We have synthesized a $Eu^{2+}-activated\;{(Sr,Ba)}_2SiO_4$ yellow phosphor and investigated the development of blue LEDs by combining the phosphor with a InGaN blue LED chip (${\lambda}_{em}$=405 nm). The InGaN-based ${(Sr,Ba)}_2SiO_{4}:Eu$ LED lamp shows two bands at 405 nm and 550 nm. The 405 nm emission band is due to a radiative recombination from a InGaN active layer. This 405 nm emission was used as an optical transition of the ${(Sr,Ba)}_2SiO_{4}:Eu$ phosphor. The 550 nm emission band is ascribed to a radiative recombination of $Eu^{2+}$ impurity ions in the ${(Sr,Ba)}_2SiO_4$ host matrix. In the preparation of UV Yellow LED Lamp with ${(Sr,Ba)}_2SiO_{4}:Eu$ yellow phosphor, the highest luminescence efficiency was obtained at the epoxy-to-yellow phosphor ratio of 1:0.45. At this ratio, the CIE chromaticity was x=0.4097 and y=0.5488.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of improper positioning single-peak and multi-peak lights on color change, microhardness of bottom and top, and surface topography of bulk fill and incremental composites after artificial aging for 1 year. Materials and Methods: Bulk fill and incremental composites were cured using multi-peak and single-peak light-emitting diode (LED) following 4 clinical conditions: (1) optimal condition (no angulation or tip displacement), (2) tip-displacement (2 mm), (3) slight tip angulation (α = 20°) and (4) moderate tip angulation (α = 35°). After 1-year of water aging, the specimens were analyzed for color changes (ΔE), Vickers hardness, surface topography (Ra, Rt, and Rv), and scanning electron microscopy. Results: For samples cured by single-peak LED, the improper positioning significantly increases the color change compared to the optimal position regardless of the type of composite (p < 0.001). For multi-peak LED, the type of resin composite and the curing condition displayed a significant effect on ΔE (p < 0.001). For both LEDs, the Vickers hardness and bottom/top ratio of Vickers hardness were affected by the type of composite and the curing condition (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The bulk fill composite presented greater resistance to wear, higher color stability, and better microhardness than the incremental composite when subjected to improper curing. The multi-peak LED improves curing under improper conditions compared to single-peak LED. Prevention of errors when curing composites requires the attention of all personnel involved in the patient's care once the clinical relevance of the appropriate polymerization reflects on reliable long-term outcomes.

본 논문에서는 YAG:Ce와 $(Sr,Ba)_2SiO4:Eu$ 등 두 종류의 형광체를 사용하여 백색 LED를 제작하고 온도변화에 따라 각각의 백색 LED의 발광 특성이 어떻게 변하는지 조사하였다. 상온에서 $80^{\circ}C$ 사이의 구간에서 측정된 두 백색 LED의 발광 스펙트럼을 분석하기 위해 asymmetric double sigmoidal 함수를 활용하였다. 이 함수를 백색 LED의 청색 발광 및 황색 발광 피크에 적용해서 각 피크의 중심파장과 진폭, 반치폭 및 비대칭성을 온도의 함수로 구하였다. 그 결과 온도가 증가할수록 청색 피크의 중심파장이 장파장 쪽으로 천이되고 황색피크의 중심파장이 단파장 쪽으로 천이되며 비대칭성 또한 증가한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 두 백색 LED의 색도변화에 반영되었는데, 실리케이트계 형광체 기반 LED의 색도 변화가 더 큼을 알 수 있었다. 발광효율 역시 온도가 증가할수록 크게 떨어지는 것을 볼 수 있었는데 YAG 형광체 기반 LED의 발광효율 저하 폭이 더 적음을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과는 YAG 형광체 기반 백색 LED가 실리케이트계 형광체 기반 LED에 비해 색도안정성, 발광효율, 연색지수 측면에서 더 뛰어나다는 것을 의미한다.

This study was conducted in order to investigate whether the presence of light or different colors of light would influence the energy expenditure and behavior of broiler chickens. Eight 8-week-old broiler chickens were adapted to a respiration chamber (Length, 28.5 cm; Height, 38.5 cm; Width, 44.0 cm) for one week prior to the initiation of the experiment. In experiment 1, energy expenditure and behavior of the chickens were analyzed in the presence or absence of light for four days. Chickens were exposed to 6 cycles of 2 h light/2 h dark period per day. In experiment 2, the broiler chickens that had been used in experiment 1 were used to evaluate the effect of 4 different wavelength light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the energy expenditure and behavior of broiler chickens. The LEDs used in this study had the following wavelength bands; white (control), red (618 to 635 nm), green (515 to 530 nm) and blue (450 to 470 nm). The chickens were randomly exposed to a 2-h LED light in a random and sequential order per day for 3 days. Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production of the chickens were recorded using an open-circuit calorimeter system, and energy expenditure was calculated based on the collected data. The behavior of the chickens was analyzed based on following categories i.e., resting, standing, and pecking, and closed-circuit television was used to record these behavioral postures. The analysis of data from experiment 1 showed that the energy expenditure was higher (p<0.001) in chickens under light condition compared with those under dark condition. The chickens spent more time with pecking during a light period, but they frequently exhibited resting during a dark period. Experiment 2 showed that there was no significant difference in terms of energy expenditure and behavior based on the color of light (white, red, green, and blue) to which the chickens were exposed. In conclusion, the energy expenditure and behavior of broiler chickens were found to be strongly affected by the presence of light. On the other hand, there was no discernible difference in their energy expenditure and behavior of broiler chickens exposed to the different LED lights.

The characteristics of aquatic light fields are generally reflected in the visual systems of fishes inhabiting them. Therefore, research on light sensitivity of fish is useful to explain the correlation between the visual function and habitat, behavior and distribution of fish. Rockfish is an important species in coastal ecology and also one of the main species for culturing in Korea. To make a contribution on the maintenance of the fish resources and understanding the ecology of the rockfish, the visual spectral sensitivities of the dark-adapted rockfishes were measured in the range of visible light (405~660 nm) using a light source of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In order to assess electrophysiological response of the fish, the ERGs (electroretinograms) of the dark-adapted rockfishes were recorded on a data logger (12 bits) and a laptop computer. Juvenile (n=5; weight: $20.3{\pm}5.2g$; total length: $10.3{\pm}0.7cm$) and adult (n=5; weight: $87.8{\pm}21.8g$; total length: $18.1{\pm}1.3cm$) rockfishes were used in experiment. The visual threshold of juvenile and adult rockfish were 11.66 (log quanta/$cm^2/s$) and 11.81 (log quanta/$cm^2/s$) in 574 nm, respectively. The peak wavelength of the spectral sensitivity in the dark-adapted juvenile and adult rockfish was commonly 551 nm (series of green color). Collectively, these results demonstrate that the rockfish has suitable visual capabilities for inhabiting coastal water in Korea.

Recently, to develop GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with better performances, various approaches have been suggested by many research groups. In particular, using the patterned sapphire substrate technique has shown the improvement in both internal quantum efficiency and light extraction properties of GaN-based LEDs. In this paper, we discuss the influences of the direction of the hexagonal-structure arrays of lens-shaped patterns (HSAPs) formed on sapphire substrates on the crystal, optical, and electrical properties of InGaN/GaN multi-quantum-well (MQW) LEDs. The basic direction of the HSAPs is normal (HSAPN) with respect to the primary flat zone of a c-plane sapphire substrate. Another HSAP tilted by 30o (HSAP30) from the HSAPN structure was used to investigate the effects of the pattern direction. The full width at half maximums (FWHMs) of the double-crystal x-ray diffraction (DCXRD) spectrum for the (0002) and (1-102) planes of the HSAPN are 320.4 and 381.6 arcsecs., respectively, which are relatively narrower compared to those of the HSP30. The photoluminescence intensity for the HSAPN structure was ~1.2 times stronger than that for the HSAP30. From the electroluminescence (EL) measurements, the intensity for both structures are almost similar. In addition, the effects of the area of the individual lens pattern consisting of the hexagonal-structure arrays are discussed using the concept of the planar area fraction (PAF) defined as the following equation; PAF = [1-(patterns area/total unit areas)] For the relatively small PAF region up to 0.494, the influences of the HSAP direction on the LED characteristics were significant. However, the direction effects of the HSAP became small with increasing the PAF.

Purpose: We investigated whether repeated irradiation with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) at a combination of 470 nm and 525 nm could suppress the progression of experimental periodontitis. Methods: A experimental periodontitis model was established in the second, third, and fourth premolars of the mandible in beagle dogs for 2 months. The spontaneous progression of periodontitis was monitored under the specified treatment regimen for 3 months. During this period, the animals were subjected to treatments of either plaque control only (control) or plaque control with LED application (test) at 2-week intervals. The clinical parameters included the probing pocket depth (PPD), gingival recession (GR), and the clinical attachment level (CAL). Histomorphometric analysis was performed using measurements of the length of the junctional epithelium, connective tissue (CT) zone, and total soft tissue (ST). Results: There were significant differences in PPD between the control and test groups at baseline and 12 weeks. When the change in PPD was stratified based on time intervals, it was shown that greater differences occurred in the test group, with statistical significance for baseline to 12 weeks, 6 to 12 weeks, and baseline to 6 weeks. There was no significant difference in GR between the control and test groups at any time points. Likewise, no statistically significant differences were found in GR at any time intervals. CAL showed a statistically significant difference between the control and test groups at baseline only, although significant differences in CAL were observed between baseline and 12 weeks and between 6 and 12 weeks. The proportion of CT to ST was smaller for both buccal and lingual areas in the control group than in the test group. Conclusions: Repeated LED irradiation with a combination of 470-nm and 525-nm wavelengths may help suppress the progression of periodontal disease.

Trivalent rare-earth ($RE^{3+}=Eu^{3+}\;and\;Tb^{3+}$) ions activated $CaGd_4O_7$ phosphors were synthesized by a sol-gel process. After annealing at $1,500^{\circ}C$, the XRD patterns of the phosphor confirmed their monoclinic structure. The photoluminescence excitation spectra of $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ doped $CaGd_4O_7$ phosphor shows the broad-band excitations in the shorter wavelength region due to charge transfer band of completely filled $O^{2-}$ to the partially filled $Eu^{3+}$ ions and f-d transitions of $Tb^{3+}$ ions, respectively. The photoluminescence spectra show that the reddish-orange ions and green emission for $Eu^{3+}$ and $Tb^{3+}$ ions, respectively. Owing to the importance of thermal quenching property in the technological parameters, the temperature-dependent luminescence properties of these phosphors were measured for examing the suitability of their applications in the development of light emitting diodes (LEDs). In addition to those measurements, the cathodoluminescence properties were examined by changing the acceleration voltage and filament current. The calculated chromaticity coordinates of these phosphors were close proximity to those of commercially available phosphors for LED and field emission display devices.

Current crowding problem can worsen the internal quantum efficiency and the negative-voltage ESD of InGaN-based LEDs. In this paper, by using photon emission microscope and thermal emission microscope measurement, we confirmed that the electric field and the current of the InGaN-based LED sample are crowded in specific regions where the distance between p-type metal contact and n-type metal contact is shorter than other regions. To improve this crowding problem of electric field and current, modified metal contact geometry having uniform distance between the two contacts is proposed and verified by a numerical simulation. It is confirmed that the proposed structure shows better current spreading, resulting in higher internal quantum efficiency and reduced reverse leakage current.

본 논문에서는 사파이어 기판 표면에 레이저 처리를 통해 격자 구조(레이저 격자 구조)를 제작하고 InGaN/GaN 발광다이오드(Light-Emitting Diodes, LED) 박막을 성장 한 시료에서 Bowing 특성 변화를 논의한다. 그리고 Bowing 정도에 따른 InGaN/GaN LED의 광학 및 전기적 특성을 Photoluminescence (PL)와 Electroluminescence (EL) Mapping 법을 이용하여 상호 비교 분석하였다. 2-인치 사파이어 기판 상에 레이저 격자 구조의 간격은 1 mm (GS1-LED), 2 mm (GS2-LED), 3 mm (GS3-LED) 로 제작하였으며, 격자 구조가 없는 LED를 기준 시료(C-LED)로 사용하였다. GS1-LED, GS2-LED, GS3-LED의 Bowing 정도는 C-LED 대비 각각 8%, 7.6%, 6.4% 감소하였다. PL Mapping 결과, GS-LED의 발광 파장의 분포 균일도가 C-LED 보다 개선되는 것을 확인하였고, 파장이 C-LED 대비 단파장으로 이동하였다. 또한, GS-LED시료의 PL 강도는 C-LED보다 증가하였고, 특히 GS2-LED의 PL 강도는 C-LED 대비 6.9% 증가 하였다. EL mapping 결과, GS-LED 발광 파장의 분포 균일도는 PL 결과와 유사하게 측정되었으며, 2인치 기판 전체 면적에 대한 GS-LED의 주요 동작전압 및 출력 전력 수율이 C-LED대비 현저히 개선되었다. 사파이어 기판 표면에 제작한 레이저 격자 구조에 따른 InGaN/GaN LED의 광학적, 전기적 특성을 Bowing의 개선과 응력 완화 현상으로 논의 할 예정이다.
