최근의 TV용 TFT-LCD에서는 동화상에서의 잔상발생을 줄이는 것이 중요한 기술적 요구사항이 되었다. Single-LVDS 신호체계에서 3D를 대응하기 위한 Quad Signal Package 까지 진화하면서 보다 빠른 신호를 정해진 시간안에 처리해야 하는 문제가 발생하고 있으며, 이러한 특성을 구현하기 위해서 잔상효과가 없는 Backlight에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 점멸방식의 Backlight 를 사용하여, 1Frame의 시간안에 이 동작이 가능하게 구현하는 것을 목표로 삼았으며, 광원으로는 기존의 냉음극관램프를 사용하였다. 통상 냉음극관램프는 주 발광파장대를 담당하는 녹색의 잔광시간이 길어서 위와 같은 특성을 구현하기에 어려움이 있었으나, 본 연구에서는 단잔광 특성을 가지는 녹색 및 적색 형광체를 적용한 냉음극관램프를 적용하여, 1Video Frame의 시간안에 점멸동작이 가능한 백라이트를 제작하였으며, 이를 사용하여, 동화상에서 비약적인 잔상 해결 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

An External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp (EEFL) has longer lifespan, higher power efficiency and higher luminance than a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL). Moreover, it is easy to drive them in parallel. Therefore, the EEFL is expected to quickly replace the CCFL in LCD backlight systems. However, the EEFL has more complex characteristics than the CCFL with a resistive component, because it has both a resistive component by plasma and a capacitive component by external electrode. In this paper, values of resistance and capacitance are measured at several power levels and at several operating frequencies. They are expressed by a numeral formula based on a linear approximation that represents the equivalent resistance and capacitance as a function of power. Then we made block diagram of the equivalent circuit model using numerical expressions. Simulation waveforms and experimental results are presented to verify the feasibility of the equivalent model.

LCD 모니터의 백라이트로 CCFL 형광체를 많이 사용하고 있으나 그 불량여부는 육안에 의존하고 있다. 육안 검사를 함으로써 부품에 대한 일관성 있는 검사가 결여되고, 노동집약적인 검사로 인해 산업적 재해가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서, CCFL 불량유무를 판별하기 위해서 물리적 촬영 환경과 영상처리 알고리즘은 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 CCFL 형광체를 검사하기 위한 촬영환경에 대하여 설명하고, 촬영환경 중 돔 근거리 조명과 점원거리 조명에서의 몇 가지 불량판별 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 불량을 포함한 CCFL 형광체를 사용하여 실험을 수행하였고, 그 결과 제안한 촬영환경과 알고리즘은 불량 판별율 98.32 %와 과검율 4.88 %의 성능을 나타내었다.

The LCD TV has many variable functions for consumer. Low temperature driving below minus 20 degree is also one of key functions. Since LCD is not self-luminance device, it is needed backlight system. Recently EEFL(External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp) widely substitutes for CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp). It is more cheaper, higher efficiency, and easy to drive parallel connection compared to CCFL. In this paper, several conditions for low temperature driving of EEFL are investigated and a new boost-half bridge inverter for low temperature driving is proposed. Mode analysis is described and experimental results is represented to verify validity of the proposed inverter.

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, which holds images in entire frame period, while impulse type device generate image in very short time. To reduce image sticking problem related to hold type display mode, we made an experiment to drive LCD like CRT. We made articulate images by turn on-off backlight, and we realized the ratio of Back Light on-off time by adjusting between on time and off time for video signal input during 1 frame (16.7ms). Conventional CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) cannot follow fast on-off speed, so we evaluated new fluorescent substances of light source to improve residual light characteristic of CCFL. We realized articulate image generation similar to CRT by blinking drive. As a result, reduced image sticking phenomenon was validated by naked eye and response time measurement.

Recently, LCD Backlight Unit is being replaced from cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL) to external electrode fluorescent lamp(EEFL) because the EEFL has high energy efficiency and long life. Also, it can reduce energy consumption and weight. So far, external electrode ring for EEFL is produced by sheet metal press forming process. Therefore it had low precision and much material loss. To solve these problems, Multi-Forming process that has five step forming process was invented. However, low productivity is another barrier. Product speed that is controlled by the rotational speed cannot be increased due to the unsatisfied design specification. The reason is that the gap between rolled two edge parts of the sheet plate is tightly inspected. Regarding this factor, the understanding of forming behavior to each process is inevitable. This paper describes the CAE analysis of the multi-forming process by PAM-STAMP.

At present, the cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) using mercury lamp has been generally used far liquid crystal backlight source of personal computer and car navigation and so on. This kind of lamp is more excellent on luminance performance and cost. However, the requirements of liquid crystal backlight due to a light source without mercury have been strongly increased from a viewpoint of the actual influence on environmental preservation and environmental recycling. As fluorescent lamp without mercury, Dielectric Barrier Discharge based rare gas fluorescent lamp (DBD-FL) using xenon (Xe) gas has been studied so far. This DBD lamp has no influence on the human body and environmental recycle. Its operating life is long because electrode is out. In this paper, the simulation and experimental results of soft switching high frequency inverter with reverse blocking single switch as a high frequency power supply circuit for DBD-FL using Xe gas are comparatively evaluated and discussed from a practical point of view.
