The recent LCD TV market has made efforts to produce thinner, brighter, and clearer products, and experienced the rapid light source replacement from a line source of light CCFL to a point source of light LED. In particular, LGP(Light Guiding Panel) among key parts composing BLU(Back Light Unit) has limits of the injection molding technology as well as the mold design, its processing and manufacturing technology so that it is hard to produce large LGP over 40 inch. To produce large light-guide panels over 40 inch under the injection molding process, a mold 3D model was developed in the design process before manufacturing a mold and structure unification was processed through CAE analysis. As a result, it was possible to construct the mold design process, and it is expected to manufacture the optimized mold by applying the mold design and manufacturing process of large-scale rapid injection-compression molding that will be produced in the future.

This paper presents a LLC resonant controller IC for secondary side control without external active devices to achieve low profile and low cost LED back light units. A gate driving transformer is adopted to isolate the primary side and the secondary side instead of an opto-coupler. A new integrated dimming circuitry is proposed to improve the dynamic current control characteristic and the current density of a LED for the brightness modulation of a large screen LCD. A dual-slope clock generator is proposed to overcome the frequency error due to the under shoot in conventional approaches. This chip is fabricated using 0.35 ${\mu}m$ BCD technology and the die size is $2{\times}2\;mm^2$. The frequency range of the clock generator is from 50 kHz to 500 kHz and the range of the dead time is from 50 ns to 2.2 ${\mu}s$. The efficiency of the LED driving circuit is 97 % and the current consumption is 40 mA for a 100 kHz operation frequency from a 15 V supply voltage.

LCD-BLU (Liquid Crystal Display - Back Light Unit) is one of kernel parts of LCD unit and it consists of several optical sheets(such as prism, diffuser and protector sheets), LGP (Light Guiding Plate), light source (CCFL or LED) and mold frame. The LGP of LCD-BLU is usually manufactured by forming numerous dots with $50{\sim}200$ um in diameter on it by etching process. But the surface of the etched dots of LGP is very rough due to the characteristics of the etching process during the mold fabrication, so that its light loss is high along with the dispersion of light into the surface. Accordingly, there is a limit in raising the luminance of LCD-BLU. In order to overcome the limit of current etched dot patterned LGP, optical pattern design with 50um micro-lens was applied in the present study. The micro-lens pattern fabricated by modified LiGA with thermal reflow process was applied to the optical design of LGP. The attention was paid to the effects of different aspect ratio (i.e. $0.2{\sim}0.5$) of optical pattern conditions to the brightness distribution of BLU with micro-lens patterned LGP. Finally, high aspect ratio micro-lens patterned LGP showed superior results to the one made by low aspect ratio in average luminance.

The LGP of LCD-BLU is usually manufactured by forming numerous dots with $50{\sim}200{\mu}m$ in diameter on it by erosion method. But the surface of the erosion dots of LGP is very rough due to the characteristics of the erosion process during the mold fabrication, so that its light loss is high along with the dispersion of light into the surface. Accordingly, there is a limit in raising the luminance of LCD-BLU. In order to overcome the limit of current dot patterned LGP, optical pattern design with $50{\mu}m$ micro-lens was applied in the present study. Especially, the negative and positive micro-lens pattern fabricated by modified LiGA with thermal reflow process was applied to the optical design of LGP. The attention was paid to the effects of different pattern conditions to the brightness distribution of BLU with micro-lens patterned LGP. Finally, negative micro-lens patterned LGP showed superior results to the one made by positive in average luminance.

본 연구에서는 LCD 또는 LED를 이용한 디스플레이 장치의 BLU 반사판으로 사용할 목적으로 무전해도금에 의하여 플라스틱 기판위에 성장되어진 은 나노코팅의 반사율 특성을 조사하였다. 은 나노코팅의 미세구조는 아주 미세한 나노크기의 은 결정들로 이루어진 다결정 나노코팅인 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 코팅 층의 두께가 증가함에 따라 환원, 석출된 은 나노결정입자의 크기도 비례하여 증가되었다. 은 나노코팅의 두께가 증가함에 따라 가시광선 영역의 반사율이 감소하였으며 파장이 짧을수록 반사율의 감소가 더 심하였다. 나노코팅의 두께 증가에 따른 반사율의 감소는 환원 석출된 은나노결정의 크기와 밀접하게 관련된 것으로 은 결정입자가 클수록 요철의 정도가 심하여 반사율이 감소하는 것으로 생각되어진다. 그래서 가능한 미세한 은 나노결정을 환원, 석출시키고 코팅두께를 얇게 하는 것이 반사율 관점에서 바람직한 것으로 판단되어진다.
