Nano-sized green and blue phosphor powders were synthesized by liquid phase method to confirm the size and morphology. By using that process, the particle sizes of green and blue phosphor particles were 80 nm and 60 nm, respectively. The characteristic comparison of $Zn_2SiO_4$ : Mn and BAM : Eu was carried out and as a result, $Zn_2SiO_4$ : Mn powders showed an higher PL performance compared to BAM : Eu.

The $ZnGa_2O_4$ phosphor thick films were fabricated using a screen printing method on Si(100) substrates at various sintering temperatures. The XRD patterns show that the $ZnGa_2O_4$ thick films have a (311) main peak and a spinel structure with increasing sintering temperatures. The particle sizes of $ZnGa_2O_4$ phosphor were about 100 nm and the thickness of $ZnGa_2O_4$ thick film was $10{\mu}m$. The CL and PL properties of $ZnGa_2O_4$ showed main peak of 420nm and maximum intensity at the sintering temperature of $900^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that $ZnGa_2O_4$ phosphor thick films hold promise for displays such as plasma display panel and field emission display.

The green-emitting CeMgAl11O19:Tb (CMAT) phosphor has been prepared at 1200 °C by the simple solid-state reaction using AlF3 as a self-flux. This preparation temperature is much lower than those (1500-1700 °C) for conventional solid-state reaction and spray pyrolysis method. In particular, the complete process to produce high-quality phosphor particles was carried out through the single-step heat treatment of the mixture of corresponding oxide-type metal sources. An addition of AlF3 as a self-flux significantly decreased the crystallization temperature of CMAT with plate-like shape. The particle morphology could be controlled from plate-like to spherical by using H3BO3 as an additional flux. Thus, an optimal morphology and luminescence characteristics of CMAT were achieved when both AlF3 and H3BO3 fluxes were simultaneously used. Compared with conventional solid-state process, which is accompanied by the calcination step(s), and other alternative liquid solution techniques such as sol-gel method and spray pyrolysis, no use of active precursors and liquid media that are harmful to the environment is a distinctive advantage for the industrial purpose.

The $SrTiO_3$ with Al, Pr red phosphor for FED was synthesized by Pechini process using metallic nitrates, ethylene glycol and citric acid. The different particle growth tendency of $SrTiO_3$ phosphor powder was observed at above and below $900^{\circ}C$. Also, luminescent properties were observed under 359 nm excitation of Pr ion. The emission band was shown between 575 nm and 650 nm with 617 nm maximum spectra. Therefore, $SrTiO_3$ with Al, Pr phosphor is applicable to red phosphor of FED.

High luminance 3D built-in PDP panel was developed with newly adopted fast-decaying phosphor. Luminance of 3D PDP was increased about 40% by reducing the particle size of RGB phosphors and using $Y_3(Al,Ga)_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$ phosphor. Decay time of developed 3D PDP was 5.2ms/4.9ms for Red/Green color.

The applicability as a material to improve solar cell performance was reviewed by synthesizing a phosphor that emits red wavelengths by a liquid synthesis method using a metal salt aqueous solution and a polymer medium as a starting material. An aqueous solution was prepared using nitrate of metals such as Ca, Zn, Al, and Eu, and a precursor impregnated with starch, a natural polymer, was sintered to synthesize CaZnAlO:Eu phosphor powder. The surface structure and composition analysis of the synthesized CaZnAlO:Eu phosphor powder were analyzed by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy-dispersed X-ray spectroscopy(EDS). The crystal structure of CaZnAlO:Eu phosphor particles was analyzed by an X-ray diffraction analyzer (XRD). As a result of measuring the photoluminescence(PL) characteristics of the phosphor, it was confirmed that a red phosphor with a light emitting wavelength of 650-780nm was successfully synthesized. According to SEM and EDS analysis, the synthesized Ca₁₄Zn₆Al_9.93O₃₅:Eu³⁺_0.07 phosphor powder has a uniform particle size, and Eu ions used as an activator are present. The synthesized CZA:Eu³⁺ phosphor can be used as a material that can increase the light absorption efficiency of the solar cell by converting ultraviolet or visible light down conversion into a wavelength in the near-infrared region.

In this paper, we describe the luminescent properties of the phosphors synthesized via sol-gel technique. When the phosphor prepared by sol-gel technique, reaction factors, such as pH condition, $R_w$ and drying temperature affected the luminescent intensity, particle size and morphology of final product. Therefore, we attempt to control these reaction factors in order to improve the luminescent efficiency of phosphors. As a result of our study, when the acid catalyst (HCl) was used, emission intensity was higher than the case of base catalyst $(NH_4OH)$. The product prepared at $R_w=60$ indicated the maximum intensity. As the increase of the $R_w$ value, the particle was agglomerated and emission intensity was decreased. Finally, optimum drying temperature of gel was found to be$ 180^{\circ}C$.

Recently, dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), one of the solar cells, has been widely investigated. Studies on DSSCs can be classified into 4 fields such as $TiO_2$ nanocrystalline materials, dyes, electrolytes and conductive plate. In this work, $TiO_2$ nanoparticles for dye adsorption were synthesized, and added into the photo-electrode paste with different phosphor types and contents. Then, the influence of phosphor additives on the conversion efficiency of DSSCs was investigated. It was found that the maximum conversion efficiency was 8.81% when 0.5% of YAG phospher having the particle size of 400 nm was used.

In this study, we synthesized two $Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$ phosphors ($7{\mu}m$-sized and $2{\mu}m$-sized YAG) with different sizes by controlling particles sizes of starting materials of the phosphors for white LED. In the smaller one ($2{\mu}m$-sized YAG), its photoluminescence intensity in the reflective mode was 63 % that of the bigger one ($7{\mu}m$-sized YAG); the quantum efficiencies were 93 % and 70 % for the smaller and the bigger ones. Two kinds of white LED packages with the same color coordinates were fabricated with a blue package (chip size $53{\times}30$) and two phosphors. The luminous flux of the white LED package with the smaller YAG phosphor was 92 % of that with the bigger one, indicating that the quantum efficiency of phosphor dispersed inside LED package was higher than that of the pure powder. It was consistently confirmed by the optical simulation (LightTools 6.3). It is notable according to the optical simulation that the white LED with the smaller phosphor showed 24 % higher luminous efficiency. If the smaller one had the same quantum efficiency as the bigger one (~93 %). Therefore, it can be suggested that the higher luminous efficiency of white LED can be possible by reducing the particle size of the phosphor along with maintaining its similar quantum efficiency.
