  • The liquid crystal(LC) display is the most promising technology of the flat panel displays covering all applications from small mobile to large television applications. To understand the operating principles and improve the performances of the various LC displays, one should grasp the anisotropic nature of the LC and the propagation of light in the anisotropic media. Basic formulas governing the distribution of the LC molecules, directly related to the electro-optic effects of the LC devices, are described in view of the macroscopic interaction. Based on the matrix representation, the polarization analysis for the LC devices is also presented.

  • The electro-optic polarization transmission characteristics of a liquid crystal (LC) cell is represented by a rotational transformation on the Poincare sphere, and its characteristic parameters, the angle and the axis of the rotation, are experimentally determined with respect to the voltage applied to the LC cell. From the experimental data obtained, we determine driving voltage for the LC cell to give the rotation angle near $180^{\circ}$ of the rotation for the change of the state of the LC cell from non-select to select state, which is a necessary condition for the realization of maximally bright images. The directions of the transmission axes of the polarizer and the analyzer which form a liquid crystal display panel together with the LC cell, are determined from the general characteristics of the rotaional transformation of the LC cell. cell.

  • Recently, the high speed rotation and accuracy is needed in the field of electro-optic devices. But it is difficult for ball bearing to satisfy such conditions. So, we have developed the hemispherical type aerodynamic bearing for LSU(Laser Scanning Unit) motor. The hemispherical type aerodynamic bearing is able to support radial and axial load simultaneously. In this research, We have developed mass production method and tested the perromance of aerodynamic bearing in comparision with ball bearing at the speed of 23,000rpm. In the result, we proved that the properties of aerodynamic bearing is better than ball bearing's.

  • We reported pushing of colloidal particles by a moving isotropic-nematic phase boundary. Here, we report tailoring the structure of 3-dimensional networks formed by these particles by adjusting the rate of phase transition and by application of an electric field. The resulting networks affect the electro-optic performance of liquid crystal devices.

  • With the recent advent of various ultrashort pulse lasers, time-resolved laser spectroscopic techniques have been widely recognized as versatile tools to study ultrafast phenomena in many research areas. These techniques are currently being employed not only to study atomic and molecular physics but to characterize the excited state or the carrier dynamics on surfaces of semiconductors, metals and thin layer materials. Also the sweetching speed measurement of ultrafast electro-optic devices using ultrashort laser pulses becomes important in high-speed electronics. Here, some principles of spectroscopic techniques with ps or fs lasers and their applications are summarized briefly.

  • Truing process is a very important process for recovering the shape of wheels worn by continuous grinding operation. In this study, the devices, controller, and spindle for electro-discharge truing were developed, and the electro-discharge truing method was applied to metal-bonded grinding wheels and compared with the conventional truing method. The shapes of the grinding wheels were measured by a surface profile measurement device. The protrusion of abrasives on the surface of the wheels was compared with the conventional truing method using an optic microscope measurement device. The experimental results showed that the performance of the electro-discharge truing method, in terms of the protrusion of abrasives on the surface of the wheels and the recovery of the shape of the worn wheels, was similar to that of the conventional truing method.

  • The electro-optic properties of polymer-dispersed liquid crystal cells containing BDVE(Butanediol vinyl ether) in PN393 base pre-polymer were examined. The higher the contents of BDVE, the smaller becomes the droplet size. However, the droplet size was saturated around $3{\mu}m$ even at 40 wt% of BDVE. Both of contrast ratio and response time of PDLC cell fabricated with a new formula were found to be superior to the reference cell with PN393 by the factor of 4.9 and 0.15, respectively. However, the new formula made the operating voltage go higher compared to the reference cell of PN393 formula. Except for contrast ratio, response time as well as operating voltage were found to be highly stabilized by adding BDVE in PN393 base pre-polymer over the temperature range of $0{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ studied.

  • Applications of smart sensors have been extended to safety systems in the aerospace, transportation and civil engineering fields. In particular, structural health monitoring techniques using smart sensors have gradually become necessary and have been developed to prevent dangers to human life and damage to assets. Generally, smart sensors are based on electro-magnets and have several weaknesses, including electro-magnetic interference and distortion. Therefore, fiber optic sensors are an outstanding alternative to overcome the weaknesses of electro-magnetic sensors. However, they require expensive devices and complex systems. This paper proposes a new, affordable and simple sensor system that uses a single fiber to monitor pressures at multiple-points. Moreover, a prototype of the sensor system was manufactured and tested for a feasibility study. Based on the results of this experimental test, a relationship was carefully observed between the bend loss conditions and light-intensity. As a result, it was shown that impacts at multiple-points could be monitored.

  • An electro-optic system using linear photosensitive Charge Coupled Devices(CCDs) having dummy pixels has been proposed for realzation of linear prodictor in the differential pulse code modulation(DPCM). The system consists of three components as conventional system:input light source, spatial filter(mask) and CCD line scanning sensor. For the delay time due to the dummy pixels in CCD, modifying conventional mask, a new dispersive mask is proposed, of which every prediction coefficient is dispersed on the more than one element, the characteristics of the system using the proposed dispersive mask are analyzed theoretically and verified with experiment.
