We report, for the first time, operation frequency dependence of current density-voltage ($J_{OLED}-V_{OLED}$) shift for multi-layer organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). When the OLEDs were electrically stressed for 21 hours with 50% duty voltage pulses at 60, 120, 240, and 360 Hz, the JOLED-VOLED shifts were suppressed by half for 360 Hz operation compared with 60 Hz operation, but with little change in emission efficiencies. This frequency dependent $J_{OLED}-V_{OLED}$ shift is believed to be commonly observed for typical multi-layer OLEDs and can be used to further improve lifetime of digitally-driven active-matrix OLED displays.

In microband-induced fiber gratings, polarization properties and birefringence are investigated as a function of an applied line force. With the transmission curves associated with the maximum and minimum resonant wavelengths, the polarization-dependent behaviors are analyzed. By increasing the transverse line force, the resonance wavelength for an incident light polarized to the same direction of the force is blue-shifted as much as 0.69 nm/(N/cm) while that for the other polarization is insensitive. Using the resonant wavelength separation corresponding to the force variation, the transverse effective index change or modal birefringence variation is obtained. The ratio of modal birefringence versus applied line force is ${\Delta}B/{\Delta}f_x={\sim}8.38{\times}10^{-7}$.

The effect of n-electrode patterns on the current distribution in active region is investigated in GaN-based blue vertical light emitting diodes (VLEDs). A 3-dimension circuit model is adopted to analyze the current flow patterns in VLEDs. We had fabricated VLEDs having different n-electrode patterns, measured their current-voltage characteristics, and compared to the numerical simulation. It turns out that the current spreading in VLEDs is strongly dependent on the n-electrode pattern. Some design guidelines for n-electrode patterns to produce uniform current injection are presented.

Developmental changes of chlorophyll-protein (CP)-complex and plastid membrane proteins during the greening of rape (Brassica napus L.) cotyledons were examined in order to investigate the effect of benzymladenine (BA) on plastid development. The formation of CP-complexes was slightly promoted by BA treatment in early greening stage, at 24 h and 48 h after illumination. However, BA inhibited the development of CP-complexes at 72 h after illumination. On the profiles of plastid membrane proteins with greening time, it was found that the 24 kd protein was increased and the 56 kd protein was decreased in both water control and BA-treated cotyledons. However, the above two traits were retarded under BA treatment, respectively. From the obtained result, plastid development of rape cotyledon during greening was partially affected by interaction between light and BA dependent on its physiological age.

We present X-ray light curves and the energy spectra for two contact binaries SW Lac and W UMa, which are obtained from the ASCA(Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics) observations. We find that both sources show appreciable flux variations during the observatoins, and the variations are erratic and are not orbital-phase dependent. From a spectral analysis, we also find that the W UMa spectrum can be reproduced by a variable-abundance plasma model with a single temperature of $T_1=6.8{\times}10^6K$, while the SW Lac spectrum requires two different temperatures $T_1=6.5{\times}10^6K$ and $T_2=1.4{\times}10^7K$.

The addition of organic ligand (${\beta}$-diketone or heterocyclic compound) to the europium (III)-containing ionic liquid resulted in bright luminescent soft materials with the molar ratio of europium/ionic liquid (IL)/ligand being 1:3:1 that exhibit bright red light under UV lamp. The luminescent properties such as emission features and lifetime of $^5D_0$ $Eu^{3+}$ excited level are dependent on the organic ligands. The materials were characterized by FT-IR and luminescence spectroscopy. The data shows that at least parts of the ILs (carboxylic acid) are replaced with ${\beta}$-diketone ligand rather than the formation of europium complex with the molar ratio of $Eu^{3+}$:IL: ligand being 1:3:1, while no ILs could be replaced by the heterocyclic ligand such as Bpy and Phen.

We synthesized three different derivatives of bis-spiropyran using simple organic reactions with high yields. BSP1, a derivative of bis-spiropyran having a connection at the position 6' and BSP2, a derivative of bis-spiropyran having a connection at the position 5 and BSP3, a derivative of bis-spiropyran containing a dithienylethene group between two spiropyran moieties were synthesized. The optical properties of BSPs were characterized. UV-Vis spectra showed that BSPs exhibit reversible photo-isomerization and the efficiency of photo-isomerization is highly dependent on the position of nitro group. BSPs having nitro group at para position of hydroxy group showed the higher efficiency of photo-isomerization that the one having nitro group at ortho position. The optical microscope images obtained under ultraviolet or visible light exposure demonstrated that the formation of nanorods can be reversibly controlled by optical signal.

In this paper we propose a cryogenic sensor system which can measure the temperature at higher resolution at low temperature using temperature-dependent amplified spontaneous emission of erbium-doped fiber pumped by a 1480 nm laser diode. The measurement resolution of the sensor system could be enhanced through the modulation of injection current of the pump laser diode. The measurement resolution considering the fluctuation of the light source in the sensor system was ${\sim}0.4$ K in the room temperature regime and ${\sim}0.07$ K in the liquid nitrogen temperature regime.

In this paper we propose a wavelength-switchable fiber ring laser that employs a polarization-dependent fiber band stop filter. The fiber filter was fabricated by inscribing a long-period fiber grating on a high birefringent fiber. Dual-wavelength switching operation was accomplished by controlling the rotatable linear polarizer which rotated the polarization plane of the light circulating through the fiber laser cavity. The amplitude variation of both laser lines was measured to be less than 0.5 dB and the signal-to-amplified spontaneous emission ratio was more than 55 dB.

In this study, the environmental impacts of a bogie in the electric motor unit(EMU) were evaluated quantitatively using simplified life cycle assessment(S_LCA). Target was the bogie and life cycle inventory(LCI) database for the bogie was established. The software used for simplified LCA was PASS. Environmental impacts with the parts of the bogie were dependent on their weight significantly. Among impact categories, abiotic resource depletion(ARD) and global warming(GW) were shown dominantly. Global warming was occurred mainly due to the emission of CO₂released from energy consumption and abiotic resource depletion was caused mostly by the consumption of iron ore for the manufacturing of steel. Therefore, the environmental impacts of the bogie could be reduced by the light-weighting of EMU and the improvement of energy efficiency.
