  • OLED(Organic Light Emitting Device)는 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)의 뒤를 잇는 차세대 디스플레이의 선두주자로서 자체발광형이기 때문에 백라이트 등의 보조광원이 불필요하며, 구동전압이 낮고 넓은 시야각과 빠른 응답속도 등의 특징을 가지고 있다. 또한 플렉서블 기판을 사용할 수 있어 차세대 디스플레이인 플렉서블 디스플레이에 적합하다. 플렉서블한 디스플레이를 만들기 위해서 플라스틱 기판에 OLED 물질을 사용하여 기존에 무겁고, 깨지기 쉬우며, 변형이 불가능한 유리로 만든 소자 보다 더 가볍고 깨지지 않고 변형이 가능한 플렉서블 디스플레이를 제작 할 수 있다. 그러나 플라스틱 기판은 매우 큰 투습율을 가지고 있어 OLED소자에 적용시키면 공기 중의 수분이나 산소와 접촉이 많아져 쉽게 산화되어 소자의 효율 및 수명이 짧아진다. 또한 OLED에 사용되는 유기물도 산소나 수분에 의해 특성이 급격히 저하되기 때문에 산소 및 수분의 차단은 필수적이다. 이러한 단점을 최소화하기 위해서 PECVD(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition)로 만든 SiON(Silicon Oxynitride) 박막을 차단막(Passivation layer)으로 사용하였다. PECVD를 이용하여 SiON 박막을 증착시킬 때 RF Power, 공정압력, Distance의 변화에 따른 박막의 결정화도, 수분투습도, 광투과도 등의 특성을 FT-IR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), Ellipsometer, UV-visible Spectrophotometer, MOCON를 이용하여 SiON 박막의 특성을 고찰하였다.

  • An understanding of tribological behavior in CMP(Chemical Mechanical Polishing) is one of the most important things to reveal the mechanism of material removal. In CMP, the contact type is thought to be semi-direct, elastohydrodynamic contact type from the Stribeck diagram, which is a combination of solid-solid direct contact and hydrodynamic lubrication with thin liquid film. This study is focused on the decay of friction force during CMP from two points of view, one of which is change of the real contact area and the other is the decrease of the elastic modulus of the pad caused by the increase of the temperature during CMP Experiments are implemented with elastic modulus measuring system and tool dynamometer. Results show that the decay of friction force during CMP results from the decrease of the real contact pressure working on an abrasive, which is induced by the decrease of elastic modulus of pad caused by the increase of temperature. And, the phenomenon is thought to be happen specially in the case that the weight concentration of abrasive in slurry is small enough.

  • In this study we consider the problem of production planning of TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor - Liquid Crystal Display) production factory. Due to the complexities of the TFT-LCD production processes, it is difficult to schedule the production planning, and the study about automated scheduler is insufficient. In addition, the existing production method is a Push-System to raise the operation rate with expensive equipment, that has the problem to satisfy the due-date. This study presents an algorithm having a concept of Pull-System that satisfies the due-date and considers specialties of TFT-LCD production process. We make MPS(Master Production Schedule) according to the sales order, and present algorithms for scheduling about In/Out plan considering factory capacity, line balancing, material requirement, and inventory level of all Array, Cell, and Module processes. These algorithms are integrated as an automated production system, and we implement them in the actual TFT-LCD factory circumstance.

  • In this paper, we propose the delta-shaped interpolation method for displaying multi-source video signals on a-Si TFT LCD Panel. The proposed method can be implemented by using less circuits than the conventional methods. Thus it can be applied to the FPD(Flat Panel Display) system without any cost increase such as field memory cost. In order to compare the picture quality of the proposed method with that of the conventional methods, the computer simulation has been executed by checking PSNR, which is especially focused on the edge characteristics. The simulation results show that the proposed method is better than others from the point of view on the edge and local characteristics of the image. Finally, the characteristics and trade-off of the proposed method are discussed.

  • The use of lightweight aggregate (LWA) instead of ordinary aggregate may make lightweight aggregate concrete, which possesses many advantages such as lightweight, lower thermal conductivity, and better fire and seismic resistance. Recently the developments of LWA have been focused on using industrial wastes as raw materials to reduce the use of limited natural resources. In view of this, the intent of this study was to apply Taguchi optimization technique in determining process condition for producing synthetic LWA by incorporating waste thin film transition liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCD) glass powder with reservoir sediments. In the study the waste TFT-LCD glass cullet was used as an additive. It was incorporated with reservoir sediments to produce LWA. Taguchi method with an orthogonal array L16(45) and five controllable 4-level factors (i.e., cullet content, preheat temperature, preheat time, sintering temperature, and sintering time) was adopted. Then, in order to optimize the selected parameters, the analysis of variance method was used to explore the effects of the experimental factors on the performances (particle density, water absorption, bloating ratio, and loss of ignition) of the produced LWA. The results showed that it is possible to produce high performance LWA by incorporating waste TFT-LCD glass cullet with reservoir sediments. Moreover, Taguchi method is a promising approach for optimizing process condition of synthetic LWA using recycled glass cullet and reservoir sediments and it significantly reduces the number of tests.

  • a-Si(amorphous silicon) TFT(thin film transistor)는 TFT-LCD(liquid crystal display)의 화소 스위칭(switching) 소자로 폭넓게 이용되고 있다. 현재는 a-Si을 이용하여 gate drive IC를 기판에 집적하는 ASG(amorphous silicon gate) 기술이 연구, 적용되고 있는데 이때 가장 큰 제약은 문턱 전압(Vth)의 이동이다. 특히 고온에서는 문턱 전압의(Vth) 이동이 가속화 되고, Ioff current가 증가 하게 되고, 저온($0^{\circ}C$)에서는 전류 구동능력이 상온($25^{\circ}C$) 상태에서 같은 게이트 전압(Vg)에 대해서 50% 수준으로 감소하게 된다. 특히 ASG 회로는 여러 개의 TFT로 구성되는데, 각각의 TFT가 고온에서 Vth shift 값이 다르게 되어 설계시 예상하지 못 한 고온에서의 화면 무너짐 현상 즉 고온 노이즈 불량이 발생 할 수 있다. 고온 노이즈 불량은 고온에서의 각 TFT의 문턱전압 및 $I_D-V_G$ 특성을 측정한 결과 고온 노이즈 불량에 영향을 주는 인자가 TFT의 width와 기생 capacitor비 hold TFT width가 영향을 주는 것으로 실험 및 시뮬레이션 결과 확인이 되었다. 발생 mechanism은 ASG 회로는 AC 구동을 하기 때문에 Voff 전위에 ripple이 발생 되는데 특히 고온에서 ripple이 크게 증가 하여 출력 signal에 영향을 주어 불량이 발생하는 것을 규명하였다.

  • The response surface modeling of the pretilt angle control using ion-beam (IB) alignment on nitrogen doped diamond-like carbon (NDLC) thin film layer is investigated. The response surface model is used to analyze the variation of the pretilt angle under various process conditions IB exposure angle and IB exposure time are considered as Input factors. The analysis of variance technique is used to analyze the statistical significance, and effect plots are also investigated to examine the relationships betweenthe process parameters and the response. The model can allow us to reliably predict the pretilt angle with respect to the varying process conditions.

  • 2.22-inch qVGA $(240{\times}320)$ amorphous silicon thin film transistor liquid active matrix crystal display (${\alpha}$- Si TFT-AMLCD) panel has been successfully demonstrated employing a 2.5 um fine-patterning technology by a wet etch process. Higher resolution 2.22-inch qVGA LCD panel with an aperture ratio of 58% can be fabricated because the 2.5 um fine pattern formation technique is combined with high thermal photo-resist (PR) development. In addition, a novel concept of unique ${\alpha}$-Si TFT process architecture, which is advantageous in terms of reliability, was proposed in the fabrication of 2.22-inch qVGA LCD panel. Overall results show that the 2.5 um finepatterning is a considerably significant technology to obtain higher aperture ratio for higher resolution ${\alpha}$-Si TFT-LCD panel realization.

  • The present study verifies compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, electrical resistance,permeable ratio, and shrinkage from waste glass controlled low strength materials (WGCLSM) and early-high-strength WGCSLM specimens, by replacing the sand with waste glass percentages of 0%, 10%,20%, and 30%. This study reveals that increasing amounts of waste LCD glass incorporated into concrete increases WGCLSM fluidity and reduces the setting time, resulting in good working properties. By increasing the glass to sand replacement ratio, the compressive strength decreases to achieve low-strength effects. Furthermore, the electrical resistance also rises as a result of increasing the glass to sand replacement ratio. Early-high-strength WGCSLM aged 28 days has twice the electrical resistance compared to general WGCSLM. Early-high-strength WGCSLM aged 7 days has a higher ultrasonic pulse velocity similar to WGCSLM aged 28 days. The variation of length with age of different compositions is all within the tolerance range of 0.025%. This study demonstrates that the proper composition ratio of waste LCD glass to sand in early-high-strength WGCSLM can be determined by using different amounts of glass-sand. A mechanism for LCD optical waste glass usage can be established to achieve industrial waste minimization, resource recycling, and economic security.
