In the injection-molded light guide plate the replication quality, i.e. the reproduction accuracy, of micro-patterns should be high and uniform over the entire surface area. However technical difficulty in meeting the necessary replication quality arises as the plate size becomes large for TV applications. We propose a simulation technique to optimize the distribution of micro-patterns on a 55-inch injection molded light guide plate considering non-ideal replication quality of micro-patterns. The luminance uniformity could be improved by more than 16% by optimizing the pattern distribution in spite of the same replication quality.

PURPOSES : This study aimed to evaluate the appropriateness of safety with the standard for threshold zone luminance as specified in the Recommendation for Lighting of Traffic Tunnel, which has been widely adopted worldwide. METHODS : A driving test of the subject in a full-scale road tunnel was conducted. The adaptation luminance and threshold zone luminance, which should be known for the driver to perceive an object within stopping sight distance, were obtained. These values were compared with the adaptation luminance and threshold zone luminance obtained by the existing reduced model test and tunnel lighting standard that has served as a guideline for the current threshold zone luminance standard. RESULTS : According to this study, threshold zone luminance should be increased to at least 1.8 times the value proposed in the existing studies and to twice the domestic tunnel lighting standard (KS C 3703: 2014). CONCLUSIONS : The threshold zone luminance proposed in this study differs largely from that obtained from indoor tests and from the current tunnel lighting standard used worldwide; this difference may be attributed to the fact that the indoor tests did not incorporate driving workload, non-uniformity of luminance distribution in terms of sight, and factors that reduce the visibility of the driver, such as the light reflected into the driver's eyes. Hence, it is necessary to further review the factors that reduce the visibility of drivers approaching tunnels in order to determine the rational tunnel threshold zone luminance.

본 논문에서는 에지 방식의 BLU(Backlight unit)에 사용되는 도광판의 구조를 최적화하여 광학시트를 줄이면서 휘도와 균일도 및 시야각을 유지하기 위한 이중구조의 도광판을 설계하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 휘도와 균일도를 알아보았다. 여기에 사용된 복합 도광판은 이중구조의 도광판으로 상부에는 곡률 R을 갖는 프리즘패턴을 형성하고 곡률 R에 따른 휘도와 균일도를 시뮬레이션하였다. 하부에는 V groove 패턴을 회전시켜 상부패턴과 $90^{\circ}$를 이루게 하여 균일도를 확보하였다. 특히, 하부 패턴에서는 외곽의 피치 간격과 중심의 피치간격의 비(최대:최소), 패턴의 개수와 패턴의 분산을 정의할 수 있는 프로그램을 설계하여 V groove 사이의 간격을 결정하였다. 복합 도광판(dual-layer light guide plate, DLGP)의 최적화를 위해 다시 하부 패턴의 개수를 변화시켜 균일도를 알아보았다. 시뮬레이션 결과 복합 도광판을 이용한 BLU는 균일도 90.6%, 시야각 $145^{\circ}$인 특성을 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

A light guide panel is an element of the LCD backlight module that is often used for the display of compact electronic devices. In this study, a laser marking system is proposed to fabricate light guide panel, which can replace other manufacturing methods such as silk printing, stamping, or v-cutting methods. The objective of this research is to evaluate the process parameters of the laser marking system. Light guide patterns were marked with a 50W $CO_2$ laser (CW) to understand the effects of average power and scanning speed on the geometry and quality of groove pattern. The width of the fabricated grooves increases with increasing laser power and decreasing scan speed. In order to analyze surface characteristics and optical properties (luminance, uniformity), SEM photography and BM7 (luminance measuring system) were used. As a result, the optimal conditions of the process parameters were determined.

Optical structures of a tapered ultra-thin light guide film (LGF) were optimized by optical simulation for increasing coupling efficiency between light sources and the LGF. A serration pattern on the entrance side surface could provide a comparable coupling efficiency to that of the conventional LGF where a linear, asymmetric prism array was formed on the taper surface. Several micro-patterns were applied to the top and/or bottom surface of the LGF for achieving better luminance property, and it was found that an optimized micro-pyramid pattern exhibited the highest average luminance together with satisfactory luminance uniformity.

To operate organic light emitting device (OLED) with alternating current (AC) power source without AC/DC(direct current) converter, we fabricated the fluorescent OLED and measured the emission characteristics with AC and DC. The OLED operated by AC showed higher maximum current efficiency of 8.2 cd/A and maximum power efficiency of 8.3 lm/W. But current efficiency and power efficiency of AC driven OLED showed worse than DC driven OLED at high voltage above 10 V. This result can be explained by the peak voltage of AC was $\sqrt{2}$ times than DC, In case of low driving voltage the emission characteristics were improved by the peak voltage of AC, but in case of high driving voltage the emission efficiencies were decreased by the roll off phenomena. Finally, serial OLED arrays using twelve OLEDs driven by AC 110 V showed average voltage of 9.17 V, voltage uniformity of 99.0%, average luminance of $1,175cd/m^2$, luminance uniformity of 94.4%.

목적: 판독용 모니터의 성능을 평가하는데 있어 불필요한 시간 및 인력 등을 줄이고 판독의 최적화 유지와 모니터의 upgrade 시기, 그리고 교체 시기를 결정할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하는데 필요한 적절한 수준의, 일정기간의 성능평가 관리 주기 및 calibration 주기를 결정하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 판독용 LCD 컬러 모니터(CCL350i, Totoku, Japan) 20대를 대상으로 2007년 3월부터 8월(첫 calibration 후 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8개월째)까지 매달 1회에 걸쳐 한 달 주기로 총 6회의 성능 평가를 하였다. 성능 평가에 사용된 측정 도구는 휘도계(DTP 94 39630, X-Rite Inc. U.S.A.)와 조도계(LX-101 Q031871, Lutron, U.S.A.) 그리고 모니터 성능관리 프로그램인 AAPM TG 18 protocol를 이용하였다. 성능평가 항목은 기하학적 왜곡(geometric distortion), 반사 테스트(reflection test), 휘도 반응 평가(luminance response evaluation), 휘도 균일도(luminance uniformity), 분해능(resolution), 노이즈(noise), 베이링 그레어(veiling glare), 색도(chromaticity) 등 8개 항목을 포함하였다. 결과: 기하학적 왜곡 평가와 반사 테스트, 휘도 균일도 테스트, 분해능, 노이즈 평가, 베이링 그레어 테스트, 색도 테스트 등은 AAPM TG 18에서 권고하는 기준치에 모두 부합되었다. 휘도반응평가 중 예측되는 최대 휘도와 관측되는 휘도의 편차 항목에서 4개월째부터 25%(4대)의 모니터가 8개월째까지 기준 편차를 벗어나기 시작하였으며, 8개월째에는 다른 모니터 7대에서도 편차를 보이기 시작하여 전체적으로 55%(11대)의 모니터에서 기준 편차를 벗어나고 있었다. 또한 대조도 반응의 편차 항목에서 4개월째부터 예측되는 최대 휘도와 관측되는 휘도의 편차의 기준치를 벗어나기 시작한 4대의 모니터 중 5%(1대)에서 4개월째부터 8개월째까지, 또다른 2대는 8개월째부터 편차를 보여 전체적으로 8개월째에는 15%(3대)의 모니터에서 기준 편차를 벗어났다. 결론: 성능평가의 주기는 calibration 후 4개월째부터 오차 범위를 벗어나는 결과와 모니터 수 그리고 성능 검사에 소요되는 인력 및 시간을 고려할 때 3개월에 한번씩 평가함이 효율적이라고 판단된다. 또한 calibration 주기는 8개월째부터 50% 이상에서 편차를 보인 결과 및 성능평가 주기를 고려할 때 calibration 후 6개월을 주기로 calibration을 다시 시행하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Electrical and optical characteristics of Powder type EL display(P-ELD) in this study are described, In experimental results of V-J, current are increased with increasing the frequency and voltage. Luminance was increased with frequency. This is due to the positive space charge formed to cathode region. Lumiance at 150V, 20 kHz has $840\;cd/m^2$. This tendency is due to the decrease of capacitive reactance in insulator layer. Uniformity of P-ELD shows 97%. CIE chromaticity with increasing frequency are shifted toward blue color. It can be explained in tenn of the difference of recombination energy.
