In this study, the system was composed of the booster chopper and the power converter, which is a pulse width modulation (PWM) voltage inverter using a hybrid power generation system solar cell energy and wind force, Furthermore, in order to compensate the PWM voltage type inverter was linked with the general commercial power source, and through a normal operation of energy storage system (ESS), the system operated the LED Taxi Light by Wavelength according to Meteorological Changes at the airport in an efficient manner. The performance of the system was compared with the solar cell characteristics specification. In addition, for phase synchronization with the PWM voltage type inverter, the grid voltage was detected so as to operate the grid voltage and inverter output in the same phase and to connect the surplus electric power with the system. Finally, by developing a control circuit at the same time from which an excellent dynamic characteristics can be obtained through applying to the airport runway taxi light, it was concluded that a variety of taxi light can be pursued.

Recently, the LED(Light Emitting Diode) replacing incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent light has great attentions as a most promising candidate for the next generation lighting source due to its environment-friendly characteristics, long life and excellent efficiency. Moreover, since it is a semiconductor device which can convert the electric energy to visible light at a very high speed, it can also used as a communication device. Therefore, the VLC(Visible Light Communication) using the LED can perform the near field communication and lighting function at the same time without additional expenses. However, since the switching device of the conventional LED driver for VLC is operated in the linear region, there exist several drawbacks such as a poor power conversion efficiency and serious heat generation. On the other hand, since the proposed driver is operated in the on/off switching region, it features a higher efficiency and more improved heat generation. To verify the validity of the proposed LED driver, experimental results from a prototype of 20W rated LED driver applied to 3MHz bps broadcasting audio system are given.

We developed an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etcher for GaN etching using a parallel plasma electrode source with a multifunctional chuck matched to it in order for the low power consumption and low process cost in comparison with the conventional ICP system with a helical-type plasma electrode source. The optimization process condition using it for the micro light-emitting diode (µ-LED) chip fabrication was established, which is an ICP RF power of 300 W, a chuck power of 200 W, a BCl₃/Cl₂ gas ratio of 3:2. Under this condition, the mesa structure with the etch depth over 1 ㎛ and the etch angle over 75° and also with no etching residue was obtained for the µ-LED chip. The developed ICP showed the improved values on the process pressure, the etch selectivity, the etch depth uniformity, the etch angle profile and the substrate temperature uniformity in comparison with the commercial ICP. The µ-LED chip fabricated using the developed ICP showed the similar or improved characteristics in the L-I-V measurements compared with the one fabricated using the conventional ICP method

LED는 기존조명에 비해 친환경적이고, 긴 수명을 갖기 때문에 현재에 이르러 광고조명이나 백라이트 유닛 그리고 실내 외 조명으로 각광받기 시작했다. LED를 조명으로 사용 함에 있어서 LED의 PN 접합부에서 발생하는 접합온도 상승을 고려해야한다. 접합온도 상승은 LED의 광 출력과 수명의 감소, 광색의 변화를 초래하기 때문에 광 출력 및 광색을 유지시키고, 수명을 예측하기 위해서는 LED의 접합온도를 일정하게 유지시키는 LED 전용의 전력제어 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문은 LED 접합온도 측정 시스템과 구동전원을 설계 및 제작하였으며, 측정된 온도를 구동전원에 궤환시켜 접합온도를 일정하게 유지시키는 시스템을 제안하였다.

A new active LED driver with high power factor (PF) and low total harmonic distortion (THD) compatible with a rapid-start ballast is proposed. An LC input filter is attached to the ballast to increase PF and reduce THD. A boost converter is then installed to regulate the LED current, where an unstable operating region has been newly identified. The unstable region is successfully stabilized by feedback control with two zeroes. The extremely high overall system of the 10th order is completely analyzed by the newly introduced phasor transformed circuits in static and dynamic analyses. Although a small DC capacitor is utilized, the flicker percentage of the LED is drastically mitigated to 1% by the fast controller. The proposed LED driver that employs a simple controller with a start-up circuit is verified by extensive experiments whose results are in good agreement with the design.

Typical Retro-reflectors installed on road have problems such as limiting a driver's visibility at night when it is foggy or rainy. On the other hand, LED illuminated studs, called cat's eye system, extends a driver's visibility under these conditions. In this paper, we present a design of the LED cat's eye system using solar energy that can sustain vehicles with about 30-ton weight and is compliant with the IP68 code for water proof as IEC standard 60529. In addition, we propose a scheme of designing a LED driving circuit consuming low power to take into accounts cold weather or rainy season with limited sunlight. This LED cat's eye studs is currently installed and used on expressway and bike route nationally as well as overseas.

In order to substitute incandescent lamps, a power supply device for 7W class LED lamps which are environmentally friendly and energy saving is designed LED lamps consist of a multitude of chip LED connected in parallel and series. 11ms it is necessary to supply LED lamps with DC voltage and current. However, when LED lamps are in use, they are connected directly to AC 220V. This is why we need to have AC/DC, DC/DC power converters including a control system of voltage and current. For this, a transformerless and simple LED lamp driver is designed 조ich can control the current and output voltage for LED string of LED lamp.
