A double-layer LED array together with an illumination optical system is proposed as a possible light source for LC projection display systems for large screens, up to $8m{\times}6m$ (400 inches diagonal). The heat dissipation problem of the LED array is solved by arranging the LEDs in double layers, and thermal analysis shows its effectiveness. The light from the LEDs in the back layer can be transmitted through the front layer without significant loss by arranging the LEDs in non-overlapping positions in the two layers and inserting suitable microlenses between the two layers and holes in the first layer. Together with the double-layer LEDs, an illumination optical system is designed to illuminate liquid crystal panels with good uniformity and appropriate matching with the projection optics.

In this study we researched a spotlight in LED lighting. Ordinary LED spotlight was manufactured with characterized property of traveling straightness of LED light source, but multiple use of shell type LED, a yellow band has formed caused by light source interference between the LED. Also, there was a high miscellaneous light efficiency with losing light source homogeneity and efficiency due to light source control uneasiness. The study uses aspheric reflector and aspheric lens, so we can control the light source of LED spotlight with effectively and we reached surface light source by using COB/COM for LED module. Furthermore it can change its use by a reduced scale of light system. It has been designed to make its various application from low power consumption of bicycle lamp, up to high power consumption of automobile lamps and lighthouse.

We investigated the optical design of a smart headlamp capable of producing various beam patterns through only on/off modulation of light sources. This was implemented by forming a continuous matrix of beams from discontinuous beam patterns by means of a multi-array LED optical system. As one such optical system, the multi-array LED system is a convenient and economical device for implementing beam patterns with the simple on/off modulation of the light sources. A single optical assembly module can be made by combining a multiple-LED array, optical system module, and electronic control with no need for any additional mechanical components. The present optical system was designed to include a secondary lens and a projection lens mounted at the front of each LED in the array to realize accurate lighting patterns as well as the required luminosity at a distance of 25 m in the forward direction. Finally, we identified and analyzed the patterns implemented by the designed optical system that produced satisfactory performance of high beams and adaptive driving beams (ADB).

In order to perform various missions in space, including planetary exploration, estimating the position of a satellite in orbit is a very important factor because it is directly related to the success rate of mission performance. As a study for autonomous satellite navigation, this study estimated the satellite's attitude and real time orbital position using a star sensor algorithm with two star trackers and earth sensor. To implement the star sensor algorithm, a simulator was constructed and the position error of the satellite estimated through the technique presented in the paper was analyzed. Due to lens distortion and errors in the center point finding algorithm, the average attitude estimation error was at the level of 2.6 rad in the roll direction. And the position error was confirmed by attitude error, so average error in altitude direction was 516 m. It is expected that the proposed satellite attitude and position estimation technique will contribute to analyzing star sensor performance and improving position estimation accuracy.

A water sterilization system is developed utilizing a 275 nm-wavelength LED light source equipped with a TIR lens. The system's light source is constructed by combining a 275 nm-wavelength UVC LED, known for its germicidal properties, with a TIR lens having a direction angle of 6.8 degrees. The optical simulation software 'LightTools' is employed to design and optimize the intensity of deep ultraviolet sterilizing light irradiation, its distribution, and sterilization capacity. In the inactivation experiment with E. coli, the water sterilizer system achieved a sterilization rate of 78.92 % while maintaining a water flow capacity of 50 L/min. Compared to the conventional mercury lamp light source water sterilizer system, the UVC LED water sterilizer system addresses environmental concerns related to mercury usage and offers advantages in terms of lifespan and durability.
