3D Printing has a great advantage for its capabilities in manufacturing complicated structures in a reasonable manufacturing time, and thus is widely used in various fields. Due to the high cost of the equipment and material, a fairly acceptable equipment, the Projection Stereolithography Apparatus (PSLA), has been developed, using the projection pattern approach for the purpose of quick manufacturing. We evaluated its surface quality, as compared with that of other systems. The result is the development of a high-performance, low-cost 3D Printer and its operating software, using LCD and UV LED. Working materials for an optimal manufacturing are suggested in the research, along with some suggestions of basic approaches for enhancing the accuracy and quality of the manufactured structures.

For the white UV-LED applications, $Eu^{2+}$-activated calcium aluminium silicate phosphors were synthesized for the first time and the structures and luminescence characteristics of these phosphors were investigated. The phosphors in this study emitted blue. green or blue-green light depending on the starting materials for synthesis. In addition, the structure was also changed when the different starting materials were used. When CaO and $CaCO_3$ was used as a starting material. tetragonal $Ca_2Al_2SiO_7$ was formed and blue-green and pure green light was emitted. respectively. However. in the case of $CaSiO_3$, triclinic $CaAl_2Si2O_8$ was formed and only pure blue emission was detected. The maximum emission intensity was obtained from $CaAl_2Si_2O_8:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors, which intensity was about 1.4 times higher than that of YAG:$Ce^{3+}$ phosphor used for blue LED.

The physiological roles of various wavelength of light emitting diode (LED) on ‘Hayward’ kiwifruit experiencing after-ripening were investigated. Various wavelengths from LED light source were irradiated on kiwifruits kept in plastic bags or under open air at $25^{\circ}C$. During two weeks of storage, firmness of Hayward kiwifruits was decreased by $25^{\circ}C$ treatment than by $4^{\circ}C$ treatment. In the $25^{\circ}C$ storage condition, the firmness of kiwifruits was decreased by the treatment of 380 nm UV and 470nm white LED light source. Sweetness of kiwifruits treated with 380 nm UV LED and dark condition at $25^{\circ}C$ increased higher than $15^{\circ}$Brix. The acidity of kiwifruits under open air was decreased 52% by incubating at $25^{\circ}C$ with 660 nm red LED treatment. The acidity of kiwifruits in plastic bags was decreased 52.6, 55.6, 52.8% by the treatment of 440 nm blue, 470 nm white and 660 nm red LED light source, respectively, compared to that of kiwifruits incubated in darkness at $25^{\circ}C$. Decreased acidity irradiated by 660 nm red LED light source can be applied for regulating periods of the kiwifruit after-ripening process. LED light sources emit very narrow wavelength with a power-saving mode, therefore, the usage of these LED light source for regulating the after-ripening process can be classified as a clean biotechnology producing safe and environment-friendly kiwifruits.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate inactivation effect of UVA-LED ultraviolet radiation upon Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus which are the major bacteria causing eye diseases. Methods: The small sterilization device was made using UVA-LED of 400 nm. After Pseudomonas aeruginosa was diluted to $10^{-7}$ and Staphylococcus aureus to $10^{-5}$ and diluted solutions were put onto each liquid medium. They were irradiated by 400 nm of UVA for different amount of time; 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 120 min, 240 min, 360 min and 480 min each. Results: The data from sterilization test was solved to regression line equation and the target log inactivation was obtained. The 3 log inactivation UV irradiation value of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 54,847 UV dose ($mJ/cm^2$) and irradiation time was 135.42 min while the 3 log inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus was 39,066 UV dose ($mJ/cm^2$) and irradiation time was 98.72 min. Conclusions: The inactivation effect of sterilization method using 400 nm of UVA-LED upon Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus has been verified and it is considered as a useful method in inactivating the contact lenses.

Ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diodes (LEDs) were grown on a patterned n-type GaN substrate (PNS) with 200 nm silicon-di-oxide (SiO2) nano pattern diameter to improve the light output efficiency of the diodes. Wet etched self assembled indium tin oxide (ITO) nano clusters serve as a dry etching mask for converting the SiO2 layer grown on the n-GaN template into SiO2 nano patterns by inductively coupled plasma etching. PNS is obtained by n-GaN regrowth on the SiO2 nano patterns and UV-LEDs were fabricated using PNS as a template. Two UV-LEDs, a reference LED without PNS and a 200 nm PNS UV-LEDs were fabricated. Scanning Electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Photoluminescence (PL) and Light output intensity- Input current- Voltage (L-I-V) characteristics were used to evaluate the ITO-$SiO_2$ nanopattern surface morphology, threading dislocation propagation, PNS crystalline property, PNS optical property and UVLED device performance respectively. The light out put intensity was enhanced by 1.6times@100mA for the LED grown on PNS compared to the reference LED with out PNS.

The food functional properties of Pleurotus eryngii cultivated with different wavelengths of light-emitting diode (LED) light were analyzed in this study. The levels of total soluble solids of Pleurotus eryngii increased with all the LED lights, except mixed LED light ($B^*R$, $B^*G$ and $R^*G$). Thirty one kinds of components were detected by analyzing the free amino acids. The total free amino acid contents had a slightly higher tendency in the control group, but the ratios of eight essential amino acids among the total amino acids of Pleurotus eryngii cultivated under all the LED lights, including the blue light (blue, $B^*R$, $B^*G$ and $B^*R^*G^*U$) and the green light, were higher than that in the control group. K was the highest-content of mineral, and Mn was the lowest-content. The Ca content increased through cultivation under all the LED lights, except the blue light, but the Fe content (under the green and $B^*R$ lights), K content (under the red and UV-A lights) and Mg content (under the $R^*G$, UV-A and red lights) increased under the exclusive LED light. The total phenolic compounds increased by cultivation under all the LED lights, except the UV-A and mixed lights ($R^*G$ and $B^*R^*G^*U$). The DPPH radical scavenging activity was also improved by all the LED lights, except the mixed light ($R^*G$).

Microporous gel films of 29 m were prepared by the gel drawing of UHMWPE/soybean oil blend (4:6, w/w) up to 800%. The stretched films containing the optimal photoinitiator concentration, depending on the film thickness, was cross-linked under 365 nm LED-UV irradiation and the oil was extracted with n-hexane, resulting in a gel fraction of 95 % or more. With the formation of the cross-linked structure, the melt-down temperature and melt-down elongation increased by 16 ℃ and by 63% respectively. Also the thermal stability of the crosslinked UHMWPE was proved by the area shrinkage under the heat treatment decreased to 3.8 % compared to 17.4 % for the pristine film, and by the reductions in the combustion heat. The enhanced thermal stability of the crosslinked UHMWPE microporous membranes can be used for various industrial applications such as filters, electric vehicles and energy storage systems.

현재 조명용 LED 광원모듈의 세계시장규모는 약 200억불로 Osram, GE, Philips 등의 다국적기업이 시장의 70-80%를 독점하고 있으며, 국내업체는 기술력 부족 등으로 세계 시장진입을 못하고 있는 실정이다. 국내시장 규모는 약 6,000억원 규모로 약 80%이상을 Osram, GE, Philips 등으로부터 수입하고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 백색조명용 LED 광원모듈은 세계적으로 기술개발 단계이거나 시장진입 초기로서 동 개발제품의 기술을 국내업체가 이전해 온다면 반도체 조명시장 조기진입 및 세계시장 선점에도 크게 기여 할 것으로 예상된다. 우리나라에서도 차기 LED조명시장을 염두에 두고 한국광기술원을 중심으로 연구에 박차를 가하고 있다. LED/반도체조명연구사업부가 개발한 2,500 루멘급 백색조명용 LED 광원모듈 시제품의 개발 성공은 백색조명용 LED 광원모듈의 핵심 원천기술 확보에 한발 더 나아가 결과이며, 시제품 개발결과가 조명제품으로 이어진다면 2010년에는 3,000억원의 무역역조가 개선될 것으로 전망하고 있다. 또한, 국내 최초로 개발된 3mW급 380nm UV(자외선) LED는 위폐감지기, 살균기 등 의료.환경.바이오산업 등에 적용 가능하며, 조명용 백색 LED 제작을 위한 펌핑광원으로 활용이 가능하다. 아울러 20mW 급 380nm UV LED 개발이 완료되는 2008년에는 반도체조명산업과 의료/환경산업 등에 활용되어 약 연 10억불 이상의 수입대체 효과를 가져 올 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 한국광기술원 LED/반도체조명연구사업부는 다양한 LED 광원모듈의 연구개발을 통해 원천기술을 확보하고 LED광원 모듈의 국산화에 일익을 담당하고 있다.
