This study was carried out to investigate the microclimate (photosynthetically active radiation and temperature) response to different shading materials(shade plate, and polyethylene net) on Korean ginseng(Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) bed. Photosynthetically active radiation(PAR) under polyethylene net was approximately 24 ~ 30% higher than that under shade plate on sunny day. Also, PAR was remarkably decreased from the front to the rear rows of ginseng beds. Temperature under polyethylene net was higher than that of shade plate. Internal temperature under polyethylene net was 1.9 ~ 3.1% higher than that under shade plate at the different rows of ginseng bed. Mean of total daily temperature under polyethylene net was higher at the rear rows than at the front rows, while that under shade plate was higher at the front rows than at the rear row of ginseng bed. Mean of total daily temperature on sunny days(April 15 and May 17) was 7.3% lower under shade plate than above outside but, polyethylene net was 0.7% high, while that on cloudy days(April 11 and May 15) was 1.6% higher under polyethylene net than above outside, but shade plate was 0.7% low. Also, overall mean of total daily temperature under polyethylene net was 7.0, 7.8, and 8.8 % on sunny day(April 15 and May 17), and 1.7, 1.6, and 3.5% on cloudy day(April 11 and May 15) higher than that under shade plate, respectively. The SPAD values of 6 years old ginseng at two point(front, center) in bed under shade plate showed the highest value, and the lowest under polyethylene net. The SPAD of 6 years old ginseng at rear in bed was not statistically significant under two shading materials.

This research aims at comparison of climatic conditions of sweet pepper's greenhouse between Korea (KOR) and the Netherlands (NL) to find out the reason of much lower yield in KOR than NL focus-ing on greenhouse climatic conditions. Hence, greenhouse climate data were obtained from each one commercial glasshouse in both countries. The crops (cv. 'Derby') were grown on rockwool slab with two stems per plant with 3.75plants/$m^2$ in KOR and three stems per plant with 2.5plants/$m^2$ or four stems per plant with 1.875plants/$m^2$ in NL. Even though plant density was differed but stem density was on the same to 7.5stems/$m^2$. There was no significantly difference on weekly growth of sweet pepper plant both countries, whereas harvested nodes to whole nodes of NL's plant was more than two times higher compared to KOR. The averaged daily global radiation during the whole growing periods was 14.5MJ/$m^2$/day in KOR and l2.1MJ/$m^2$/day in NL. Averaged 24h temperature was similar to both glasshouse as $21.6^{\circ}C$ in KOR and $21.2^{\circ}C$ in NL during the whole growing periods, however the variance was higher in KOR than NL. Humidity deficit (HD) was observed higher in KOR during the whole growing periods. Averaged day $CO_2$ concentration was measured contrary pattern in both countries because of heating to greenhouse on NL winter season. Averaged 24h temperature and day $CO_2$ concentration to daily global radiation was regular pattern in NL, whereas there are large scatter in KOR. Consequently, more irregular greenhouse climate condition in KOR could be induced irregularly crop growth.

Mobile display는 사용자가 이동하면서 화면을 보기 때문에 주변 luminance의 변화에 따라서 contrast ratio 변화가 심하다. 특히 햇빛 아래에서는 Mobile display의 화면을 알아보기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 주변 조도가 증가할수록 TFT LCD의 black 휘도의 변화율이 white 휘도 변화율보다 크게 작용하여 전체 contrast ratio(이하 CR)가 크게 감소함올 확인하였다. 또한, 반투과형 LCD는 반사창을 통해서 외부 빛올 반사시키기 때문에 주변 조도가 높아도 일정 수준의 CR은 유지할 수 있다. 그러나 투과형 LCD보다 CR이 낮았다. 본 논문에서는 투과형 TFT LCD에 back light 광원으로 LED를 사용하고, photo diode와 LED drive IC를 이용하여 주변 조도의 광량에 따라서 LCD의 back light LED의 휘도를 3단계 조절할 수 있는 회로를 구성하였다. 이렇게 함으로써 주변 조도에 따라 자동으로 back light 휘도 조절이 가능한 결과을 얻었다.

최근 자동차에 사용되는 조명은 LED가 주를 이루고 있다. 자동차 실내조명, 계기판 등에 사용되는 내부 조명의 경우 대부분 LED를 적용한 제품이며, 헤드램프, 후방 램프 및 방향 지시등과 같은 외부 조명의 경우도 LED로 교체되고 있다. 특히 LED 기반 헤드램프의 경우 과거 3500cc 이상 승용차 등에 한정되었으나 현재는 그 이하 레벨의 승용차 및 SUV 차량으로 범위가 빠르게 확산되고 있다. 고효율, 긴 수명 및 빠른 응답 속도가 장점인 LED를 차량용 조명 광원으로 사용함으로써 기존 할로겐램프나 HID 광원의 대체재로서의 전환이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 할로겐램프의 경우 청색보다 적색 파장의 광량이 많은 관계로 황색에 가까운 백색을 보이며, HID 램프의 경우 할로겐램프보다는 백색 계열에 더 가깝다. 하지만 LED 램프는 파장의 순도가 높아 보다 완벽한 백색 구현이 가능하다. 또한 단순한 기능을 지닌 헤드램프에서 지능형 헤드램프로의 발전이 빠르게 이루어지고 있다. 이에 따른 LED의 수요 또한 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 향후 고효율 LED 소자의 개발과 함께 자동차용 LED 조명에 대한 적용은 급속도로 진행될 것으로 예상되며, 앞으로 자동차 조명 분야에서는 'LED 헤드램프/후미등 기술+IT 기술(센서+통신)'이 융합된 형태로 발전할 것이다. 본고에서는 LED 자동차 융합 기술 동향 및 전망에 대해 자세히 기술하였다.

We analyzed the changes in electrical and optical characteristics of 1 $mm^2$ multiple-quantum-well (MQW) blue LEDs grown on a c-plane sapphire substrate after a stress test. Experiments were performed by injecting 50 mA current for 200 hours to TO-CAN packaged sample chips. We selected the value of injection current for stress through the junction-temperature measurement by using the forward-voltage characteristics of a diode to maintain a sufficiently low junction temperature during the test. The junction temperature at the selected injection current of 50 mA was 308 K. Experiments were performed under the assumption that the average junction temperature of 308 K did not affect the characteristics of the ohmic contact and the GaN-based materials. Before and after the stress test, we measured and analyzed current-voltage, light-current, light distribution on the LED surface, wavelength spectrum and relative external quantum efficiency (EQE). After the stress test, it was observed experimentally that the optical power and the relative EQE decreased. We theoretically investigated and experimentally proved that these phenomena are due to the increased nonradiative recombination rate caused by the increased defect density.

This study was aimed at predicting the yield of paprika (Capsicum annuum L.) through analyzing the growth characteristics, yield pattern and greenhouse environment. In the greenhouse of the Gyeongnam area (667 m above sea level), the red paprika 'Cupra' and the yellow paprika 'Fiesta' were grown from July 5, 2016 to July 15, 2017. The planting density was $3.66plants/m^2$ and attracted 2 stems. During the cultivation period, the average external radiation of the glasshouse was $14.36MJ/m^2/day$ and the internal average temperature was controlled as $20.1^{\circ}C$. After 42 weeks of planting, the growth rate of 'Cupra' was 7.3 cm/week and that of 'Fiesta' was 6.9 cm/week. The first fruit setting of 'Cupra' appeared at 1.0th node and 'Fiesta' at 2.7th node. The first harvest of 'Fiesta' was 11 weeks after planting and 'Fiesta' was 14 weeks. Comparing the yield per 10 a until the end of the cultivation in July, 'Fiesta' was 19,307 kg, which was 2.4% higher than that of 'Cupra'. And the fruit weight ratio of over 200 g of 'Cupra' was 27.7% which was 7.7% higher than that of 'Fiesta'. The average required days to harvest after fruit setting of 'Cupra' was 72.6 days and 'Fiesta' was 63.8 days. According to the relationship between the average required days to harvest and the cumulative radiation (during from fruit setting to harvest), the more radiation increases the less required days to harvest increases after February. In terms of yield, 'Cupra' increased in yield as the cumulative radiation increased, while 'Fiesta' showed an irregular pattern. Cumulative radiation from fruit setting to harvest was negatively correlated with required days to harvest after February in both cultivars. But in relation to yield, there were difference between 'Cupra' and 'Fiesta'.

The size of pupil with pupillary light reflex is determined by the amount of a luminance. and it is dependent with the distribution function of the retinal illuminance which is the amount of transmittance for the external light due to the size of pupil, and the detector of cone and rod due to the amount of the luminance. The change of the pupil size with the luminance can be expressed with the mathematical model $$y(x)={\alpha}+{\beta}\frac{1}{1+{e}{x}{p}(x-x_0)/{\theta}}$$ where ${\alpha}$ is the size of the pupil diameter in a maximum value of the luminance, ${\beta}$ is the deviation of the pupil's diameter between maximum and minimum, ${\theta}$ is the parameter showed the degree of a sensitivity. Comparing with the experimental value of P.Moon et al, We known that the equation of the model is very compatible.

최근에는 LED 조명으로 인해 조명 제어의 유연성이 높아짐에 따라 가정이나 사무공간에서 해당 공간의 목표 조도를 설정하고 현재 내부조도의 상황에 따라 자동으로 조명을 디밍하는 형태로 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 이러한 제어방식이 현재 주택용 요금제도로 운영 중인 고정요금제에서는 에너지 비용을 감소시키나, 스마트그리드에서 운영될 RTP(Real Time Pricing)에서는 요금 단계에 따라 오히려 에너지 비용이 증가될 수 있다. 이에 본 논문은 실시간 요금 단계에 따라 LED 조명의 목표 조도를 가변적으로 변화시켜 조명 에너지 비용을 최소화하고 사용자의 작업에 적합한 상황별 조도를 자동으로 제어하여 작업자에게 편리함을 제공하고자 한다. 이때 요금 단계에 따른 상황별 최저 및 최고 조도기준은 KSA 3011 및 IES를 참조하며, 최소한의 조명 에너지 사용을 위해 외부 광량을 최대한 활용하여 현재의 시간에 따라 블라인드의 Open/Close를 자동으로 서비스한다. 사용자의 상황은 PIR, Electric Powermeter, Piezoelectric 센서로부터 사용자의 위치, 가전기기 사용 유무, 착석 여부 등을 파악하고, RTP 요금에 따라 하루동안의 조명에 사용된 전력요금을 시뮬레이션한다.

This study examined Platanus orientalis and Ulmus davidiana planted in downtown parks to identify the correlations among microclimatic factors such as temperature in the crown, air flow, and wind speed. For the field survey, measurements were taken at 1 hour intervals from 09:00 am to 06:00 pm in August. For the measurement of microclimatic factors, data on temperature, light intensity, air flow, and wind speed were collected using a quantum sensor (PAR Quantum Sensor SKP215), a precision thermometer (Pt1000-Sensor), and a combination anemometer (1467 G4 & HG4). The results of the analysis demonstrated that both Platanus orientalis and Ulmus davidiana, showed a greater cooling effect inside the crown as compared with the outside temperature. The cooling effect inside the crown was more evident with air flow and wind speed factors. With relation to wind, the inner temperature of the crown of Platanus orientalis decreased due to air flow while that of Ulmus davidiana decreased due to wind speed. With no wind, the average variation in temperature inside the crown was $-0.9^{\circ}C$ for Ulmus davidiana and $-0.958^{\circ}C$ for Platanus orientalis, indicating that Platanus orientalis was relatively more effective in lowering the temperature of the planting space than Ulmus davidiana. This study is significant because it shows that different tree species have different effects on the microclimate and that factors affecting the formation of the microclimate of trees may vary with species. Further studies on species other than broad leaf trees, such as evergreen trees and shrubs, are required in order to plan the distribution of landscaping trees that are effective in regulating the microclimate within urban green spaces.

When manufacturing information and communication device that consists of lots of part, it is important to improve the quality of the produced system by inspecting the system accurately and exclude the defected part. In case of LCD which is recently in a great demand, the inspection process of the nut which bonds the back frame to protect the LCD panel has to be done by human labor. It highly required an automatic inspection system which can inspect the nut without wasting human resources. In this paper, we describe the process of developing a system which automatically inspect the status of nuts inserted during the manufacturing of LCD. The nut inspection vision system developed measures the number of nut's spiral, the distance between pitches, the width of a pitch, and the inside diameter of nut. We have adopted lens with high magnifying power and calibration tool and intended to produce automatic lighting for maintaining a stable environment for a high precision system. We also developed the algorithms for analyzing the nut. We apply the system to real factory field and verify that it is better than the man power in terms of error rate.
