LED(Light Emitting Diode) is a semiconductor device utilizing electroluminescent effect is a phenomenon in which a type of P-N junction diode, the light of short wavelength which a voltage is applied in the forward direction is released. LED is advantageous in reducing the energy as environmentally materials that can greatly reduce the carbon emissions, recent it has attracted attention IT(Information Technology) and GT(Green Technology) industry. In addition, there are advantages long life, high efficiency, and excellent response speed, LED have come into the spotlight as the illumination means to replace the existing fluorescent light and incandescent light bulb. When connecting to MR16 electronic transformer for existing LED driver circuit, due to malfunction of the dimmer and the electronic transformer, flicker occurs and linear dimming is not possible. Therefore, in this paper, we suggest an LED drive circuit there is no flicker with the corresponding dimming MR16 electronic transformer. Further, we explain the principles of the LED current control technique and the principle of the drive circuit of the LED, in order to validate the proposed circuit through prototyping and simulation.

VLC (Visible Light Communication) is a wireless communication method using light that is visible to the human eye. It has a major advantage that it causes no interference to RF-based devices. This makes wireless communication possible in RF hazardous areas such as nuclear facilities. In order to apply VLC communication in harsh environment of nuclear power plant, the high luminance LEDs, which are key components of the VLC communication, have been gamma-ray irradiated at the dose rate of 4kGy/h during 72 hours up to a total dose of 288 kGy. The radiation induced color-center was formed in the LED housing cap made of transparent plastic or acryl material. The beam degradations of high luminance LEDs by high dose-rate gammaray irradiation are analyzed using color CCD image processing technology.

In this study, we applied edge-pulse modulation to prevent the flicker of light-emitting diode (LED) light in a visible light identification system. In the visible light transmitter, positive pulses were transmitted at the edges of the low-to-high transition points, and negative pulses were transmitted at the edges of the high-to-low transition points of the non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data waveforms. In the visible light receiver, the NRZ waveforms were regenerated by making low-to-high and high-to-low transitions at the point of the positive and negative pulses, respectively. This method has two advantages. First, it ensures that the LED light is flicker-free because the average optical power of the LED was kept constant during data transmission in the transmitter. Second, the 120 Hz optical noise from the adjacent lighting lamps was easily cut off using a simple RC-high pass filter in the receiver.

We developed high-efficient 6W-LED package with simple structure by applying Heat Slug and silicone-reflector. LED package was manufactured in $8.5{\times}8.5mm$ sized multi-chip structure having thickness of $500{\mu}m$ achieved by bonding silicon-reflector with prepreg on top of the plate after implementing the reflector placed on copper substrate Half Etching by thickness of $200{\mu}m$. The luminous flux, luminous efficacy, correlated color temperature, color rendering index and thermal resistance of developed LED was evaluated, and it verified the application of products by applying it to 120W-LED road luminaires through simulation. The luminous efficacy of LED package reached over 130lm/W, and it is possible to be manufactured into 120W-LED road luminaires using 18 packages. In addition, the simulation results showed average of horizontal illuminance and overall illuminance uniformity that is suitable for three-lane road.

Due to the enormous progress achieved in light emitting diodes (LEDs) LEDs have been become a good solution for lightings. In LED driver for lighting applications, it is required high input voltage to drive more LEDs. Therefore, high-voltage should be changed to low-voltage to supply power for drive IC. In this paper, LED drive IC using voltage clamp bias circuit, it use a hysteretic-buck converter topology was proposed and verified through experiments.

In this paper, we studied the correlation between the activation energy($E_a$) of the raw materials and the structural characteristics of the White LED PKGs. The samples used in the study were composed of low power LED 3type and high power LED 5type. To calculate the activation energy($E_a$) of the White LED PKGs conducted three conditions of high temperature operation test based on the Arrhenius model. The number of samples used in the experiment is 10, respectively. The $T_j$ of Conditions and target specifics expressed $T_{j1}$, $T_{j2}$, $T_{j3}$. The activation energy ($E_a$) of the samples was calculated based on the value of the actually measured lifetime. We investigated the correlation between the activation energy ($E_a$) of the raw materials and the structural characteristics of the White LED PKGs. As a result, White LED PKGs activation energy($E_a$) value was confirmed that the material properties affected more than the structural characteristics of the LED PKGs and we found that activation energy of each LED Model has difference. Normally, The activation energy of phosphor of YAG type was indicated from 0.21 to 0.25[eV] and Silicate type was indicated from 0.12 to 0.16[eV]. According to the results, we confirmed that the activation energy of phosphor of YAG type is higher more than The activation energy of phosphor of Silicate type.

The effect of co-sputtering condition on the structural properties of $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films grown by RF magnetron co-sputtering system was investigated for manufacturing ZnO/MgZnO structure LED. $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ thin films were grown with ZnO and MgO target varying RF power. Structural properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The ZnO thin films have sufficient crystallinity on the high RF power. As RF power of ZnO target increased, the contents of MgO in the $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ film decreased. LED was manufactured using ZnO/MgZnO multi-layer on p-GaN/$Al_2O_3$ substrate. Threshold voltage of multi-layer LED was appeared at 8 V, and it was luminesced at wave length of 550 nm.
