The plasma emission characteristics are investigated in cylindrical syringe plasma jet device. Cylindrical syringe electrode is applied AC power using inverter. In the center of syringe is injected into a inert gas and plasma jet occurs. If there is no ground electrode, firing voltage is 3 kV and plasma column length is 10 mm. According to high firing voltage and large current, the plasma column length control is difficult. The case of an internal ground electrode, firing voltage is 1 kV. Because of the losing current from internal ground, even if a higher input voltage, plasma emission does not occur. The case of an external ground electrode, the plasma column can be controlled between 0~10 mm with change the applied voltage from 1 to 2 kV, and the discharging current changed from 1 to 4 mA.

달과 LCD의 공통점은? 둘 다 혼자 빛을 낼 수 없다는 것이다. 아름다운 달빛을 볼 수 있는 이유는 태양 덕분이고, 자체발광 기능이 없는 LCD는 광을 발생하는 BLU(Back Light Unit)가 있기 때문에 선명한 화면을 사용자에게 보여줄 수 있다. 특히 BLU 중에서도 광학필름은 발생한 빛의 손실을 최소화하면서 효율적으로 전달하는 핵심 부품이다. 이렇게 혼자서 빛을 낼 수 없는 LCD를 밝혀주는 '명품 조연 광학필름'으로 세계 시장에 뛰어든 미래나노텍 김철영 대표를 만나 �R다.

The ambipolar diffusion equation has been solved in a fine-tube lamp of a few mm in diameter. In the diffusion of radial direction, the plasma diffuses and vanishes away at the glass wall by recombination with the characteristic time of plasma loss is given by $\tau_r\;=\;(r_0/2.4)^2/D_a$. With the radius $r_0{\sim}1\;mm$ and the ambipolar diffusion coefficient $D_a{\sim}0.01\;m^2/s$, the vanishing time is calculated $\tau_r{\sim}10\;{\mu}s$ which corresponds to the least value of frequency 30 kHz for the sustaining the plasma in the operation of high voltage AC-power. In the diffusion of longitudinal z-direction, a high density plasma generated at the area of a high voltage electrode, diffuses into the positive column with the characteristic time $\tau_z{\sim}0.1\;s$. The plasma diffusion velocity at the boundary of high density plasma is $u_D{\sim}10^2\;m/s$ at the time $t{\sim}10^{-6}$ s and the diffusion velocity becomes slow as $u_D{\sim}1\;m/s$ at $t{\sim}10^{-3}\;s$. Therefore, for the long lamp of 1 m, it takes about several seconds for the high density plasma at the area of electrode to diffuse through the whole positive column space.

TFT-LCD consists of LCD panel on the top, circuit unit on the side and BLU on the bottom. The recent development issues of BLU-dependent TFT-LCD have been power consumption minimization, slimmerization and size maximization. As a result of this trend, LED is adopted as BLU instead of CCFL to increase brightness and to reduce thickness. In liquid crystal displays, the light efficiency is below 10% due to the loss of light in the path from a light source to an LCD panel and presence of absorptive polarizer. This low efficiency results in low brightness and high power consumption. One way to circumvent this situation is to use a reflective polarizer between backlight units and LCD panels. Since a nano-wire grid polarizer has been known as a reflective polarizer, an idea was proposed that it can be used for the enhancement of the brightness of LCD. The use of reflective polarizing film is increasing as edge type LED TV and 3D TV markets are growing. This study has been carried out to fabrication of the nano-wire grid polarizer(NWGP) and investigated the brightness enhancement of LCD through polarization recycling by placing a NWGP between an c and a backlight unit. NWGPs with a pitch of 200nm were fabricated using laser interference lithography and aluminum sputtering and wet etching. And The NWGP fabrication process was using by the UV imprinting and was applied to plastic PET film. In this case, the brightness of an LCD with NWGPs was 1.21 times higher than that without NWGPs due to polarization recycling.

TFT-LCD used in display area is not a light-emissive device itself but TFT-LCD can overcome through the employ of the backlight unit (BLU). BLU is very important device in TFT-LCD system. However, the old-fashion BLU of CCFL type is crucible to the health due to the contained material, mercury (Hg). Moreover, strong temperature dependency of lamp employed with Hg becomes the other disadvantage in practical usage. To solve these problems, Hg-Free lamp with strong thermal resistance property is required to displace the Hg lamp. We studied optical and electrical properties of Xe-Ne-He mixed gas that is dependent on change of mixed ratio and pressure. In our results, the designed lamp without the phosphorescent material has the lowest firing voltage at xe 50%(Ne:He=9:1).

In this paper, scanning backlight unit which can reduce motion blur was designed and fabricated using flat fluorescent lamp. The FFL(flat fluorescent lamp) is in the limelight as a new illuminant of next generation BLU(backlight unit), because of simple assembly and reduction of driving components. In order to control lamp brightness, lamp on-time was controlled. In this experiment, it was confirmed that lamp brightness can be dimmed linealy and in a wide range.

최근 LCD제품은 고유한 특장인 경박단소가 요구되면서, 기존의 Back Light Unit(BLU) 로는 대응할 수 없는 사양으로 진화되고 있다. 기존과 동일한 설계개념으로 접근시에 시장에서 요구되는 중량, 두께, 휘도의 사양을 만족시킬 수 없으며, BLU의 주요광원인 CCFL(Cold Cathod Fluorescent Lamp)의 휘도 개선 또 한 한계에 다다르고 있다. 따라서 앞으로의 BLU 의 고성능화는 최적화, 고효율화로의 개발 전개가 예상되며, LCD의 고해상도에 따른 투과율 저하를 보상하기 위한 고품질 BLU의 개발이 시급한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 BLU의 고효율화, 고품질화를 달성하기 위한 고성능 도광판 개발과 관련하여, 실물 제작에 앞서 광학시뮬레이션을 통한 이론적 접근을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 상측에서 정각 $90^{\circ}$ 에 높이 $50{\mu}m$ 하측에서 정각 $80^{\circ}$ 높이 $28{\mu}m$일때 평균조도가 71.52W/m^2 구현됨을 알 수 있다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 통상의 인쇄 방식 도광판에 비해서 약 20% 정도의 휘도향상이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 차후 본 결과를 바탕으로 한 실물 제작을 통해 설계 시뮬레이션 결과와의 비교를 통해서 정확한 예측이 가능한 시스템을 구현함을 목적으로 하였다.

FFL의 내구성 및 신뢰성 확보를 위해 Lamp 상태에서 원하는 부위에 $-15^{\circ}C$를 유지하기 위한 Cold Spot을 부착하여 Lamp안의 Hg이 완전히 포집되도록 한다. 이후 이 Cold Spot을 제거하여 Hg peak과 Ne Peak의 Ratio의 변화를 관찰하며 Hg이 이동하는 것을 관잘 하여 Lamp 내에서 이동 속도와 Lamp 간에 이동 속도를 확인 할 수 있다. Lamp 내에서는 80분이 경과한 후에 Hg 이동이 Saturation되는 것을 확인 할 수 있고, Lamp 간에는 100시간이 경과후에 Saturation 되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었고, Ratio는 Channel내는 70 ~ 150, Channel간에는 6~10 정도임을 확인하여 Hg이 이동되는 속도와 회복되는 수준을 알 수 있었다.
