Blue emitting CaWO$_4$ thin films were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering. The effect of sputtering parameters and annealing conditions on the luminescent properties were investigated. Structural and stoichiometric properties of thin films were affected by $O_2$/Ar gas ratio and substrate temperature. Post-annealing caused the phosphor thin films to emit improved luminescent properties. The atomic composition of films might depend on annealing atmosphere, which resulted in the changes of luminescent properties. Blue-green emission that was due to oxygen vacancies was observed. However, by controlling oxygen defects, only blue emission could be obtained.

In this paper, a mercury-free flat discharge lamp with opposite electrode structure, a couple of phosphor layer and discharge vessel has been studied for LCD back-lighting. When the drive voltage conditions were set properly, a uniform discharge generates over entires emitting surface. The firing voltage was increased with increasing the discharge gas pressure. It was considered that this tendency was resulted from the decrease of mean free paths due to the increase of discharge gas pressure. The maximum luminance of 2700[cd/m2] was obtained in the green emitting FFL.

White LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are promising new-generation light sources which can replace conventional lamps due to their high reliability, low energy consumption and eco-friendly effects. This paper briefly reviews recent progress of oxy/nitride host phosphor and quantum dot materials with broad excitation band characteristics for phosphor-converted white LEDs. Among oxy/nitride host materials, $M_2Si_5N_8$ : $Eu^{2+}$, $MAlSiN_3$ : $Eu^{2+}$ M-SiON (M = Ca, Sr, Ba), ${\alpha}/{\beta}$-SiAlON : $Eu^{2+}$ are excellent phosphors for white LED using blue-emitting chip. They have very broad excitation bands in the range of 440~460 nm and exhibit emission from green to red. In this paper, In this review we focus on recent developments in the crystal structure, luminescence and applications of the oxy/nitride phosphors for white LEDs. In addition, the application prospects and current trends of research and development of quantum dot phosphors are also discussed.

SrGa$_2$S$_4$ : Eu is a green emitting phosphor which is applied for field emission display, and cathodoluminescence. Conventionally, SrGa$_2$S$_4$ : Eu is synthesized by solid state reaction, in which a mixture of SrCO$_3$, Ga$_2$O$_3$, and Eu$_2$O$_3$ is fired at high temperatures under flowing H$_2$S and Ar gases. In this study,SrGa$_2$S$_4$ : Eu phosphor is synthesized by using a decomposition method, where SrS, Eu complex, and Ga com-plex are used. The advantage of this method is that toxic H$_2$S gas and Ar gas are not used. The synthetic con-ditions and luminescent properties of SrGa$_2$S$_4$ : Eu phosphor are also investigated.

In this study, green barium strontium silicate phosphor ($BaSrSiO_4:Eu^{3+}$, $Eu^{2+}$) was synthesized using a solid-state reaction method in air and reducing atmosphere. Investigation of the firing temperature indicates that a single phase of $BaSrSiO_4$ is formed when the firing temperature is higher than $1400^{\circ}C$. The effect of firing temperature and doping concentration on luminescent properties are investigated. The light-emitting property was the best when the molar content of $Eu_2O_3$ was 0.025 mol. Also, the luminescent brightness of the $BaSrSiO_4$ fluorescent substance was the best when the particle size of the barium was $0.5{\mu}m$. $BaSrSiO_4$ phosphors exhibit the typical green luminescent properties of $Eu^{3+}$ and $Eu^{2+}$. The characteristics of the synthesized $BaSrSiO_4:Eu^{3+}$, $Eu^{2+}$ phosphor were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy. The maximum emission band of the $BaSrSiO_4:Eu^{3+}$, $Eu^{2+}$ was 520 nm.

Oxide phosphorescent phosphor has an wide application in ceramic art and decoration due to its chemical and mechanical properties. Here, phosphorescent properties of strontium aluminate phosphor ($SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$) emitting yellowish-green light was investigated with thermal treatment at $1250^{\circ}C$ under air and reducing atmosphere. The characterizations of thermally treated samples were analyzed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), fluorescence spectrometer. $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$ still showed a good phosphorescent properties after annealing process in reducing atmosphere, while phosphorescence of $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$ annealed in air seriously degraded, due to oxidation of $Eu^{2+}$ to $Eu^{3+}$ ions. It was also observed that $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$ annealed in reducing atmosphere emitted yellowish-green light during 3 h after being exposed to sunlight.

Recently, the phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have been extensively studied for their high internal quantum efficiency. In this study, we synthesised several phosphorescent metal complexes, and certified their composition using NMR. We also investigated the characteristics of the phosphorescent OLEDs with the green emitting phosphor, $Ir(ppy)_{3}$.

TOPO/TOP capped CdSe nanoparticles were synthesized via thermal-solvent method. The 540 nm green and 620 nm red emitting CdSe nanoparticles were obtained by controlling the reaction time and temperature. Phosphor conversion white LED was produced combining a 460 nm emitting InGaN LED chip as an excitation source with 540 and 620 nm CdSe nanoparticles as phosphors. The single or double phosphor layer was fabricated by mixing with epoxy, and investigated the effects on the luminous properties of the white LED. The single phosphor layer white LED showed 5.78 lm/W with CIE of (0.36, 0.45) in reddish white, and the double phosphor layer white LED showed 7.28 lm/W with that of (0.32, 0.34) in pure white at 20 mA. When the 400 nm near-UV LED was applied to optical pumping source, the luminous efficiency of white LED was enhanced to 8.76 lm/W.

White-light-emitting ZnS:Mn, Cu, Cl phosphors with spherical shape and the size of $20\;{\mu}m$ are successfully synthesized. They have the double phases of cubic and hexagonal structures. They are applied to electroluminescent (EL) devices by silk screen method with the following structure: $electrode/BaTiO_3$ insulator layer ($50{\sim}60\;{\mu}m$)/ ZnS:Mn, Cu, Cl phosphor layer ($30{\sim}50\;{\mu}m$)/ITO glass. The EL devices are driven with the voltage of 100 V and the frequency of 400 Hz. The EL devices show the three emission peaks. The blue and green emission bands are originated from $CICu^{2+}$ transition and $ClCu^+$ transition, respectively. The yellow emission band results from $^4T^6A$ transition of $Mn^{2+}$ ion. As an increase of Cu concentrations, the blue and green emission intensities decrease whereas the yellow emission intensity increases; the quality becomes warm white. It is due to the energy transfer from the blue and green bands to the yellow band.

The photoluminescence characteristics of the zinc gallate have been investigated as a function of the composition and the firing atmosphere. Two distinct emission bands were observed whose peaks are 360 nm and 430 nm respectively. These emission bands are considered to be from two different emission centers. For $ZnO/Ga_2O_3$=49.3/50.7 or higher, 430 nm band is predominant and for $ZnO/Ga_2O_3$=49.2/50.8 or lower, 360nm band becomes predominant, whereas 430 nm band is almost completely suppressed. The shift of emission peak is though to be due to the change of the cation distribution with the zinc content in the spinel zinc gallate. Also, the emission centers responsible for the 360nm band are considered to be more efficient energy absorbers than the ones for the 430 nm band. Highly efficient green emitting phosphor was obtained by activating Zn-deficient zinc gallate with manganeses.
