We have fabricated 2.5 inch QQCIF AM-OLED panel driven by ZnO-TFT on a plastic substrate for the first time. The number of photo mask for the whole panel process was 5 and the TFT structure was top gate with active protection layer as a first gate insulator. Optimizing the process for the substrate buffer layer, active layer, ZnO protection layer, and gate insulator was key factor to achieve the TFT performance enough to drive OLED. The ZnO TFT has mobility of $5.4\;cm^2/V.s$, turn on voltage of -6.8 V, sub-threshold swing of 0.39 V/decade, and on/off ratio of $1.7{\times}10^9$. Although whole process temperature is below $150^{\circ}C$ to be suitable for the plastic substrate, performance of ZnO TFT was comparable to that fabricated at higher temperature on the glass.

${\beta}$-Carotene has been known as an effective quenching agent of singlet oxygen and the carotenoid pigments in general are expected to protect cells against photosensitized oxidations. We are determined the quenching rate constants of several Ketocarotenoids including capsanthin, capsanthin diester, astaxanthin and fucoxanthin, and the relative quenching actiyities against singlet oxygen were compared with those of ${\beta}$-carotene and reported carotenoids. Nevertheless the ketocarotenoids exhibited lower quenching rate constants than ${\beta}$-carotene, they showed more pronounced protective activitives than ${\beta}$-carotene against photohemlysis induced by singlet oxygen. Among the ketocarotenoids investigated, fucoxanthin indicated a significant protective activity for the cell. The results suggested that. 1) 1O2 may be alikely initiator of photohemolysis, but this reaction is followed by slow dark reactions involving secondary reactive species. 2) For protection of RBC against photodynamic action with carotenoids, carotenoids having functional groups such as -C=0 and -OH groups are most efficient. This suggests that partition of carotenoids between the buck and the mombrane and/or their specific binding to membrane proteins are more critical for the photo-protection by carotenoids than is a diffusional quenching of 1O2.

Plant extracts have been studied due to their potential as photoprotective agents against UV and blue light exposure. Previous studies have revealed that several plant extracts have photoprotection capacities and synergistic effects with synthetic products. However, such results for pu'er tea and Curcuma longa L. have not been reported yet for a cosmetic formulation. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate photoprotection capacities of pu'er tea and C. longa L. extracts for a sunscreen compound. The pu'er tea extract improved sun protection factor value of 2-ethyl-hexyl methoxycinnamate (a synthetic sunscreen compound) by 46% and showed a high antioxidant capability that could help skin recover from photo-induced damage. C. longa L. extract also showed a potential to protect skin from blue light-induced damage because it not only had a maximum absorption peak at the blue light range, but also protected human fibroblasts from blue light-induced damage. The addition of both extracts shifted the critical wavelength of 2-ethyl-hexyl methoxycinnamate from 350 nm to 386 nm, giving it a broad-spectrum feature. Thus, pu'er tea and C. longa L. extracts may enhance the photoprotection ability of synthetic sunscreen products.

Recently, with increasing efficiency of DSC (photo-electrochemical using a nano-particle), The Performance of DSC solar generation system also needs improvement. The approach consists of a Fly-back DC-DC (transfer ratio 1:10) converter to boost the DSC cell voltage to 300VDC. The four switch (MOSFET) inverter is employed to produce 220V, 60Hz AC outputs. High performance, easy manufacturability, lower component count., safety and cost are addressed. Protection and diagnostic features form an important part of the design. Another highlight of the proposed design is the control strategy, which allows the inverter to adapt to the: requirements of the load as well as the power source. A unique aspect of the design is the use of the DSP TMS320LF2406 to control the inverter by current and voltage feed-back. Efficient and smooth control of the: power drawn from the DSC Cell is achieved by controlling the front end DC-DC converter in current mode.

Since 1998 for protection of marine pollution, all ships must have oil filtering equipment and 15ppm bilge alarms which satisfy Requirements of MARPOL 73/78. Oily-water separator used in machinery area of ships usually consists of two parts; one is filtering equipment and the other is oil content meter(OCM). This study presents optical characteristics of bilge were acquired form oil content sensing module. The oil content sensing module consists of IR-LED light source, photo-diode light receivers, and a glass tube for bilge water sample. The experiment with the bilge water demonstrates various valuable optical properties. These optical properties suggest notes and guides to make the low-cost, easy operation and good performance commercial type OCM that satisfy the requirements of MARPOL 73/78.

Method of plasma-immersion ion deposition of hydrogenated DLC films on relatively thick flat dielectric substrates from plasma of not-self-sustained low-pressure gas arc discharge is suggested. Coating properties have been investigated experimentally, average energy Per a deposited carbon atom depending on discharge current has been calculated. Optimum deposition parameters lot obtaining sufficiently hard and transparent high-adhesive a-C:H films on a 4-mm thick glass substrates have been determined. Possibility to use these coatings for photo-tools protection from abrasion wear at low operating loads is shown in general.

UV curing technology becomes important in various sectors of applications due to the high efficiency, environmental protection and saving energy. Above all, It is necessary to consider the formulation of glass fiber sizes in some detail to achieve this study since they are governed by the products to be made and their performance in the composites made form them. The effect of glass fiber sizes against UV curing system was investigated by the method of changing size formulation. Nanosil 700 was used in order to increase curing efficiency. Yellow effect was not observed at the 1% fiber sizer content.

Light is an environmental signal that regulates photomovement and main energy source of photosynthesis in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (Syn6803). Syn6803 is a popular model system for study of plant functional genomics. In this report, we adopted 2D gel based proteomics study to investigate proteins related with the light absorption and photo-protection in Syn6803. More than 700 proteins were detected on the SDS-gels stained with silver nitrate. Several proteins showing different expression level under various light conditions were identified with MALDI-TOF Mass spectrometry. As a comparison, we also conducted ICAT-based proteome study using WT and cphl (cyanobacterial phytochrome 1) mutant. A cphl deletion led to changes in the expression of proteins involved in translation, photosynthesis including photosystem and CO2 fixation, and cellular regulation. We are currently involved in TAP-tagging method to study protein-protein interactions in search for the molecular component involved in the light signal transduction of Syn6803 photomovement.

Photo-excited $TiO_2$ surface has a strong ability to induce various chemical reactions. Our study concentrates mainly on the utilisation of light energy to induce reactive radicals for environmental protection application. For instance, we have successfully used TiO$_2$ to break down foul smelling substances in air. In order to retain and separate the $TiO_2$ catalyst from the reactants and products, $TiO_2$ was immobilised by fixing onto various substrates. $TiO_2$ catalyst coated onto glass, wall paper and painted panel was found to show significant deodorising effect. The deodorising effect continues as long as$TiO_2$ is exposed to light irradiation.

Aging is divided into intrinsic aging and photo-aging. Intrinsic aging is naturally occurred as the time passed and photo-aging is induced by the UV radiation of skin. The main reason of aging is the free radicals and the degeneration of the cellular materials by free radicals. In this paper, we checked the anti-aging effects of Mallotus japonicus bark extracts. It has the ability to scavenge free radicals and the SOD like activity. Also, it reduced the cell damage by hydrogen peroxide treatment. Mallotus japonicus bark extracts showed the excellent activity on inhibiting the UV induced cell damage and DNA damage. In conclusion, Mallotus japonicus bark extracts can be used as active ingredients for anti-aging cosmetics.
