  • LED(Light Emitting Diode) components have advantages of longer lifetime, lower power consumption and easy-to-control, compare to normal lamp and fluorescent light, according to the development of recent technologies. Thus, lots of illuminations which utilize LED components could be used. Recently, Visible Light Communication(VLC) which is a part of communication technologies, utilizing high speed response characteristic of LED components, started receiving public attention. In case of VLC, there is no need of frequency allocation due to no use of radio, but also no interference exists during data transmission, much different in ISM((Industrial Scientific Medical band). This is the reason why a lot of research results about VLC are becoming issued. In this paper, a survey of feasibility for using VLC utilizing an original LED illumination for underwater applications has been done and a primitive possibility of its application has been examined.

  • Recently, Light Emitting Diode (LED) has many advantages in comparison with conventional light sources; low power consumption, long lifetime, and less environmental pollution. Therefore, the use of LED is increasing rapidly. In general, however, spherical lens is used in LED-lighting which cause many problems induces by optical aberration of spherical lens; low illumination, yellow belt, unpleasant feeling in human eye. As a solution of these problem, aspherical lens can be employed. This study reported the improvement of LED-lighting performance by adopting aspherical lens. From the commercial program, $LightTools^{TM}$, the optical problem were ensured. And then, to improve these problem, optimum aspheric form was designed using Code $V^{TM}$.

  • In this study, the effect of light irradiation on tyrosinase activity during storage in a low temperature incubator was investigated, with the goal of identifying the appropriate wavelength and intensity of light for inhibiting tyrosinase activity. Fluorescent light and blue light emitting diode (LED) irradiation were found to inhibit tyrosinase activity. In particular, tyrosinase activity was significantly inhibited under high intensity blue LED irradiation, suggesting that the activity of tyrosinase present in vegetables or fruits might be inhibited by LED irradiation. Therefore, blue LED irradiation during food storage and the distribution stage would be useful for ensuring good quality of food, owing to the inhibition of the enzymatic browning reaction.

  • In this paper, luminaire optical efficiency and luminous intensity according to array of HB(high brightness) white LED(light emitting diode) and globe types of luminaire were simulated by computer and made a comparative analysis. LEDs were arranged by square of 7ea X 7ea. LED space has been divided into 8.2mm, 10mm and 15mm that mean distances between luminous centers of LEDs, and luminaire globes were classified into 30mm and 50mm 묘묘 from luminous center of LEDs. Also the simulations were made with / without globe, globe types were specified by convex and embossing types of which sizes are 8.2mm and 5.0mm, So total 27 classes of simulation were performed. This paper is to help luminire development using LED light source called digital lighting of 21th century, by studying luminire effciency and luminous intensity of different types of globes.

  • 우리나라 수위관측소에 설치되어 있는 수위표는 야간 시인성 부족으로 야간이나 우천시 수위관측을 수행하는데 있어 많은 어려움이 있다. 특히 유량측정 전후 수위관측이 반드시 필요하지만 야간일 경우 눈으로 확인하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 야간 수위관측시 시인성을 높이기 위해 일부 관측소에서 야광도료를 이용하거나 빛의 반사효과를 높인 수위표를 설치하는 등의 노력을 하고 있으나 그 효과는 크지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 야간 수위관측시 수위 식별이 어려운 문제를 해결하기 위해 첨단 소자인 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 이용한 수위표를 개발하고 동시에 전류식 수위센서를 이용하여 자동 수위측정이 가능한 수위표를 개발하였다. 이는 기존의 눈으로 확인하는 수위표와 로거에 저장되는 수위측정장치를 하나로 통합한 것이며 주야간을 가리지 않는 탁월한 시인성과 정확한 수위측정 및 수위자료의 저장이 특징이다. LED는 최근 각광받고 있는 첨단 소자로서 각종 전광판 등에 다양하게 활용되고 있으며 전력을 크게 소비하지 않는 것이 특징이다. 또한 전기장치를 수중에 설치하는 것이므로 방수를 위해 실리콘을 이용하여 완벽 방수구조를 갖추었으며 홍수시 하천 유하물에 의한 파손을 방지하기 위해 내구성을 갖춘 구조로 설계 제작하였다. LED를 이용한 수위표는 야간이나 홍수시 수위관측을 수행할 때 많은 장점이 있을 것으로 판단되며 저전력 구조로 상용전원을 이용할 수 없는 위치에서 태양열 전지판을 이용한 배터리 기반 시스템으로 구성할 수 있으므로 측정의 정확도, 활용도 측면뿐만 아니라 설치의 편리성 문제도 큰 장점을 가질 것으로 판단된다.

  • Clinically applicable light emitting diode (LED) has been widely investigated because of relatively low heat generation, low cytotoxicity, and non-invasiveness compared to other therapeutic methods. Therefore, we investigated the therapeutic effects of several wavelengths of light emitting diode against human cervical cancer cells and analyzed the individual inhibitory effect for the cancer cell proliferation. In the experiment, prepared HeLa cells were exposed by red, green and blue light-emitting diode for 10 minutes each. Relatively short-wavelength light-emitting diode (blue) showed stronger therapeutic effects than relatively long-wavelength light-emitting diodes.

  • In this study, we investigated the effects of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and red or blue light-emitting diode (LED) light on embryo swelling and germination of Oreorchis patens (Lindl.) Lindl. A method for determining the swelling and protocorm formation in O. patens seeds through in vitro examination of immature seeds was established. NaOCl treatment of immature seeds was found to significantly enhance the extent of embryo swelling and protocorm formation in immature zygote embryos compared to those in the untreated controls. Additionally, the effects of white fluorescent light, and red and blue LED lights on embryo swelling and protocorm formation in in vitro cultured seeds were examined and compared to the conditions with or without NaOCl treatment. The most suitable light for embryo swelling and protocorm formation was the red LED light.

  • The attraction effects of light emitting diode (LED) trap to Spodoptera exigua adults were evaluated in greenhouse and compared with those of no light trap and black-light trap, which is typical used in commercial trap. 7 days later, white LED trap ($83.0{\pm}0.7$) was 2.4 times more attractive than black-light trap ($34.0{\pm}2.6$), whereas the no light trap was little attractive to S. exigua. These results suggest that white LED traps could be used for environmental insect control.
