Highly stable gate driver circuit using a-Si TFT has been developed. The circuit has dual-pull down structure, in which bias stress to the TFTs is relieved by alternating applied voltage. The circuit has been successfully integrated in 4-in. QVGA and 14-in. XGA TFT-LCD with a normal a-Si process, which are stable for over 2,000 hours at $60^{\circ}C$. The enhancement of stability of the circuit is attributed to retarded degradation of pull-down TFTs by AC driving.

There has been considerable controversy over the impacts of the tax credit on R&D expenditures in many countries. Korea has adopted various kinds of tax credit system to stimulate private firm' R&D expenditures. Korean government, Recently, is trying to reform tax system to reduce tax credit programmes according to Uruguay Round agreement and in line with OECD policy standards. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of current tax credit system on technology innovation in Korea and derive some policy implications over tax reform. In this paper, firstly, I investigate the size of tax reduction effects from each program in theoretical models and simulate the actual rate of individual tax incentive to a unit of R&D expenditure. I find that theoretically the reserve fund for technology development program has given the largest tax reduction effects to private firms irrespective of the R&D incentive system reform. Tax credit on R&D expenditure also has been very effective instrument to firm's tax reduction. Secondly, I try to measure the effectiveness of tax credit through the estimation of effective margianl tax rate between with the system and without the system of credit on R&D expenditure during the tax credit reform periods. I find that the tax credit on R&D has lowered firm's investment cost since the system introduced. I also have strong results that there has been a positive relation between the fluctuation of firm's R&D expenditure and the change of effective marginal tax rate. I suggest that it is better to sustain the system of tax credit on R&D for a while to increase firm's R&D expenditure.

The aim for this study is to suggest a practical model to measure the financial values of the achievements from corporate research and development(R&D) projects. Performance indicators for R&D projects were identified from the extensive literature reviews and the evaluation methods to convert them into financial values were proposed to overcome the problems of excessive predictions and subjective expert assessments in existing methods. The proposed model was applied to R&D projects of an IT company in Korea for its validity test. The model is expected to be a turning point in economic evaluation of corporate R&D projects in general due to its practical and reasonable scheme.

We investigate the effect of government and public sector R&D Investment at IT Industry on the amount of Production, export and nongovernment R&D Investment at IT Industry. We, firstly, examine the stationarity of each variable by the unit root t-test and perform the co-integration test for the pairs of variables. We use YECM(Vector Error Correction Model) according to the results of co-integration test for the examination of Granger-causality between variables. It is found that there exist an Granger-causality between public sector R&D Investment and nongovernment R&D investment and also between public sector R&D Investment and export. Secondly, we analyze the impulse response of government and public sector R&D Investment at IT Industry on the amount of production, export and nongovernment R&D investment at IT Industry based on VECM model. It is found that the response of the amount of production is highest at 3th period and is lowest at 8th period and that of export shows similar pattern.

The importance of intangible assets have increased unprecedentedly with the advent of the knowledge-based society. Investment in R&D has contributed to the rise of productivity and firm-value in the capital markets. but it is very difficult to determine the economic benefits of R&D investment, due to elusive link between time requirements and the realization of firm value from R&D investment. This study examines the differential effects of R&D expenditure and patents on firm-value by industry. Patents are intangible, proprietary rights that develops new products, plays a crucial role in market competition and results in research and development activities. If firms get patents, their R&D expenditure is assumed to be successful. The study analyzes whether successful R&D expenditure has a significant effect on the firm-value. The study considers two industries : high-tech industries and low-tech industries. These industries are expected to have different effect on R&D expenditure and firm-vale. The results of the study indicate that the successful R&D expenditure increased the firm-value. Successful R&D expenditure in high-tech industries more increased the firm-value more than that in low-tech industries.

The purpose of this study is developing a information support system for R&D decision making to maximize economic results of the R&D. This system is composed of studying the model of work flow for R&D decision making, analyzing a technology information, connecting with the databases from KISTI and others, and valuing R&D technology on line. Especially in the case of technology valuation, this system is combined with the valuation model which supports knowledge information for helping more objective estimation.

This study seeks to analyze trends in Korean government support for marine biotechnology R&D investment. The quantitative analysis proposed in this paper provides useful data to inform government policy making decisions in relation to R&D investment in the marine biotechnology. Data used in this study is from NTIS (National Science & Technology Information Service) DB. Empirical results indicate that national R&D investment in the area of marine biotechnology has recently been increased in terms of the number of R&D programs and the amount of R&D investment. The results also show that the R&D programs in the area of marine biotechnology involve various Ministries of the government of Korea, although the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF) performed a key role in the R&D investment in the marine biotechnology. Finally, the results of social network analysis in this study reveals that most of the R&D programs in the area of marine biotechnology seeks the development of new materials using unique features of marine bioresources.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics and limitations of various R&D processes. And to propose new R&D processes by analyzing the characteristics of the era of the fourth industrial revolution that will lead to innovative changes throughout the industry. Methods: Research method is to analyze the previous research on existing R&D process and draw out implications, and develop a new R&D process model that reflects characteristics of the fourth industrial revolution era. Results: This study analyzes the characteristics and situation of existing R&D process and derives the features of parallel structure and modularity suitable for the 4th industrial revolution era, characterized by super connectivity, super intelligence, super fusion. And propose a R&D process model that can respond flexibly and promptly to various market and customer needs. Conclusion: Suggestions for the development of R&D processes suitable for the fourth industrial revolution era will present new strategies and measures and provide diverse & innovative opportunities.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the spillover effect of R & D investment focusing on agriculture sector. Therefore, the Korean industry is divided into 18 industries and the data period including 1970 ~ 2014 is analyzed. In addition, the method is based on the analysis of the production function, the growth contribution of the production factor, and the spillover effect of other industries that affect the agricultural output. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, R & D investment has a positive effect on the production of Korean agriculture. Second, the impact of high tech industry R & D investment on Korean agriculture is positive. Third, the R & D investment in the public sector is relatively higher than the R & D investment in the private sector. In the R & D stage, the R & D investment of the first level technology has a great influence on the production of agriculture. As a result of this study, governments should consider the above mentioned research results to determine resource priorities based on limited resources in relation to R & D investments that contribute to production and economic growth.
