This paper describes a low-cost omnidirectional camera system designed for the intruder detection capability of a security robot. Moving targets on sequential images are detected first by an adaptive background subtraction technique, and the targets are identified as intruders if they fail to enter a password within a preset time. A warning message is then sent to the owner's mobile phone. The owner can check scene pictures posted by the system on the web. The system developed worked well in experiments including a situation when the indoor lighting was suddenly changed.

This paper presents an architecture for driving multiple parallel cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) for back lighting applications. The key to the architecture is a proposed capacitive coupling approach for lamp ignition. This system is consist of a flyback converter, a single inverter to drive multiple lamps and conductive floating reflector. The topology is capable of driving a number of parallel lamps with independent accurate lamp, current regulation and improving cost effectiveness with significant reduction in size and weight, compared to typical high frequency ac ballast. Experimental demonstration results for ten of parallel CCFLs with simultaneous ignition.

Recently, the small scale photovoltaic (PV) electronic devices are drawing attention as the upcoming PV generation system. The PV system is commonly used in small scale PV applications such as LED lighting and cell phone. This paper proposes photovoltaic output sensorless (POS) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for a small scale charging system of PV-nickel metal hydride battery using field-programmable gate array (FPGA) controller. A converter is connected to a small scale PV cell and battery, and performs the POS MPPT at the battery terminal current instead of being at the PV cell output voltage and current. The FPGA controller and converter operate based on POS MPPT method. The experimental results show that the nickel metal hydride battery is charged by the maximum PV output power.

Due to the enormous progress achieved in light emitting diodes (LEDs) LEDs have been become a good solution for lightings. In LED driver for lighting applications, it is required high input voltage to drive more LEDs. Therefore, high-voltage should be changed to low-voltage to supply power for drive IC. In this paper, LED drive IC using voltage clamp bias circuit, it use a hysteretic-buck converter topology was proposed and verified through experiments.

This paper describes a Push-Pull type high fre-quency resonant inverter conposed of consolidation of boost converter circuit and resonant circuit. By using a boost converter circuit the proposed inverter can obtain a twice input voltage of reson ant circuit and reduce a secondary turn ratios. By using both boost-converter and switching device can be reduce by half. Also the ana-lysis of the proposed circuit was described by using normalized parameter and operating characteristics have been evaluated as to switching frequency and parameters. In the future this pro-posed inverter shows that it can be practically used as a power source system for the lighting equipment of discharge lamp induction heating applications.

In order to increase the power conversion efficiency and improve the power factor, a modified forward converter is proposed, which adopts a capacitive output filter instead of the inductive output filter of the conventional forward converter. Therefore, the proposed converter has wide input voltage range in opposite to that of the conventional forward converters. Moreover, the proposed converter uses the critical conduction mode for automatic current shaping to improve the power factor. As a result, the proposed converter can achieve quasi-resonant zero-voltage-switching, which can minimize the switching loss of main MOSFET. In addition, the operational principle of the proposed converter is analyzed and the characteristic of the proposed converter is investigated in this paper. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed converter, a prototype of 13W is implemented and the experimental results are discussed in more detail.

Recent work in our laboratory has focused on the molecular and supramolecular engineering of conjugated polymers and oligomers for device applications, including light emitting diodes for displays and lighting, photovoltaic cells, and thin film transistors. A central finding is that the supramolecular structure of conjugated polymers can have a dominant influence on their properties and the performance of devices. Some major results include: highly efficient RGB light-emitting diodes from polymers and oligomers; high mobility n-channel polymer field effect transistors; ambipolar thin film transistors from copolymer semiconductors; and self-assembly and ambipolar charge transport in polymer nanowires.

Since Samsung SDI and Sony started mass production of AM-OLED display for mobile/TV applications, OLED technology has emerged as leading candidate among the many technologies under development for next generation Flat panel displays. P-OLED (Polymer Organic Lighting Emitting Diode) technology, a class of OLED, is gathering momentum towards commercialization. P-OLED technology has made tremendous progress in terms of display performance (including life time, efficiency and color gamut) and in the maturity of ink jet printing process and equipment. In order to get into the mobile/TV application market successfully, P-OLED display technology must meet the following display makers' requirements: (1) P-OLED Display Performance in terms of lifetime, efficiency, and color coordinates, (2) Low Cost Manufacturing Technology such as "Solution Processable Printing Technology". P-OLED technology has already overcome many of the hurdles to mass manufacturing. In this paper, the latest developments in ink jet printing technology, including P-OLED material performance, is discussed.

Dopant and host molecules for charge transport layer in OLED have been developed. They enable implementation of the PIN OLED technology in mass production. We review the status of PIN OLED with main focus on top-emission structures and operation stability at elevated temperatures. A green phosphorescent top-emission device with 2.5 V operating voltage and 90 lm/W at 1000 $cd/m^2$ is presented. For a red top-emission device, lifetime exceeding 100,000 h at 500 $cd/m^2$ initial brightness is reported. Operational stability at $80^{\circ}C$ has been investigated. A lifetime of 17,000 h at 500 $cd/m^2$ has been achieved. Finally, we comment on further reduction of the operating voltage in OLED.
