A backlight for large-area LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)-TVs has been developed using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Performances of the backlight and the methods driving the LEDs are introduced in this research. A spectral relationship between the LEDs and the color filters of a panel were investigated as well. In order to realize a CRT like dynamic effect, the area-focused luminance control (AFLC) technology was adopted in developing the backlight. Thus, a possibility of applying the LEDs to the backlight for large-area LCD-TVs was systematically proved.

Color dimming technology has been developed for high color gamut and aggressive power saving. In our new algorithm, we proposed a new concept of 'color class', with which it is possible to control RGB color luminance effectively and exactly. We reached color gamut of 155% of NTSC 1976 and reduced power consumption under 100 watt for 46 inch LCD.

Block based LCD backlight nonideality and crosstalk compensation methodologies are proposed based on the analysis of backlight profiles and image pixel homogeneity. Large computation complexity required in the conventional compensations is minimized without the degradation of image qualities by optimizing image block size, image area inside the block to be excluded from the compensation computation and the required backlight range to be computed. The optimization results of computation complexity as well as image qualities are verified for the proposed compensation by real image data simulations.

A light guided plate coupled with the micro Fresnel lens array(MFTA) is designed to improve the efficiency of the LCD backlight unit. Blazed Frenel lens and binary multi-level Fresnel lens are adapted for the MFLA. This type of MFLA can replace the prism sheet and diffuser sheet which are used for the conventional type of the LCD backlight unit. The luminance and uniformity are calculated to verify the performance of the MFLA type LCD backlight unit.

This paper proposes high performance control of light emitting diode(LED) drive system for liquid crystal display(LCD) backlight. The CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent lamp)was used to a conventional LCD backlight. Due to improvement on luminous efficiency, long life and wide color gamut, LED has gradually substituted for CCFL as backlight. The backlight using LED is necessary to use many LED. For that reason, the LED backlight is using a lot of LED driving circuits. The many LED driving circuit is generated a current deviation between LED. Eventually, it is caused brightness deviation between LED. Therefore, this paper improves the current deviation using transformer and balancing capacitor to solve this problem. Also, for accurate and uniform brightness control, this paper is applied the artificial intelligent control to a dimming control. This paper is compared with conventional system, and validity of this paper proves through that result.

LCD backlight boosting and the integration of boosting and dimming are proposed based on image analysis to maximize perceptual image qualities and to reduce display system power. Based on the histogram of the image data, methods for selecting an image suitable for boosting and for adjusting the optimum backlight brightness are proposed. A comprehensive combined optimization method of LCD backlight boosting, dimming and bypass based on image characteristics is also described. Perceptual image quality enhancement and power consumption are evaluated based on well known image databases. Average subjective image quality is improved by 24.8%, RMS contrast is improved more than 20%, and average power consumption is reduced by 15.94% compared to conventional uniform boosting.

The inverter using level control block (LCB) was developed to drive LCD TV backlight using FFL light source. The FFL striking time, time for brightness stabilization, and lamp current of FFL backlight were shown to improve by applying LCB in the inverter. It was also shown that the stable driving of LCD TV FFL backlight with the inverter using LCB was possible over the wide temperature range.

현재 사용하는 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) 장치는 비발광형 LCD장치를 사용하므로 외부광원이 필요하다. 투과형 LCD의 경우는 Panel의 뒷면이나 측면에 전용광원(Backlight unit)을 사용하여 빛을 투과시킴으로서 발광할 수 있도록 하는 방법을 사용한다. 현재는 이러한 투과명을 사용하는 것이 일반화되는 추세로 광원을 LCD전면으로 효율적으로 반사하는 Panel의 뒷면을 설계하는 다양한 방법이 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최적화된 설계를 위한 모델링 도구(Modeling Tool)와 주어진 광원으로부터 LCD 전면으로 출력되는 광량의 분포를 예측하는 시뮬레이터(Simulator)를 제안한다.

A cold cathode flourescent lamp for the backlight in the notebook computer requires high input voltage about 1300(V) when it turns on. But once a discharge starts, the input voltage can be dropped by about one-third for continued output. The equivalent impedance also varies from open to several dozens of kilo-ohms. The piezoelectric transformer converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and then converts it back to electrical energy at a high voltage. Its high output voltage, high efficiency and small size are suitable for driving the LCD backlight in the notebook computer. The piezoelectric transformer operates near the resonance frequency and the output waveform is close to sine wave with very little noise. This paper suggests an inverter for LCD backlight of notebook computer using piezoelectric transformer that includes voltage to frequency converter for gate signal which is useful for tracking of variable resonance frequency depending on load impedance.
