Driver IC is one of the key components on the LCD monitor and LCD/TV. The function of the driver IC is to transfer and forward the input signals to LCD panel module. Inside driver IC, there are several operating units which process the input signals and generate the appropriate size and resolution to the LCD panel module. LCD panel module will display these input signals. However, there are some difficulties which driver IC designer, LCD monitor and LCD/TV maker will face. Thus, this article addresses the function and difficulties on driver IC.

In this paper, the Timed Petri-Nets(TPN) modeling of Modular Cell Manufacturing Systems(MCMS) was investigated to overcome the limit of batch mode operation, which has been one of the most popular manufacturing types to produce an extensive industrial output and to be able to adopt to suitable and quickly changing manufacturing environments. A model of the MCMS was developed in reference to the actual TFT-LCD manufacturing system. TFT-LCD manufacturing system is not mass-productive in batch mode, but it operates in the form of MCMS which consists of a sequence of several cells with four processes of operation, including those of color filter(C/F), TFT, cell, and module. The cell process is further regrouped in those of Front-End and Back-End. For the Back-End cell process, it is reconstructed into a virtual model, consisting of three cells. The TPN modeling encompasses those properties, such as states and operations of machines, the number of buffers, and the processing time. The performance of the modeling was further examined in terms of scheduling system. The productivity in each cells was examined with respect to the change of failure rate of the cell machines and Automatic Guided Vehicles(AGV) using simulation by TPN.

휴대용 기기의 소비 전력을 낮추고 영상의 질을 개선하기 위해, 주변 밝기에 따라서 LCD 모듈의 백라이트를 조정하는 방법을 사용할 수 있다. 이를 효과적으로 구현하기 위해서 LCD 패널에 광 센서와 신호취득 회로를 집적하고자 했으며, LTPS TFT 공정을 이용하여 설계했다. 서로 다른 LCD 패널의 광 센서에 대한 특성 편차를 보정하기 위해 새로운 개념의 start-up 보정 방식을 제안하였다. 이와 더불어 광 전류 정보를 디지털 형태로 전달하기 위해 time-to-digital 방식을 사용하였으며, 이를 start-up 보정 방식과 효과적으로 결합하는 dual slope 보정 방법을 제안하였다. LTPS TFT 공정을 이용하여 최종적인 신호취득 회로를 구현하고자, 간단하고 안정적인 회로 구조와 타이밍을 제안하고 설계 및 검증을 진행했다. 설계한 신호취득 회로는 별도의 검사 설비 없이 광 센서 편차의 보정이 가능하며, 60dB 범위의 입력 광에 대해 10배수 구간 마다 4 단계의 디지털 데이터를 출력한다. 신호취득 속도는 100Hz이며, 디지털 변환의 선형 오차는 18% 미만이다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate types and characteristics of chemical substances used in LCD(Liquid crystal display) panel manufacturing process. Methods: The LCD panel manufacturing process is divided into the fabrication(fab) process and module process. The use of chemical substances by process was investigated at four fab processes and two module processes at two domestic TFT-LCD(Thin film transistor-Liquid crystal display) panel manufacturing sites. Results: LCD panels are manufactured through various unit processes such as sputtering, chemical vapor deposition(CVD), etching, and photolithography, and a range of chemicals are used in each process. Metal target materials including copper, aluminum, and indium tin oxide are used in the sputtering process, and gaseous materials such as phosphine, silane, and chlorine are used in CVD and dry etching processes. Inorganic acids such as hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid are used in wet etching process, and photoresist and developer are used in photolithography process. Chemical substances for the alignment of liquid crystal, such as polyimides, liquid crystals, and sealants are used in a liquid crystal process. Adhesives and hardeners for adhesion of driver IC and printed circuit board(PCB) to the LCD panel are used in the module process. Conclusions: LCD panels are produced through dozens of unit processes using various types of chemical substances in clean room facilities. Hazardous substances such as organic solvents, reactive gases, irritants, and toxic substances are used in the manufacturing processes, but periodic workplace monitoring applies only to certain chemical substances by law. Therefore, efforts should be made to minimize worker exposure to chemical substances used in LCD panel manufacturing process.

본 논문에서는 TFT-LCD 구동 IC 모듈의 소형화측면에서 유리한 DC-DC 변환기 회로인 펌핑 커패시터 내장형 비중첩 부스트-클락 전하펌프 (Non-overlap Boosted-Clock Charge Pump: NBCCP) 회로가 제안되었다 .2VDC 전압으로 스윙하는 비중첩 부스트-클럭의 사용으로 기존의 펌핑 커패시터 내장형 크로스-커플드 전하펌프에 비해 펌핑 단의 수를 반으로 줄일 수 있었고, 전하 펌핑 노드의 펌핑된 전하가 입력 단으로 역류되는 현상을 방지하였다 . 그 결과 제안된 펌핑 커패시터 내장형 비중첩 부스트-클럭 전하펌프 회로는 기존의 펌핑 커패시터 내장형 크로스-커플드 전하펌프에 비해 펌핑 전류가 증가하였고, 레이아웃 면적은 감소되었다. 제안된 TFT-LCD 구동 IC용 DC-DC 변환기 회로를 $0.18{\mu}m$ Triple-Well CMOS 공정을 사용하여 설계하고, 테스트 칩을 제작 중에 있다.

We verified the charged static electricity on LCD glass influences upon the etching uniformity of dry etching process by plasma. In the TFT-LCD manufacturing process, we mainly paid attention to eliminate the static electricity for TFT reliability. The static electricity caused the serious ununiformity of etching surface profile and etching rate in the dry etch process. Through our experiment on the made static electricity from -200V to -1000V, it was confirmed that the static electricity on LCD glass caused the etching rate variation of $1.5%{\sim}15%$. We recommend the etching process equipment for LCD manufacturing have to establish the soft X-ray exposure module system for eliminating the static electricity inside the loading and unloading chamber.

본 논문에서는 상용 TFT-LCD 빔 프로젝터를 이용하여 XGA급($1024{\times}768$) 초고해상 공간 광변조기(SLM)를 구현하고 광세기 및 위상변조 특성을 분석하였다. 즉, 상용 빔 프로젝터의 광학 모듈, 프로젝션 램프 및 팬들을 제거한 후 이를 효과적으로 보상할 수 있는 전자회로를 설계 제작 및 추가하여 관련 모듈제거 이전과 동일한 환경을 만들어 줌으로써 XGA급 초고해상 공간 광 변조기를 구현하였다. 구현된 초고해상 TFT-LCD 공간 광 변조기의 특성을 실험한 결과, 그레이 준위에 따른 선형적인 광 세기 및 위상변조 특성을 측정하였고 이를 분석한 결과 현재 상용화되어 있는 고가의 공간 광 변조기와 비교하여 높은 해상도와 위상변조 특성에 대한 우수한 선형성을 확인함으로서 저가의 고해상 공간 광 변조기의 구현은 물론, 이를 통한 광 정보처리 및 3D 디스플레이 시스템 또는 공간 주파수 필터 등의 입력 소자로서의 이용 가능성을 제시하였다.

A light-guide is one of several important components of backlight unit in TFT-LCD. The manufacturing technology and optical system design of the light guide is very sensitive to quality and cost of the TFT-LCD module. In the present study a new manufacturing method which is called as direct surface forming(DSF) has been tested under various conditions. DSF is very similar to the well-known hot embossing except for partial contact between mold and substrate. The final V-groove pattern shows different shapes depend on the temperature of mold surface, contact time of mold and depth of V-groove.
