White light generation through phosphors excitation by UV-LED has become an important subject in WLED. In our study, compounds of SrSiO3¡GDy3+ white-emitting phosphors are synthesized via hydrothermal method. In this study, the effects of annealing temperature, annealing time, contents of Dy3+ on the relative emission intensity of the phosphors are judicially investigated. Meanwhile, WLED produces a plenty of heat energy to cause phosphors high temperature when WLED is excited by electrical energy. The emission spectra of the phosphors are investigated excited by Hg arc lamp (£f=365nm) under high temperature environment. Another, two distinct emission bands from SrSiO3¡GDy3+ phosphors are found to be around 480nm and 572nm when the phosphor is excited by Hg arc lamp(£f=365nm). The combination of these two emissions forms a white light like color to naked eyes, showing that SrSiO3¡GDy3+ presents to be a promising phosphor for applications in fabricating white-light-emitting diodes through UV pumping.

The purpose of this thesis work is to design and fabricates organic-inorganic hetero junction White Light Emitting Diode (WLED). In this WLED, inorganic material is n- type ZnO and organic material is p-type conjugated polymer. The first task was to synthesise vertically aligned ZnO nano-rods on glass as well as on plastic substrates using aqueous chemical growth method at a low temperature. The second task was to find out the proper p- type organic material that gives cheap and high efficient WLED operation. The proposed polymer shouldn’t create a high barrier potential across the interface and also it should block electrons entering into the polymer. To optimize the efficiency of WLED; charge injection, charge transport and charge recombination must be considered. The hetero junction organic-inorganic structures have to be engineered very carefully in order to obtain the desired light emission. The layered structure is composed of p-polymer/n-ZnO and the recombination has been desired to occur at the ZnO layer in order to obtain white light emission. Electrical characterization of the devices was carried out to test the rectifying properties of the hetero junction diodes. iv
