최근 개발된 평판 타입 면광원의 경우, 전면방전을 위해서는 방전수축이 아닌 글로우 방전을 이용하게 된다. 본 논문은 면광원 피드백 구동 시스템에 관한 것으로서, 구체적으로는 면광원의 동작시간이 길어짐에 따라 방전수축 상태로 천이하거나 방전수축 상태에서 점등하는 것을 방지하고 안정적으로 동작하도록 하는 피드백 구동 시스템에 관한 것이다. 면광원에 흐르는 전류의 값을 측정하여 면광원 구동 회로를 피드백 제어하는 시스템을 구성함으로써, 면광원 램프에 흐르는 전류의 값을 목적하는 범위 이내에 유지할 수 있어 방전수축상태로 천이하지 않는 안정적인 면광원 구동회로를 구성한다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 방식의 타당성을 검증 하였다.

최근에 환경친화적인 관점에서 많은 형태의 무수은을 이용한 형광램프가 연구되어오고 있다. 그 중에서도 제논을 이용한 형광램프는 수은을 대체하는 방전기체의 조건을 만족하고 있다. 따라서 제논을 이용한 면광원의 구동 시 지금의 수은이 들어간 광원의 구동에 있어서 안정기요건이 차이가 있으므로, 본 논문에서 제논을 이용한 면광원을 위한 안정기를 제안한다. 제안된 면광원 안정기는 크게 AC입력 측의 PFC (power factor correction)부분과 면광원을 구동하는 인버터 부분으로 구성되어있다. 특히, 인버터 부분에서는 제논 면광원의 특성에 대응하기 위해서 정전력회로, 아크 방지 기동회로 등이 포함되어 있다.

A flat fluorescent lamp (FFL) was developed as a light source for LCD TV Backlight. The channels of FFL were realized by forming the flat glass at high temperature. The performance of the backlight with FFL was shown to improve by optimizing the FFL channel profile that has elliptical shape, 4.4 mm height and 1.4 mm sealing distance. In this paper, the brightness uniformity of LCD TV backlights was investigated by optical simulation of FFL channel profiles. The brightness of LCD TV using FFL with the optimized channel profile was shown to be $576\;cd/m^2$.

Presence of soft shadow effects from an area light makes virtual scenes look more realistic. However, since computation of soft shadow effects takes a long time, acceleration methods are required to apply it to real-time 3D applications. Many researches assumed that area lights are white rectangles. We suggest a new method which renders soft shadows under the area light source having arbitrary shape and color. In order to approximate visibility test, we use a shadow mapping result near a pixel. Complexity of shadow near a pixel is used to determine degree of precision of our visibility estimation. Finally, our method can present more realistic soft shadows for the area light that have more general shape and color in real-time.

A flat fluorescent lamp (FFL) developed as a light source for LCD TV backlight was used as a light source for general lighting application and its electro-optical characteristics were measured and evaluated. The channels of FFL were formed from a flat glass at high temperature by using a mold. The performance of FFL with lighting future was shown to improve by optimizing the channel profile of FFL. In this paper, the brightness efficiency of FFL with lighting fixture was evaluated and compared with that of the hot cathode fluorescent lamp (HCFL), the major light source for general lighting. The optical efficiency of FFL with future was shown to be 72.7[1m/W].

The inverter using level control block (LCB) was developed to drive LCD TV backlight using FFL light source. The FFL striking time, time for brightness stabilization, and lamp current of FFL backlight were shown to improve by applying LCB in the inverter. It was also shown that the stable driving of LCD TV FFL backlight with the inverter using LCB was possible over the wide temperature range.

조명용 전기 에너지의 효율적인 이용을 위해서는 사용 환경에 따라 조명 기구를 부분 조광(local dimming) 제어할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 LED 면광원의 부분 디지털조광 시스템을 개발하고 부분 조광된 면광원의 발광영역 및 밝기와 조명 대상물의 조도 분포와의 관계를 측정하고 평가하였다. LED 면광원을 16개의 구역으로 나누고 FPGA와 FET 스위치를 이용하여 각 구역의 점등 및 광량을 디지털 제어하였다. 또한 실험용 암실을 만들어 암실 바닥면을 91등분하고 각 지점의 조도를 측정하여 부분 조광제어에 따른 조도 분포를 평가하였다.

Electro-Luminescence (EL) sheets have been widely used in lighting displays, mainly used as advertisement panels. To drive the ELs in optimal conditions, it is required to understand the load profile of the EL. Hence, in this paper, a modeling for an EL sheet was performed to analyze the load characteristics of the EL. Based on the extracted model of the EL, a topology for inverter system was chosen and the optimal design parameters were obtained. The validity of the designed EL driver system was verified through computer simulations and experiments.

In this paper, scanning backlight unit which can reduce motion blur was designed and fabricated using flat fluorescent lamp. The FFL(flat fluorescent lamp) is in the limelight as a new illuminant of next generation BLU(backlight unit), because of simple assembly and reduction of driving components. In order to control lamp brightness, lamp on-time was controlled. In this experiment, it was confirmed that lamp brightness can be dimmed linealy and in a wide range.
