In order to realize full color display, two approaches were used. The first method is the patterning of red, green, and blue emitters using a selective deposition. Another approach is based on a white-emitting diode, from which the three primary colors could be obtained by micro-patterned color filters. White-light-emitting organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) are attracting much attention recently due to potential applications such as backlights in liquid crystal displays (LCDs) or other illumination purposes. In order for the white OLEDs to be used as backlights in LCDs, the light emission should be bright and have Commission Internationale d'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates of (0.33, 0.33). For obtaining white emission from OLEDs, different colours should be mixed with proper balances even though there are a few different methods for mixing colors. In this study, we will report a white organic electroluminescent device using exciton diffusion length concept.

The effects of gas atmosphere and in-situ thermal annealing in buffet layers on the characteristic of the ZnO grown by RF magnetron sputtering have been investigated. It was shown that the introduction of buffer layers grown at the gas atmospheres of the mixed $Ar/O_2$ and the in-situ thermal treatment of the ZnO buffer layer improved the structural and optical properties. In addition, the ZnO films on the buffer layer thermal-annealed at $N_2$ gas ambience showed the strong emission of the near band gap exciton with narrow linewidth by combining the high-temperature growth of the ZnO film.

We have grown N-doped ZnO thin films on sapphire substrate by employing dielectric barrier discharge in pulsed laser deposition (DBD-PLD). DBD guarantees an effective way for massive in-situ generation of N-plasma under the conventional PLD process condition. Low-temperature photoluminescence spectra of the N-doped ZnO film provided near band-edge emission after thermal annealing process. The emission peak was resolved by Gaussian fitting and showed a dominant acceptor-bound exciton peak ($A^0X$) that indicated the successful p-type doping of ZnO with N.

Optical characteristics of excitonic blue and green emission of Te-doped ZnSSe:Te epitaxial layers, grown by molecular beam epitaxy, were investigated by photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The Te-doped ternary specimen shows strong blue or green emission (at 300K) which is assigned to $Te_1$ or $Te_n$ $(n{\geq}2)$ cluster cluster bound exciton, respectively. Bright green and blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been developed using ZnSSe:Te system as an active layer. The green LEDs exhibit a fairly long device lifetime (>2000 h) when operated at 3 $A/cm^2$ under CW condition at room temperature.

We have investigated the optical properties of Te-doped ZnSSe:Te epitaxial layers grown on (100) GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. The Te-doped ternary specimen shows strong blue or green emission (at 300k) which is assigned to Te$_{1}$ or Te$_{n}$( n$\geq$2) cluster bound exciton. Bright green and blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been developed using ZnSSe:Te system as an active layer. The green LEDs exhibit a fairly long device lifetime (>2000 h) when operated at 3 A/cm$^{2}$ under CW condition at room temperature. It is confirmed that the Te-doping induced "crystal-hardening effect" plays a significant role in both efficient and strong suppression of the optical device degradation.gradation.

Visible light-sensitive $TiO_2$ and ZnO nanostructure materials have attracted great attention as the promising material for solar energy conversion systems such as photocatalysts for water splitting and environmental purification as well as nano-biosensors. Success of their applications relies on how to control their surface state behaviors related to the exciton dynamics and optoelectronic properties. In this paper, we briefly review some recent works on single nanoparticle photoluminescence (PL) technique and its application to observation of their surface state behaviors which are raveled by the conventional ensemble-averaged spectroscopic techniques. This review provides an opportunity to understand the temporal and spatial heterogeneities within an individual nanostructure, allowing for the potential use of single-nanoparticle approaches in studies of their photoenergy conversion and nano-scale optical biosensing.

We report a dramatic increase in the photo-stability of a blue-emitting polymer, poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene), achieved by the addition of gold nanoparticles to the polymer. The optical absorption band of gold nanoparticles is tuned to resonate the triplet exciton-ground state band gap energy of the polymer. The photo-oxidation rate of poly(9,9-dioctylfluorene) was drastically reduced by doping the polymer with a very small amount ($10^{-6}-10^{-5}$ volume fraction) of gold nanoparticles. The gold nanoparticles used herein act as the quenching agent of the triplet states and can be directly applied to various blue light emitting polymer thin film ( < 100 nm ) devices.

양자점은 밴드갭을 조절할 수 있거나 multiple exciton generation등 과 같은여러가지 장점을 갖고 있어 양자점 감응형 태양전지에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어왔다. 하지만 아직까지 이론적인 에너지 전환 효율에 비하여 낮은 효율을 보여주고 있다. 이러한 낮은 효율은 양자점과 전해질 계면에서의 defect나 surface state로 인한 전자-정공의 재결합으로 설명할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 CdSe 양자점 합성법 중의 하나인 Chemical Bath Deposition의 전구체 농도조절을 통하여 고품질의 CdSe양자점을 합성하였다. 특정 농도에서 CdSe 양자점 표면에 생성되는 SeO2층을 억제하여 CdSe양자점/전해질 계면에서의 전하 재결합 저항을 높였고 가장 높은 에너지 전환 효율을 보여주었다.

A hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) method is performed to prepare the GaN thin films on c-plane sapphire substrate. The full-width at half maximum of double crystal X-ray rocking curves from 20$\mu\textrm{m}$-thick GaN was 576 arcsecond. The photoluminescence spectrum measured 10 K shows the hallow bound exciton (I$_2$) line and weak donor-acceptor peak, however, there was not observed deep donor-acceptor pair recombination indicate the GaN crystals prepared in this study are of high purity and high crystalline quality. The GaN layer is n-type conducting with electron mobility of 72 $\textrm{cm}^2$/V$.$sec and with carrier concentration of 6 x 10$\^$18/cm/sup-3/.

In this tutorial session, the field of organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells based on small molecular weight materials will be presented. The previously reported studies on the fabrication, structure, and property of the cells as well as the molecular materials are included. Especially, the factors hampering further enhancement in the power conversion efficiency of the cells such as exciton recombination, light absorption and interfacial morphology between electron donor and acceptor layer will be discussed in detail. The recent progress in our group will also be presented. It includes typical materials and cell fabrication techniques we used as well as the studies on improving the light absorption in the electron donor layer and reducing the extinction of excitons formed by introducing the nanostructured interface between organic layers.
