the consumption of excess photoproducts generated in blue light or the conversion of these photoproducts to other forms of energy.

Growth and anthocyanins of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L., 'Mid-season') grown under LED lamps with blue light in the range of 430-470 nm or with red light in the range of 630-670 nm were analyzed in this study. Cool-white fluorescent light was used a s the control. P hotosynthetic photon flux, p hotoperiod, air temperature, relative humidity, and $CO_2$ concentration in a closed plant production system were $201{\pm}2\;{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, 16/8 hours (day/night), $22/18^{\circ}C$, 70%, and $400{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$, respectively. At 21 days after light quality treatment, growth characteristics and anthocyanins content of lettuce as affected by the peak wavelength of blue or red LED were significantly different. Among peak wavelengths treated in this stusy, R1 treatment (peak wavelength 634 nm) and R6 treatment (peak wavelength 659 nm) were effective for increasing leaf width, leaf area, shoot fresh weight, and photosynthetic rate of lettuce. B5 treatment (peak wavelength 450 nm) and B4 treatment (peak wavelength 446 nm) increased the anthocyanins concentration and chlorophyll content in lettuce leaves, respectively. Anthocyanins in lettuce leaves increased linearly with decreasing hue value of leaf color and with increasing SPAD value of lettuce leaves. From these results, it was concluded that the red LED with peak wavelengths of 634 nm and 659 nm and the blue LED with peak wavelengths of 450 nm can be used as potential light spectra for increasing the yield and anthocyanins accumulation of leafy vegetable.

Water Footprint is utilized to analyze direct and indirect water consumption for sustainable water resource management. This study aims to understand potential applicability of water footprint concept by analyzing the status of water consumption and related water policies in Seoul. We analyzed a direct gray water footprint and the blue water footprint in Seoul affected by the social and economic characteristics of the consumers in the city. In particular, in order to analyze the blue water footprint represented by both surface and underground water for the provision and consumption of products, we calculated the actual water consumptions of surface and underground water for 25 districts in Seoul. Our analysis in consideration of population and households indicates that Jung-gu has the highest blue water footprint followed by Jongro-gu, Gangnam-gu, Yongsan-gu, and Seocho-gu. Gray water footprint was calculated by estimating the amount of water for purifying wastewater to meet the water quality standard (above BOD 3.5ppm) for each district. As a result, Jung-gu has the highest gray water footprint, followed by Jongro-gu, Gangnam-gu, Yongsan-gu, Seocho-gu, and Youngdeungpo-gu. Our study suggests the potential value of using water footprint concept to complement the current limitations of water use management focusing on water supply control. We expect that our analysis will provide an important basis for considering water use management which is economically and socially more resilient and sustainable.

We have synthesized a $CaMgSi_2O_6:Eu^{2+}$ blue phosphor via a solid-state reaction method. The $CaMgSi_2O_6:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor has monoclinic structure with a space group of C2/c (15), and an emission band peaking at 450 nm (blue) due to the $4f^7-4f^65d$ transition of the $Eu^{2+}ion$. The emission intensity at $100^{\circ}C$ is 54% of the value at room temperature. A white LED was fabricated by integrating a UV LED (400 nm) with our blue phosphor plus two commercial green and red phosphors. The white LED shows a color temperature of 3500 K with a color rendering index of 87 (x = 0.3936, y = 0.3605), and a luminous efficiency of 18 lm/W. The white LED shows a luminance maintenance of 97% after operation at 350 mA for 400 hours at $85^{\circ}C$.
