This study was conducted to evaluate effects of various eco light sources with various lighting distance in 'Viking' rose (Rosa spp.) on the growth and flowering quality to be applied for farm sites. Treatment included 10-, 20-, and 30-RL (-BL, -RBL, -FL, and -IL), which referred to red LED (blue LED, red+blue LED, fluorescent, and incandescent) lighting at 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm respectively, apart from flowers. NL referred to natural light as a control. Growth and flowering of 'Viking' rose were non-destructively measured at 4, 6, and 8 weeks after treatment (WAT). FL treatment increased plant height at 4, 6, and 8 WAT, regardless of lighting distance, with the shortest height observed for the NL-treated flowers. 30 RL treatment also increased plant height at 6 and 8 WAT. Stem diameter and number of leaves were not significantly different for all the treatments at 8 WAT, with the lowest values observed for RBL treated-flowers among the light source treatments. Number of root was the greatest for the 30 BL-treated flowers (10.0) but the fewest for the 30 FL (4.7). Length of flower neck at 6 WAT was the extended by 6~7 cm in the 10 FL and 20 FL treatments as well as by 5~6 cm in the 20 RL and 30 RL treatments, inducing 100% of flowering. NL increased $a^*$ (29) of flower color, with the lowest value (10) observed for 20 RL. All things considered, 30 RL would be the best interaction treatment of source and distance of eco light to improve plant height and flowering quality of 'Viking' rose.

최근 10여년 사이에 III-nitride 화합물 반도체가 전 세계적으로 주목을 받고 있다. 이는 질화물의 조성에 따라 자외선 영역에서 가시 광선의 전 파장, 측 자색에서 적색 영역대의 광소자 및 고온 고출력 전자소자에 쓰일 수 있기 때문이다. 지금까지 고휘도의 청색, 녹색 LED(Light Emitting Diode)는 상용화되어 있어, UC LD(Ultra-Violet Laser Diode)는 10,000 시간 상온 연속 발진에 성공하여 상용화의 단계에 이르고 있다. 그러나 많은 연구 투입에 비례하여 얻어지는 결과물의 효율은 그리 높지 않은 분야로 LED를 수준 급으로 상용화하는 곳은 세계에서 5개정도로 국한되면, 그 기술이 전파됨이 그리 쉽지 않다. LD(laser Diode)의 경우 상용화 초기 단계로 보편적 신뢰성을 확보하기까지는 또 다른 breakthrough 확보가 필요하며, 궁극적인 기술 전개는 기판을 해결하는 것에서 올 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 III-nitride 반도체 소자 개발을 가능하게 한 MOCVD(Metaloganic Chemical Vapor Deposition) 결정 성장 방법과, 기존에 사용화 되어 있는 LED 소자 특성 및 국내외 개발 동향 및 향후 발전 방향을 소개하고자 한다.

Trichromatic LED backlight renders higher colour gamut and panel transmittance to the LCDs than the phosphor-converted white LED backlight. In realization, however, several technical challenges arise, such as colour shift, due to the ambient temperature change, brightness decrease along with the temperature increase, colour mixing, minimizing the total number of chips and so on. In this paper we designed and tested the low cost temperature compensating circuit, using a thermistor as a temperature compensating element, for stabilizing the brightness and maintaining the colour coordinates of the trichromatic backlight units. By applying the temperature compensating circuit, the decrement rate of the brightness and colour shift rate were achieved by 54% and 51% respectively comparing with uncompensated case.

우리나라에서의 대마는 마약류로 분류되어 기호용과 의료용 모두 법적인 제재를 받아왔으나 최근에 의료용 대마가 법적으로 허용이 되어 환자들에게 처방 받을 수 있게 되었다. 하지만 우리나라 사람들에게 대마는 환각성분을 가진 마약류로 깊이 인식되어 왔으며 의료용 대마에 대한 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 노지재배에서 발생할 수 있는 범죄의 위험성, 자연교배에 의한 품질저하를 피할 수 있으며 재배조건(양액, 광조건, 광주기, 대기환경조성) 등을 제어할 수 있는 밀폐형 LED 식물공장은 의료용 대마 생산에 제일 적합한 모델이 될 수 있다. 식물체의 광합성은 가시광선 중 특정 파장 450nm 청색광과 660nm 적생광을 주로 이용하며 'LED (Light Emitting Diode) 발광다이오드'는 식물체의 광합성에 적합한 파장으로 광원을 조사할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 LED를 이용한 광합성은 식물체의 2차 대사물질 Anthocyanins, phenolic compounds 등의 향상과 생육에도 긍정적인 영향을 미치며 식물 뿐만 아니라 광합성을 하는 미세조류(micro algae)에서도 이용이 가능하며 해마토 코쿠스(Hematococcus)의 세포증식과 항산화물질 아스타잔틴(astaxathin)생산에 유용하게 쓰이고 있다. 최근 미국과 다른 나라에서도 기호용, 의료용 대마사업에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며 캐나다와 미국에서는 밀폐형 유리온실과 식물공장을 이용한 의료용 대마를 생산, 추출, 가공까지 하여 산업적인 영역을 넓히고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 실내재배에서는 광원이 필수적인 요소이며 식물생육에 선택적인 파장을 조사할 수 있는 LED와 재배조건을 정밀하게 제어할 수 있는 밀폐형 식물공장을 이용한 의료용 대마 생산에 대한 연구가 절실히 필요한 시점이다.

This study was conducted to compare the effect of various LED and UVa light to enhanced coloration of paprika fruits cultivars; 'Special', 'Helsinki'. Immatured paprika fruits were irradiated with red LED, blue LED and UVa lights which were high intensity (red: $50{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, blue: $70{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, UVa: $3{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$) and low intensity (red: $20{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, blue: $40{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, UVa: $0.25{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$). The coloration of 'Special' cultivar was increased the fastest in high intensity UVa light for 2 days after treatment. There were no significantly difference among treatments except the low intensity UVa light. The coloration of 'Helsinki' was increased the fastest in blue LED light, and followed by red LED light and UVa light for 2 days after treatment. The $a^*/b^*$ value of 'Special' and $b^*$ value of 'Helsinki' that indicated the paprika fruit coloration were generally higher high intensity LED and UVa lights than low intensity LED and UVa lights. We couldn't find out any significantly different coloration effect among all treatments in final days of coloration. and rather than UVa treatment fruit shrunk the surface of paprika fruits.

The objective of this study was to know the growth response and light use efficiency of leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) 'Yorum Cheongchukmyeon' (green leaf lettuce) and 'Hongyom Jeokchukmyeon' (red leaf lettuce) under different RGB (Red:Green:Blue) ratio in a closed-type plant factory system. The plants were hydroponically cultured with a 12-h photoperiod at $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$, 60~70% RH and 600~900 ${\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ $CO_2$. The light treatments were combined in three colors LEDs (red, blue, and white) and RGB ratios (1 : 4 : 5, 5 : 0 : 5, 5 : 2 : 3, 7 : 0 : 3, 7 : 1 : 2, and 8 : 1 : 1), however, as the light intensities of treatments were different. Growth characteristic response in both lettuces were significantly as affected by interaction between cultivar and light quality, when they were grown under different light quality conditions. Plant heights of green and red leaf lettuce were the lowest in 1 : 4 : 5 and 8 : 1 : 1, respectively. The highest length and number of leaf were showed 8 : 1 : 1 and 7 : 0 : 3 for the green and 5 : 2 : 3 and 8 : 1 : 1 for the red, respectively. Shoot dry weights of green and red leaf lettuce were the heaviest in 7 : 0 : 3 and 8 : 1 : 1, respectively. Leaf width and leaf shape index were significant about cultivar and light quality. Leaf widths of green and red leaf lettuce were the largest in 8 : 1 : 1 and 5 : 2 : 3, respectively. Leaf shape index of green and red leaf lettuce were the largest in 1 : 4 : 5 and 1 : 4 : 5, respectively. Shoot fresh weight and light use efficiency were significant about cultivar and light quality. Shoot fresh weights of green and red leaf lettuce were the heaviest in 7 : 0 : 3 and 8 : 1 : 1, respectively. Light use efficiencies of green and red leaf lettuce were the highest in 7 : 0 : 3 and 5 : 0 : 5, respectively. These results suggested that the ratio of RGB was 5~7 : 0~2 : 1~3 to cultivate leaf lettuce in a plant factory system.

In this study, we analyzed the growth characteristics of red lettuce under Light-emitting diode (LED) light environment as well as the change of vitamin C and anthocyanins of lettuce. We made five monochromatic light treatments (red 647 nm, 622 nm, blue 463 nm, 450 nm, White), six mixed red (R) and blue (B) light treatments (R : B = 9 : 1, 8 : 2, 7 : 3, 6 : 4, 5 : 5) and red + white, and three light treatments made according to photoperiod of LED with lighting sources ratio of red : blue (R : B = 8 : 2(18/06 h, 15/09 h, 12/12 h)). It was composed of totally 14 control beds. As a result, the red lettuce the most developed leaf height, leaf numbers and fresh weight under red single light, root length and leaf developed when grown under blue single light. Therefore, red light were related to above part of the lettuce, blue light were related to the growth of the underground part of lettuce. Case of the mixed light, leaf height, leaf numbers, fresh/dry weight of above and underground part were highest red + white light and root length and chlorophyll content were highest under red 7 : 3 blue light. Result of growing investigation by photoperiod, the red lettuce were considered to be most effective in 15/09 h (on/off). The content of anthocyanins; the single light source, mixed light and light irradiation period were highest under blue light (463 nm), red 7 : 3 blue and 18/06 h (on/off) light irradiation, respectively. The vitamin C showed the lowest content of $1.26mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ under the white light, but showed the greatest content of $3.02mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ for the control group.

To establish the optimum artificial light illumination method for baby leaf lettuce in closed plant factory system, the effects of red/blue light quality and short-term light quality conversion on growth and anthocyanin content were investigated. The growth of 'Hongha' lettuce was most favorable under red single wavelength LED light after 23 days of treatment, sequentially followed by the growth under red/blue mixed light, blue light, and fluorescent light. Total anthocyanin content in the mixed red/blue light (R57-B43) was 4.1-fold and 6.9-fold increased compared to the red LED and fluorescent light, respectively. With increasing the blue light ratio to 43%, the growth of lettuce was significantly decreased, while the relative chlorophyll content and Hunter's $a^*$ value was increased, indicating that the red/blue light ratio inversely affects on growth and anthocyanin pigment development. By changing light quality from red to red/blue mixed light source (R57-B43) for 9 days before harvest, the growth rate decreased compared to the continuous red light illumination, while the anthocyanin content dramatically increased compared to either red LED or fluorescent light. Whereas, when the light source was changed to red light, the growth rate was increased but anthocyanin content was reversely decreased. The result demonstrated that both growth and anthocyanin expression could be effectively regulated by shifting of light quality between red and red/blue mixed light source at a specific growth stage of lettuce in a plant factory.
