We study on the Electro Optical Properties of the EEFL (External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp) Backlight system is based on the lamp type characteristics and diameter of the lamp tube under the equal manufacturing of the lamps. In this contribution, through the analysis of the different lamp type and diameter of the lamp tube gain the effective luminance and reduce the lamp voltage from aspect in the electro optical properties with EEFL and LCD backlight system.

This paper proposes a novel RGB-LED (light emitting diode) backlight system, for 32" LCD TVs, accompanied by a new X-Y Channel drive method in which its row and column switches control the individual division screen. This proposed driving method is able to produce division drive effects such as image improvement and reduced power consumption. Not only that, the number of converter needed in this method, that is 1 with $4^*$(m+n) switches, is much fewer than that of cluster drive method, that is $4^*(m^*n)$.

In applying LCD to TV application, one of the most significant factors to be improved is image sticking on the moving picture. LCD is different from CRT in the sense that it's continuous passive device, whichholds images in entire frame period, while impulsetype device generate image in very short time. We realized articulate image generation similar to CRT by CCFL blinking drive and TN-LCD overdriving. As a result, reduced image sticking phenomenon was validated by naked eye and response time measureme.

This paper describes an implementation of a wide-range dimming controller of a LED backlight for Avionics applications such as a control display unit(CDU) and multi-function display(MFD). The digital dimming controller employing a current controlled buck converter and light sensor feedback is proposed. The proposed system provides a wide dimming control range of from 150fL to 0.05fL(3000:1) required for avionic displays. The experimental results are provided to show the control performance.

As a display becomes large recently, Acquisition of high luminance and Luminance uniformity is becoming difficult in the existing CCFL or EEFL backlight system. So, study for a performance enhancement has enforced. but lamp development of flat type is asked for high luminance and a luminance uniformity security in of LCD and area anger trend ultimately. In this paper, we changed a tip shape of an electrode for production by the most suitable LCD backlight surface light source, and confirmed discharge characteristic along discharge gas pressure and voltage, and confirmed electric field distribution and discharge energy characteristic through a Maxwell 2D simulation. Therefore the discharge firing voltage characteristic showed a low characteristic than a rectangular type and round type in case of electrode which used tip of a triangle type, and displayed a discharge electric current as a same voltage was low.

Recently, LCD TV using LED backlight has a great attention due to its low power consumption, slim construction, mercury free, wide color gamut and fast response. For the uniform brightness of the LCD panel, multi channel LEDs and DC/DC converter for each LED are required in conventional system. Therefore energy conversion efficiency is poor, the system size bulky and the cost of production high. To overcome these above mentioned drawbacks, a new current-balancing multi-channel LED driver is proposed in this paper. It can not only drive multi-channel LEDs with one DC/DC converter but also provide all LEDs with constant balanced current. To confirm the validity of the proposed driver, its operation and performance are verified on a prototype for 46" LCD TV.

Recently, the market share of the thin-film-transistor liquid-crystalline-display (TFT-LCD) is growing rapidly in display device market. The backlight unit is used as a light source of TFT-LCD module. A light-guide is one of several important components of backlight unit. The manufacturing technology and optical system design of the light guide is very sensitive to quality and cost of the TFT-LCD module. In the present study a new manufacturing method which is called as direct surface forming(DSF) has been tested under various conditions. The result of this test, V-groove pattern shows different shapes depends on the temperature of mold surface, contact time of mold and depth of V-groove.

Local dimming driving has advantages in reducing power consumption and improving contrast ratio(CR). In an LED backlight unit(BLU), many small LED blocks are implemented in 2-dimmensional space, and luminance of the blocks is controlled by a local dimming algorithm. However, such a BLU can induce various recognizable artifacts. A new novel algorithm is proposed for exact block luminance calculation to correct local dimming artifacts. Also we discuss modified low-gray-level dimming to achieve much aggressive power saving in a local dimming BLU system.

LGP (Light-Guide Panel) of TFT-LCD Backligh/Frontlight is one of the major components which affect on the product quality of LCD. Since the brightness distribution of LGP is sensitive to the process error in manufacturing, the optical characteristics such as reflection and absorption of LGP pattern should be modeled including the process error. LGP is developed by using the fast and reliable design technology, which uses the concept of the inverse-design, makes the model on the characteristics of uncertainty in the manufacturing process, and designs the dispersion pattern analytically without try-and-error by using an artificial intelligence. The PEA(Process-Error-Adaptive) design gives the best solution in handling the process error. The offset of target in feedback system makes such the best pattern design possible that the brightness distribution is nearly same (more than 90%) with target in regardless of the miscellaneous errors in mass production. The present design method has been also applied to frontlight and multi-side-lamp(eg., four-side-four-lamp) backlight.
