A Highly efficient Mercury-free Flat Fluorescent Lamp (MFFL) with dielectric barrier Xe gas discharge was developed for an alternative of conventional line-type Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFLs) which shows a wide voltage margin and a stable discharge operation for diffuse glow discharge with an application of a auxiliary electrode. Electro-optic characteristics of the MFFL were examined through the changes in ambient temperature, total pressure and Xe partial pressure. the single cell is expanded into a multi-structured configuration to realize a large sized lamp by a simple repetition of the single cells, and a new driving scheme is proposed for an adaptive brightness control using dual auxiliary electrodes and bi-polar drive scheme. In addition, interesting application of this ultra high luminance flat lamp by the optimization of the gas condition and the pattern of the rear phosphor layer is suggested as a good alternative of daylight lamp source

Light sources induced by gas discharge using rare gases have been widely used in the thin film deposition, the surface modification and the polymer etching. A dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) has been developed in order to consistently emit light and control the wavelength of the emission light. However, much research on the characteristics of the movement of discharge particles is required to improve the efficiency of the light lamp and the life-time of the light apparatus in detail. In this paper, we developed a He DBD discharge simulation tool and investigated the characteristics of discharge particles which were electrons, two positive ions ($He^+$, $He_2^+$) and 5 excited particles ($He^*(1S)$, $He^*(3S)$, $He^*$, $He^{**}$, $He^{***}$). The discharge currents showed the transition from pulse mode to continuous mode with the increase of power. With the accumulated charges on the barrier walls, the discharge current was rapidly increased and caused oscillation of the discharge voltage. As the gas pressure increased, $He_2^+$ and $He^*(3S)$ became the dominant activated particles. The input power was mostly consumed by electrons and $He_2^+$ ion. And the change curve showed that power consumption by electrons increased more with gas pressure than with source voltage or frequency.

The light propagation along a long positive column has been observed in a cold cathode fluorescent lamp. The optical signals are observed with the DC and AC voltage power during lamp operation. The light propagating is observed in the operation with the DC-rippled voltage as well as the AC-voltage. The optical signals propagate from the high voltage side to the ground. These signals show two kinds of features according to the before and after Townsend breakdown. At the dark current before Townsend breakdown, the optical intensity is damped and the propagation velocity is $10^4{\sim}10^5m/s$. At the high current of normal glow after Townsend breakdown, the propagation velocity is 1$10^5{\sim}10^6m/s$ without damping.

The amount of vapor mercury for the generation of glow discharge plasma has been calculated in a fine tube fluorescent lamp having a mixed gas of Ne+Ar including a mercury. When the ionization of atom is considered by the collision between neutral atoms (Ne, Ar, Hg) and electrons of energy $kT_e{\sim}1\;eV$, the density of vapor mercury atom has been obtained as $n(Hg){\sim}3.43{\times}10^{22}m^{-3}$ for the plasma density $n_o{\sim}10^{17}m^{-3}$. In the fluorescent lamps of out diameter 4 mm used for $32{\sim}42$-inch LCD-TVs having a mixture gas of Ne(95%)+Ar(5%) with the pressure of 50 Torr, the quantity of vapor mercury for the glow discharge has been caculated as 0.02{\sim}0.08\;mg$.

The green-emitting Zn₂SiO₄:Mn²⁺ phosphor film was evaluated in a xenon excimer lamp. The phosphor film with 2 ㎛ thick was formed of monolithic structure on the inner side of quartz through a long-time annealing process of coated ZnO solution doped with Mn²⁺ ion and SiO₂ of quartz tube. The coated quartz was filled with 100 torr of xenon gas, and simultaneously both sides was melt and sealed. The xenon-field quartz tube was discharge by applying the voltage of 15 kV with a frequency of 26 kHz, and emitted the glow with dominant peak at 172 nm. The vacuum ultraviolet excited the inner-side coated Zn₂SiO₄:Mn²⁺ phosphor film, which emitted the pure and strong green light.

This paper reports the development of an electronic starter for fluorescent lamps, which is so smartly designed that can be used directly in existing installations. The key point of the design lies in the protection of lamp filaments by sufficient preheating and at the same time in the control of time constant for start-up circuit. The starter is consisted of three system parts: a rectifier pact, a switching part. and a gate control part. The characteristics of the developed electronic starter is compared with those of a conventional glow starter. As a result, blackening of lamps is almost reduced due to the stable and idealized start-up characteristics. And, furthermore, it is shown that its slaving time is shortened at about half the level of the conventional one and the starting power is also reduced.

A new PLF-BLU (Plastic Light Fiber-Back Light Unit) using side glowing light fiber rods array for the 42" LCD TV display has been evelopedd. The light fibers were 14mm in diameter and 50cm long pure transparent acrylic rods of 1.49 refractive index. Fine seratees were made on the flat side of rod. extremely bright incandscent light from lamp fed into the fiber si scattered at scratches then emerges through the surface of rod. A typical PLF-BLU system consists of 24 PLFs produced side glow of brightness of 4,500cd/㎡ to 6,500cd/㎡. New PLF-BLU is proved to be a BLU of rigid, bright, no heat generation, and low power consumption, hence a prospective BLU system for very and/or ultra large size TVs. A new LED-PLF-BLU system considered to be a revolutionary to break-through of the BLU technologies has also been developed, and is decribed briefly.

Novel green long persistent phosphors of $CaZrO_3$ : $HO_{3+}$ have been synthesized at high temperature with weak reduction atmosphere by traditional solid state reaction method. The role of $H_3BO_3$ as flux and the suitable concentration of Ho as activator on the $CaZrO_3$ : $HO_{3+}$ long persistent phosphors has been investigated. Crystals of $HO_{3+}$ doped $CaZrO_3$ long persistent phosphores were characterized by fluorescence spectrophotometer and photoluminescence (PL). The main emission spectra of 546 nm peak was revealed through synthesizing at high temperature in $N_2$ gas atmosphere. The after glow emission spectra of $CaZrO_3$ : $HO_{3+}$ long persistent phosphores arise at 546 nm peak of narrow range. because that revealed pure green color. Green long persistent phosphors have been observed in the system for over 5 h after UV irradiation (254 nm). The main emission peak was ascribed to $HO_{3+}$ ions transition from $^5F_4$, $^5S_2{\to}^5I_3$, and the after glow may be ascribed to the trap centers in the $CaZrO_3$ host lattice.

The effects of water activity, oxygen, light and storage temperature on the color degradation of dried red pepper were investigated during storage. Some packing materials were used for improving the storage life of red pepper by minimizing those factors. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The critical water activity to the capsanthin of red pepper was 0.75. 2. Color degradation of dried red pepper was the most severe by U.V. light among 100 watt infra-red lamp, 15 watt U.V. lamp and 200 watt glow lamp. 3. Effect of light was not significant in the presence of nitrogen, Main factor of color degradation of red pepper in storage appeared spontaneous oxidation by the existence of oxygen. 4. The capsanthin content and the lightness as hunter value in powder type storage of red pepper was higher than that in whole pod type during 3 month's storage. 5. The air and damp-proof packing materials showed better results than polyethylene film packing in capsanthin content and lightness during 3 month's storage.
