LCD 모니터 화면의 대형화와 슬림화에 따른 모니터 내의 백 라이트용 냉음극 방전램프(CCFL)도 가늘어지고 길어지고 있으며, 하나의 램프를 이용한 백 라이트로는 휘도의 한계가 있어 램프를 병렬로 사용해 필요한 휘도를 만들고있다. 멀티램프 구동용 인버터는 소형, 고효율화 뿐만 아니라 대출력이 요구된다. 방전램프가 정밀하고 동일한 제작 과정을 거치더라도 점등, 주파수, 전압, 전류 등 여러 가지 특성이 동일하지 못하다. 이는 각기 상이한 램프특성 때문에 초기 점등조건이나 점등 후 동일한 휘도를 갖기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 멀티램프를 최소의 인버터 개수로 같은 입력조건에서 같은 출력을 갖도록 설계한다. LCD 모니터 내부에 상하 각 2개씩 4개의 램프를 내장하고 있는 18인치형을 이용하였다. 하나의 구동용 인버터를 이용하였으며, 결과적으로 90%이상의 휘도대비 입출력 효율을 얻었으며, 램프간의 출력차이가 미소하여 상용화 가능하며, 또 다른 방전램프의 멀티구동에 이용 가능하다.

Difficulties in developing process of Liquid Crystal Display(LCD) products such as frequent design modifications, various design requirements, and short-term development period bring on the need of integrated design approach that is efficient and easy to handle. Back Light Unit(BLU) of the LCD, which drastically affects the optical performance of LCD products, is divided into in-coupling part and out-coupling part. Serration of the in-coupling part flattens the light received from point light sources and dot pattern of the out-coupling part regularizes the light sent to screen. Therefore, the optical performance of a LCD product is largely influenced by the shape of serration and the arrangement of dot pattern. In this research, a new design approach which enables to improve the optical performance of LCD products and overcome the prementioned difficulties in developing process of LCD products is proposed. The shape of serration is parameterized to 3 parameters and out-coupling part is partitioned into 10 partitions to apply the optimization technique to this problem. 3 parameters for the shape of serration and densities of 10 partitions are used as design variables in the design optimization. Optical simulation tool named SPEOS is used to evaluate the optical performance of the LCD product. Since the optical simulation uses the random ray tracing technique, numerical noise may possibly be included in the simulation process. To solve the problem caused by numerical noise, the PQRSM which can stably find the solution of the noise problem is used in this research.

As the refractive index of the prism layer becomes higher, the optical performance of the prism sheet gets better and the efficiency of the LCD backlight unit is improved. In order to increase the refractive index of the prism layer, the ultraviolet curing type resins were prepared by mixing high refractive index materials containing aromatic groups and the multi-functional reactive diluents. By using 9,9-bis [4-(2-acryloyloxyethoxy)phenyl] fluorene, the refractive index of the prism layer was increased up to 1.58 and the brightness of the backlight unit was improved. Since the light source used in the backlight unit caused the yellowing in the prism sheet and deteriorated the brightness accordingly, the hindered amine light stabilizer was used to improve the yellowing resistance successfully.

기존의 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 이용한 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) 백라이트 유닛은 무부하시 불필요한 전력소모가 발생하는 경우가 있어 보호회로가 필요하였다. 그래서 본 논문은 보호회로를 이용한 LCD 백라이트 유닛용의 LED 구동회로를 제안한다. 제안된 보호회로는 실험 결과 무부하시 피드백 제어부 IC(Integrated Circuit)의 전원전압 VCC를 UVLO(Under Voltage Lock Out)전압 이하로 강하시켜 무부하시 소비되는 전력을 줄일 수 있었다. 또, 무부하시 부스트 컨버터 출력부의 전압스트레스를 줄일 수 있었고, 유부하시 보호회로가 있는 컨버터와 보호회로가 없는 컨버터의 효율비교에서 거의 같은 효율이 측정되었다.

A input voltage conversion dimming control formula and a PMW dimming control formula which have been used for dimming control of CCFL driving inverter in TFT-LCD backlight, are the existing facilities so far, however, in this thesis the circuit is designed by applying The rover inverter that are able to measure output brightness according to changing of duty ratio at PWM and voltage. consequently, it's able to be confirmed that we can have dimming control more detailed than before.

A Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp(CCFL) is used as a LCD Monitor's backlight widely. The most common way to check CCFL's defects is an examination with the naked eye. This naked eye examination can cause examination inconsistencies and industrial disasters. A shooting environment and detection algorithms are important for finding CCFL defects automatically. This paper presents CCFL defect detection algorithms using images captured under the shooting environment with sidelight which is one of the shooting environment we have suggested. The experimental result shows 4.65% of overdetection and 5.37% of unsuccessful defect detection of CCFL.

In this study, it was investigated about optical simulation in highg brightness and high uniformity direct-type backlight design for medical application. 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; 26mm of the distance of two lamps, 4.5mm 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.
