This paper presents a framework for production planning for a Slim MES(Manufacturing Execution System) of module operations in TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display) production lines. There are differences in the line configurations and functions among the module operations in the TFT-LCD production systems. This paper presents the framework for the customized MES reflecting these differences. First, a production process is figured out through the analysis of the TFT-LCD module operations. Next, a mathematical modeling is presented reflecting the constraints of shop floors and an optimal schedule is presented through a case example. And a scheduling process using the dispatching rules reflecting the status of shop floors is presented and the performances are measured and compared. Finally, a design process for the Slim MES framework is presented.

We developed an a-Si TFT-LCD panel with integrated gate driver circuit using a standard 5-MASK process. To minimize the effect of the a-Si TFT current and LC's capacitance variation with temperature, we developed a new a-Si TFT circuit structure and minimized coupling capacitance by changing vertical architecture above gate driver circuit. Integration of gate driver circuit on glass substrate enables single chip and 3-side free panel structure in a-Si TFT-LCD of QVGA(240$^{\ast}$320) resolution. And using double ASG structure the dead space of TFT-LCD panel could be further decreased.

This dissertation represents method concerning high performance prism LGP design in 17 inch TFT-LCD. By means of developing LGP with total size of 8mm that has prism on both upper side and bottom side, it is superior to previous printing way in gaining high brightness. It can realize actual material simulation on prism LGP production using 17inch injection process and about 20% luminance enhancement is achieved based on such method.

In liquid crystal displays, the display mode that represents initial liquid crystal alignment and method of applying voltage, mainly determines the image quality of display. Recently we have developed the fringe-field switching (FFS) mode exhibiting high image quality. In this paper, a pixel concept, manufacturing process, materials, and electro-optic characteristics of the FFS mode comparing with conventional in-plane switching mode, and its possible application to reflective type are discussed.

Recently, TFT LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display) manufacturing industry is more concerned with the ways of cleaning large TFT LCD´s with high pixed density than ever Ultrasonic cleaners with high frequencies like 1MHz (megasonic cleaners) are effective in removing very small particles without causing mechanical damage to the surface. In this study a megasonic cleaner for TFT LCD manufacturing process is developed and the performance is evaluated through experiments. The experimental results show that the developed magasonic cleaners is effective in removing very small particle from the LCD panel.

TFT-LCD process has two advantages as compared with the semiconductor-process. It is that cycle time is short and number of the final products are small. But it needs complicated inspection / assembly line to be treated manually and much higher labor costs in the TFT-LCD process. Also, It is necessary to build PICS(Production Information and Control System) which is automated and intelligent. In this paper, an automated process of LCD module assembly line that can increase productivity and reduce the cost of production to strengthen the competitiveness corresponding with global market is planned in comparison with its manual/semi-auto. It is noted that The automated line for COG$\sim$FOG process replacing with the existing facilities had the following effects; the productivity is increased to about 1.5 times and labor cost reduced 85%. In addition, whole assembly line can be short and simple.

For the large-sized and post-ultra definition TFT-LCD, improved drivability is prerequisite not only for the integration of driving circuit on glass but also for the chargeability of each pixel. In order to meet required drivability, currently adopted process architecture and materials are modified for the RC delay reduction, including the drastic increase of gate bus thickness and its related solution for step coverage. We present new process architecture and material selection for the next generation TFT-LCD devices.

Performance of AMLCD pixels depends on the electrical characteristics of thin film transistor switches. The high quality of LCD can be obtained by minimizing the process and device variations of TFT. The effect of process and device factors on poly-Si TFT characteristics are calculated by ATHENA and ATLAS, and the optimized design windows based on statistical design of experiment are suggested for high performance 20 inch LCD are suggested for high performance 20 inch LCD monitors.

The key development issues in the flexible displays are TFT backplane technology for their various applications, which requires competitive device performance as well as its low temperature process. In this paper, with shortly reviewing recent flexible display development status, we describe technical trends of low-temperature a-Si TFTs. Our TFTs show good device characteristics enough to apply LCD and electrophoretic display.
