본 연구에서는 최근 의료용으로 많이 사용되고 있는 고휘도, 고균일도의 직하광원구조를 가지는 백라이트 유닛에 대한 설계 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 직하형 백라이트 시스템은 기존의 Edge-Lighr 방식에 비해서 고휘도 및 고균일도를 달성할 수 있어 의료용 판독이 요구되는 고품질의 디스플레이에 사용되고 있으며, 흑백이미지를 바탕으로 진단을 실시하는 경우가 많기 때문에 휘도 및 휘도 균일도에 대한 높은 성능이 요구되는 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 복수 개의 램프를 수평으로 배열한 경우에 각 램프간의 거리 및 반사판과의 거리, 상측 확산판과의 거리에 대한 최적설계를 실시하고, 이 결과를 바탕으로 실물과 유사한 조건에서 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, Parameter 에 의존하는 변수를 최적화 할 수 있었으며, 4.5mm 의 램프와 반사판 거리 및 26mm 의 램프간 거리를 바탕으로 16개의 램프를 배치하여, 32인치 크기의 화면에서 6423nit 의 중심휘도를 갖는 고품위의 우수한 광원의 설계가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, it was investigated about optical simulation in direct-type backlight design. Direct-type backlight has been used high-brightness backlight such as medical LCD application. The key parameter in designing direct-type backlight was consists of three geometrical dimension such as the distance of two lamps, the gap of lamp and reflection plate and the number of lamps. It has many of variations in optical design and it causes the different properties in backlight system. It shows the best values of above parameters; 26 mm of the distance of two lamps, 4.5 mm of the gap of lamp and reflection plate and 16 lamps. And we produced the specimen as above condition, and acquired good result in backlight such as the value of the brightness is 6423 nit in center of emission area and less than 5 % in brightness uniformity. It shows the effective ways of designing backlight system using optical simulation method for medical LCD application.

Cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) has been used as a light source for direct type backlights for LCD monitors or TV. One inverter for one CCFL was necessary for maintaining the lamp current so that many inverters were used to drive as many CCFLs of direct type backlight for LCD TV. An inverter for driving 16 CCFLs was developed to reduce the backlight cost. The length and diameter of CCFL were 450mm and 4mm, respectively. Backlight including 16 CCFLs for 26" LCD TV was assembled by using one inverter. The uniformities of the assembled backlight operated by the conventional inverter and the newly developed inverter were 75% and 88%, respectively.

Recently, According to companies of TFT LCD are making large sized products more and more. In the vortex of Products with a monitor and LCD TV is applied in a technique of a high viewing angle(FFS, IPS, VA). Also, as a high luminance, high speed response time, high degree of a color purity, and so on are continuing to develop a high performance, it is necessary to improve a specific character of high luminance that apply to LCD TV as a LCD BLU. Because a LCD panel for TV usually has a lower resolution that compare to a monitor, the structure of present backlight system can't put out its power even though it has a merit in transmission. Therefore, the examination of improvement about the high luminance direct typed BLU for LCD TV that presupposes several uses of CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) or EEFL(External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp)is actively being progressed. Although it is necessary to increase the number of lamps for applying high performance by the direct type, in this case, because we can design the character of luminance for adoption of high performance. We can satisfy with a level of luminance for LCD TV. Accordingly, we analyzed a change of the number of CCFL, mechanical and optical character to produce the direct typed backlight in 32inches spec. Consequently, we achieved luminance of 6597nit,which was including polarization film, and secured the standard for LCD TV.

A direct light type backlight for large-area LCD-TVs using External Electrode Fluorescent Lamps (EEFLs) has been developed. The brightness was $450cd/m^{2}$(nit) and the luminous uniformity (max/min) was 1.3. The mechanical design of backlight was optimized and the reliability of lamps was secured. As a result, the possibility of backlight with EEFLs for large area LCD-TVs was sufficiently proved.

We focused on improving of the optical efficiency in the direct BLU. We could achieve the optical efficiency by reducing the thickness of BLU and processing the prism shapes on a reflection sheet. And we were able to reduce the Lamps.

In this study, It was studied about the luminance characteristics of 17 inch direct-type back light using EEFL(external electrode fluorescent lamp) and CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent lamp). The EEFL has a long life time because the electrode is installed outside of lamp. And it is produced in lower price than conventional CCFL. Moreover, it does not need process of installing internal electrode. However, the EEFL technology has several problems such as difficulty of designing driving inverter and preventing this phenomenon along the skin of lamps. We suggested two types of backlight unit for LCD TV application using the EEFL and the CCFL. We found optimized optical design parameters. We set the optical variation parameters such as lamp height, lamp distance, total thickness, and angles of inner walls. We achieved 7580 nits of center luminance, 82% of luminance uniformity by using 20 lamps of the EEFL and 7297 nits of center luminance, 78% of luminance uniformity by using 16 lamps of the CCFL.

In this study, It was studied about the luminance characteristics of 17inch direct-type back light using EEFL(External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp). EEFI has a long life time because the electrode is installed outside of lamp. And it is produced low price than conventional CCFL. It does not need process of installing internal electrode. But EEFL technology has several problems such as difficulty of design driving inverter, and prevents leckage current along the skin of lamps. Therefore, by the optimizing of inverter properties, 7525 nit center luminance was acquired in almost same power consumption condition. It was almost same luminance in CCFL backlight unit. And it was operated stably in low operating temperature such as the value of $40^{\circ}C$, so that it was adopted in conventional LCD-TV application.
