투과형 광 시야각 모드의 하나인 Fringe Field Switching (FFS) mode를 반사형 액정 디스플레이소자로 응용하여 전기 광학적 특성을 컴퓨터 시늉 하였다. FFS mode는 액정이 수평으로 균일하게 유지되면서 구동하므로, 시야각에 따른 굴절률 변화 역시 균일하게 유지된다. 이러한 특성 때문에 반사형 FFS mode는 부가적인 위상필름을 쓰지 않고, 액정층과 편광판 1매 만으로도 일정한 수준의 반사형 디스플레이 특성을 얻을 수 있다. 컴퓨터 시늉을 통해 1매 편광판과 액정층, 반사판으로 구성된 Normally Black모드의 셀 구조를 취하고, 셀 간격을 일정하게 유지하면서 액정의 ${\Delta}n$을 변화시켜 특성을 구하는 방식으로 수행하여, 입사광의 파장이 550nm일때 최적의 셀 위상차값으로 $d{\Delta}n$인 $0.1365{\mu}m$를 얻었다. 입사광원을 $0^{\circ}C$로 하고 편광판 투과율이 41%였을 때 정면 반사율은 on시 33.6%, off시 0.14%로 명암대비가 233:1이었다. 특히 시야각은 극각 $60^{\circ}C$이내의 전 방향에서 명암 대비비가 5이상의 특성을 보였다.

Purpose: This study was tried whether expectation of astigmatism from spherical equivalent visual acuity was possible. Methods: For 54 men and women (108 eyes) corrected to emmetropia, average age of 23.3, changes of visual acuity (5m) were measured with an increasing the powers at every ${\pm}$0.25D when the (-) axis of cross cylinder is $180^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, and $45^{\circ}$, respectively. Results: As the power of cross cylinder was increased, visual acuity was decreased. When the powers of cross cylinder were ${\pm}$2.50D ($180^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$) and ${\pm}$2.25D ($45^{\circ}$), visual acuity was 0.05 which is the minimum measurement possible. Conclusions: The diagram on astigmatism dealing with each spherical equivalent visual acuity was able to tabulate.

The purpose of this study was to perform a clinical test using ez NANOsence II RGP contact lenses for the effects of visual acuity and cornea on subjects with abnormal refraction status. One hundred twenty one adults (twenty nine males, ninety two females, range = 17 to 43, mean = 22.86) were recorded. The subject's history including, the symptoms from previous lens wear, were studied. The subjects were observed, both pre and post lens wear, for any symptoms and signs of change of the eye. The Visual acuity and the binocular status were tested at the far distance using the contact lens. The refraction test was performed on the naked eye using the objective method (Topcon KR-8100, Japan). The Stereopsis test was performed at the near distance after contact lens wear by the Titmus fly (Stereo Optical Co., U.S.A) and TNO (TECH, The netherlands). The contrast sensitivity diagnosis was performed at 1m distance after contact lens wear by the contrast sensitivity chart (pelli-Robertson, USA). The corneal topography was analyzed on the naked eye after lens wear by ORB scan (Bausch Lomb, U.S.A.). The ultra structure of surface on the contact lens was observed using SEM (JMS-5800, Japan). The chemical component's of the contact lens was analyzed by EDS program. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The longer of contact lens wear period, The subjects have acquired the most improved visual function. 2. Subjects had experienced few side effects wearing the contact lenses. 3. The lenses were easy to use by the subjects. 4. The longer of contact lens wear period, the power of cornea had more decrease. but the base curve of cornea had more increase and corneal astigmatism was decrease (p<0.01). Also, the thickness of corneal center was few decrease. 5. Longer periods of using the contact lens showed stereopsis and contrast sensitivity at more normal values. 6 The corneal topographical after lens wear showed most subjects with similar morphology for different wear periods. 7. The surface ultrastructure of the new and used contact lens was the similar fine shape. 8. The chemical component's of in the new and used contact appeared to have similar results. In conclusion, this study showed that the surface ultrastructure and chemical component's of the new and used contact lens are similar. In addition, the subjects had improved the quality of vision and few experienced any side effects during long periods of contact lens wear. Also they have decrease of corneal astigmatism during the long period of lens wear. Our test has showed that the chemical composition and fine structure of contact lens have related to the visual function on contact lens wearer. In this paper, we suggested that ez NANOsence II RGP contact lenses had a moderate effect for correcting vision of abnormal refraction eye.

초박형 절연막은 현재 다양한 전자소자의 제작과 향상을 위하여 활용되고 있으며, 일반적인 화학 기상 증착 방법으로는 균일도를 확보하기 어려운 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 디스플레이의 구동소자로 활용되는 박막 트랜지스터의 특성 향상과 비휘발성 메모리 소자의 터널링 박막에 응용하기 위하여 초박형 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막의 증착과 이의 특성을 분석하였다. 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막은 실리콘 산화막에 질소가 주입되어 있는 형태로 실리콘 산화막과 실리콘 계면상에 존재하는 질소는 터널링 전류와 결함 형성을 감소시키며, bulk 내에 존재하는 질소는 단일 실리콘 산화막에 비해 더 두꺼운 박막을 커패시턴스의 감소없이 이용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 플라즈마 처리 기법을 이용하였을 경우에는 초박형의 균일한 박막을 얻을 수 있으며, 본 연구에서는 이산화질소 플라즈마를 이용하여 활성화된 질소 및 산소 라디칼들이 실리콘 계면을 개질하여 초박형 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막을 형성활 수 있다. 플라즈마 처리 시간과 RF power의 변화에 따라 형성된 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막의 두께 및 광학적 특성은 엘립소미터를 통하여 분석하였으며, 전기적인 특성은 금속-절연막-실리콘의 MIS 구조를 형성하여 커패시턴스-전압 곡선과 전류-전압 곡선을 사용하여 평가하였다. 이산화질소 플라즈마 처리 방법을 사용한 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막을 log-log 스케일로 시간과 박막 두께의 함수로 전환해보면 선형적인 증가를 나타내며, 이는 초기적으로 증착률이 높고 시간이 지남에 따라 두께 증가가 포화상태에 도달함을 확인할 수 있다. 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막은 초기적으로 산소의 함유량이 많은 형태의 박막으로 구성되며, 시간의 증가에 따라서 질소의 함유량이 증가하여 굴절률이 높고 더욱 치밀한 형태의 박막이 형성되었으며, 이는 시간의 증가에 따라 플라즈마 챔버 내에 존재하는 활성종들은 실리콘 박막의 개질을 통한 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막의 두께 증가에 기여하기 보다는 형성된 박막의 내부적인 성분 변화에 기여하게 된다. 이산화질소 플라즈마 처리 시간의 변화에 따라 형성된 박막의 정기적인 특성의 경우, 2.3 nm 이상의 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막을 가진 MIS 구조에서 accumulation과 inversion의 특성이 명확하게 나타남을 확인할 수 있다. 아산화질소 플라즈마 처리 시간이 짧은 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막의 경우 전압의 변화에 따라 공핍영역에서의 기울기가 현저히 감소하며 이는 플라즈마에 의한 계면 손상으로 계면결합 전하량이 증가에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 전류-전압 곡선을 활용하여 측정한 터널링 메카니즘은 2.3 nm 이하의 두께를 가진 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막은 직접 터널링이 주도하며, 2.7 nm 이상의 두께를 가진 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막은 F-N 터널링이 주도하고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 즉, 2.5 nm 두께를 경계로 하여 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막의 터널링 메카니즘이 변화함을 확인할 수 있다. 결론적으로 2.3 nm 이상의 두께를 가진 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 박막에서 전기적인 안정성을 확보할수 있어 박막트랜지스터의 절연막으로 활용이 가능하며 2.5 nm 두께를 경계로 터널링 메커니즘이 변화하는 특성을 이용하여 비휘발성 메모리 소자 제작시 전하 주입 및 기억 유지 특성을 확보를 위한 실리콘 옥시나이트라이드 터널링 박막을 효과적으로 선택하여 활용할 수 있다.

Purpose: To study the change of fixation disparity and accommodation as fusion contrast is deteriorated. Methods: 16 subjects who had above 20/20 and stereopsis took part. Monocular and binocular refraction were done with Zeiss Polatest Classic whereas the critical angle for stereopsis was done with TNO. A computer programmed with Random-Dot stereogram and vernier test managed a precise change of the fusion contrast and exposure time. Results: The fixation disparity was influenced by reduction of fusion contrast and had tendancy to exophoria (p=0.0004), especially it is considerably higher when uncrossed disparity was shown to exophoric subjects. Although accommodation was not influenced by a change of fusion contrast (p=0.803), vernier acuity was influenced (p=0.0000). Conclusions: Exophoric trend arose as the fusion contrast was reduced, nevertheless there was no accommadative change.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the accommodative facility, blink rate and accommodative lag according to the change of angles of main viewpoint of near distance worker and study an appropriate viewing angle that mitigates asthenopia, such as headaches or eye fatigue accompanied when reading and staring at the computer or TV for a long time. Methods: Total of 27 people including 12 male university students and 15 female university students in the age of 20 to 36 with frequent near distance works, such as computers, were selected to study the accommodative facility, the blink rate and the accommodative lag in accordance with the change of viewing angles of the near distance workers. The refraction error was corrected completely and the phoropter was shifted to near distance mode to locate the near distance indication at 40 cm. The accommodative facility and the blink rate were measured for one minute at each viewing direction of $40^{\circ}$ downward, $20^{\circ}$ downward, horizontal, and $20^{\circ}$ upward directions based on the horizontal line and the accommodative lag was measured in dynamic retinoscopy using retinoscope. Results: As a result, when the main viewpoint was moved on upper direction from the $40^{\circ}$ below, the accommodative facility was reduced and the blink rate and the accommodative lag were increased so their eyes became dry and the accommodation response was reduced. Conclusions: In near distance works, the eye fatigue level can be minimized by locating a book or a computer screen $40^{\circ}$ below than the horizontal direction.

Choosing a seismic source and geophone type including a coupling method can be the most important factor in shallow seismic surveys. We studied the characteristics of seismic signals by analyzing 6 different seismic data sets that collected from several sources and geophone conditions. Geophones attached to weight plate (1.8 kg) can be easily and economically installed on the paved road where geophones with spikes would cause the coupling problem. In addition, experiments in this study revealed that a small handy hammer can be used as a seismic source by striking the paved road to generate the seismic signals within 200 ms two-way travel time. Attaching weight plates to geophones may change the geophone response curve which generally depends on the geophone mass, but the change seems not to give significant differences in the first arrival of refracted wave and in the pattern of reflection events. Consequently, using weight plates on paved roads can be an efficient and cost-saving method in the near-surface high-resolution seismic surveys.
