Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have gained tremendous attention as a key material for highly advanced display technologies. The performance of QD light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) has improved significantly over the past two decades, owing to notable progress in both material development and device engineering. The brightness of QLEDs has improved by more than three orders of magnitude from that of early-stage devices, and has attained a value in the range of traditional inorganic LEDs. The emergence of high-luminance (HL) QLEDs has induced fresh demands to incorporate the unique features of QDs into a wide range of display applications, beyond indoor and mobile displays. Therefore it is necessary to assess the present status and prospects of HL-QLEDs, to expand the application domain of QD-based light sources. As part of this study, we review recent advances in HL-QLEDs. In particular, based on reports of brightness exceeding 10⁵ cd/㎡, we have summarized the major approaches toward achieving high brightness in QLEDs, in terms of material development and device engineering. Furthermore, we briefly introduce the recent progress achieved toward QD laser diodes, being the next step in the development of HL-QLEDs. This review provides general guidelines for achieving HL-QLEDs, and reveals the high potential of QDs as a universal material solution that can enable realization of a wide range of display applications.

최근 디지털 광원으로서 각광받고 있는 고출력 LED(Light Emitting Diode)는 저소비전력과 장수명 그리고 점 소등 속도도 빨라서 고출력 LED의 효율을 향상시켜 일반 조명용으로 사용하려는 노력이 두드러지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 온도변화에 따른 전압 변동분만을 출력 콘덴서에 저장함으로서 출력 측에 사용하던 전해 콘덴서를 전압용량이 작고 수명이 긴 MLCC(Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor) 사용이 가능한 LED 구동 드라이브를 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 LED 구동 드라이브는 기존의 부스트 DC/DC 컨버터의 기본 토폴로지에서 출력 콘덴서를 입력 전원과 직렬로 연결하여 LED 광원의 온도변화에 따른 전압 변동분만을 출력 콘덴서에 저장함으로서 출력 콘덴서로 기존수명이 낮은 전해 콘덴서 대신 전력 손실이 적고 수명이 긴 MLCC 사용이 가능하게 된다.

In this study, a biological reaction and measurement control system was developed to rapidly measure the insecticide imidacloprid residues in agricultural products. The biological reaction part of the system was designed to include micro-pumps and valves for fluid transport, and a polystyrene covet as a reaction chamber. The measurement control part of the system consisted of a photodiode with a light-emitting diode for optical density measurement, and a control microcomputer to implement assay. Signal output was read as the rate of change in optical density at 645 nm. The sensitivity of the system was 2.2 ng/mL ($IC_50$). The system could execute a measurement cycle in about 19 minutes. Research will be continued to develop an automatic sampler fur imidacloprid residues from agricultural products.

The information indicating device plays an important part in the information times. Recently, the classical CRT (Cathod Ray Tube) display is getting transferred to the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) one which is a kind of the FPDs (Flat Panel Displays). The OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) display of the FPDs has many advantages for the low power consumption, the luminescence in itself, the light weight, the thin thickness, the wide view angle, the fast response and so on as compared with the LCD one. The OLED has lately attracted considerable attention as the next generation device for the information indicators. And also it has already been applied for the outside panel of a mobile phone, and its demand will be gradually increased in the various fields. It is manufactured by the vapor deposition method in the vacuum state, and the uniformity of thin film on the substrate depends on the temperature distribution in the point-cell source. This paper describes the basic concepts that are obtained to design the point-cell source using the computational temperature analysis. The grids are generated using the module of AUTOHEXA in the ICEM CFD program and the temperature distributions are numerically obtained using the STAR-CD program. The temperature profiles are calculated for four cases, i.e., the charge rate for the source in the crucible, the ratio of diameter to height of the crucible, the ratio of interval to height of the heating bands, and the geometry modification for the basic crucible. As a result, the blowout phenomenon can be shown when the charge rate for the source increases. The temperature variation in the radial direction is decreased as the ratio of diameter to height is decreased and it is suggested that the thin film thickness can be uniformed. In case of using one heating band, the blowout can be shown as the higher temperature distribution in the center part of the source, and the clogging can appear in the top end of the crucible in the lower temperature. The phenomena of both the blowout and the clogging in the modified crucible with the nozzle-diffuser can be prevented because the temperature in the upper part of the crucible is higher than that of other parts and the temperature variation in the radial direction becomes small.

본 논문에서는 실내 환경에서 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 이용한 가시광 통신(VLC : Visible Light Communication) 채널의 특성을 모델링 및 분석하였다. LED에서 방사된 광 입자(Photon)의 일부는 직접(LOS : Line Of Sight) 또는 반사(NLOS : None Line Of Sight)의 경로를 거쳐서 PD(PhotoDiode)에 도달하며, 이것은 수신 부에서 시간 지연(delay profile)과 감쇠(attenuation)를 가진 다중 수신 신호 특성을 나타낸다. 가로, 세로, 높이의 크기가 20*8*2.3m로 가정된 실내 환경에서 2개의 LED와 3개의 PD를 사용하여, 각 PD에서 직접파, 반사파에 의한 채널 특성을 컴퓨터 모의실험하고 분석하였다. 채널 모델별 특성은 BPSK 기반의 통신 모의실험을 통하여 그 유용성을 입증하였다.

The Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) is a part of the active safety system, providing optimized vision to the driver during night time and other poor-sight conditions of the road by automatic adaptation of lighting to environmental and traffic conditions. Basically, an AFS provides four different modes of the passing beam as designated in an United Nations Economic Commission for Europe regulation (ECE324-R123): neutral state or country light (Class C), urban light (Class V), highway light (Class E), and adverse weather light (Class W). In this paper, we first present an optics design for an AFS system capable of producing the Class C/V/E/W patterns requiring only on/off modulation of multi-array LEDs with no need for any additional mechanical components. The AFS optics consists of two separated modules, cutoff and spread; the cutoff module lights a narrow central area with high luminous intensity, satisfying the cutoff regulation, and the spread module forms a wide spread beam of low luminous intensity. Each module consists of two major parts; the first converts a discretely positioned LED array into a full-filled area emitting light source plane, and the second projects the light source plane to a 25 m away target plane. With the combination of these two optics modules, the four beam patterns are formed by simple on/off modulation of multi-array LEDs. Then we report the development of a prototype that was demonstrated to provide the four beam patterns.

Electroluminescence(EL)devices based on organic thin layers have attracted lot of interests because of their possible application as large-area light-emitting display. One of the problems of such devices is lifetime of the cell, where the degradation of the cell is partially due to the crystalliyzation of organic layers. In large part, this problem can be solved by using a multilayer device structure prepared by vapor deposition technique. In this study, blue lightemitting multilayer organic electroluminescence devices were fabricated using Poly (9-vinyl-carbazole) (PVK) and 2-(4'-tert-butylpheny])-5-(4"-bis-phenyl)1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) as hole trasport and electron transport material, respectively, where tris(8-hydroxyquinolinate) aluminum (Alq3) was used as a luminescenct material. A cell structure of glass substrate/indume-tin-oxide(ITO)/PVK/$Alq_3$/PBD/Mg:In was employed.

A HMD type multi-focus 3D display system is developed and proof about satisfaction of eye accommodation is tested. Four LEDs(Light Emitting Diode) and a DMD are used to generate four parallax images at single eye and any mechanical part is not included in this system. The multi-focus means the ability of monocular depth cue to various depth levels. By achieving multi-focus function, we developed a 3D display system for only one eye, which can satisfy the accommodation to displayed virtual objects within defined depth. We could achieve a result that focus adjustment is possible at 5 step depths in sequence within 2m depth for only one eye. Additionally, the change level of burring depending on the focusing depth is tested by captured photos and moving pictures of video camera and several subjects. And the HMD type multi-focus 3D display can be applied to a monocular 3D display and monocular AR 3D display.
