LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)는 자체 발광능력이 없으므로 그 후면에서 LCD 화면을 밝혀주는 BLU(Backlight Unit)를 필요로 한다. BLU의 핵심부품으로써 광원으로부터 나온 빛을 LCD의 패널 방향으로 이끌어내는 역할을 담당하고 있는 부분이 바로 도광판이고, 빛을 패널 방향으로 고르게 분포시키기 위해 도광판 하부에 점 모양의 확산물질을 인쇄한다. 이 인쇄패턴은 광원으로부터의 거리에 따라서 그 크기를 다르게 함으로써 패널 부분으로 균일한 평면광을 생성하도록 한다. 따라서 보다 균일한 평면광을 생성하는 BLU를 개발하기 위해서는 주어진 조건에서 패널 부분으로 균일한 평면광을 생성하도록 설계된 인쇄패턴을 찾는 것이 관건이다. 이러한 인쇄패턴을 Simplex Search 알고리즘을 사용하여 자동으로 찾게 함으로써 수작업으로 찾는 것보다 빠른 시간 내에 더욱 효율적인 인쇄패턴을 찾도록 한다.

Dot pattern print methods composed of a diffusion film and two prism sheets, have been generally used for backlighting systems of LCDs. However, this methods require complex structures and show high power consumption and optical loss. To improve these disadvantages of conventional backlight units, light guides using highly scattering optical transmissions (HSOT) polymer as scatters, have been introduced. In this study we analyzed multiple scattering effect in light guide by means of Monte carlo simulation based on Mie scattering theory and ray tracing method. As a result it was revealed that scattering intensity depends on the size of scatters. On the other hands, it was shown that scattering efficiency depends on the wavelength of fluorescent lamp as well as the size of scatters.

본 연구는 TFT-LCD의 배경광원인 Backlight Unit(BLU)의 구조를 광학 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석함으로써 BLU에서의 광효율을 극대화하는데 초점을 두었다. 일반적으로 LCD Monitor BLU는 형광램프, 반사시트, 램프 리플렉터, 도광판, 광학시트로 구성된다 여기에서는 20.1 인치 6램프로 구성된 Monitor용 Side Type BLU에 대하여 램프 리플렉터의 형상, 램프 리플렉터의 내부 공간 변화와 그에 따른 램프의 위치, 램프사이의 배열에 따른 램프에서 도광판으로의 입사광량을 광학 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석하였다. 위 시뮬레이션의 결과, 램프리플렉터가 'ㄷ' 형상일 때, 램프리플렉터 내부공간의 약 1:2 되는 지점에 램프가 위치하고 Center Lamp가 도광판에 최대한 가깝게 위치할 때 입사광량이 최대가 되어 BLU에서의 광효율이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

The structure of an LCD backlight unit (BLU) was simplified by installing a micro reverse-pyramid array (MRPA) or a micro reverse-cone array (MRCA) on the top surface of the light guide panel (LGP) in order to eliminate the conventional diffuser sheet and the prism sheet. The optimum conditions of the MRPA and the MRCA in the new light guide panel were obtained through optical simulation. The change of the luminance and view angle that depend on the side angle, the height, and the length at the top of the MRPA and MRCA were studied. The optimized side angle and the view angle of the MRPA and MRCA were 59 and 57 degrees for the side angles and 68 and 64 degrees for the view angles, respectively.

The backlight unit (BLU) is used as a light source of TFT liquid-crystalline-display (TFT-LCD) module. In this backlight unit, one of important components is the light guide, which is usually made of transparent polymers. Currently, the screen-printing method is mainly used for the light guide as a manufacturing process. However, it has limitation to the flexibility of three-dimensional optical design. In the present paper a new alternative manufacturing method for the light guide with low-cost is proposed. This manufacturing method is named as direct surface forming (DSF), which is very similar to the well-known hot embossing except for partial contact between mold and substrate. The results of this new manufacturing method are presented in terms of processing condition, dimensional accuracy, productivity, etc.

A two-dimensional fluid simulation code has been developed in order to investigate discharge phenomena and to improve plasma luminous efficiency in a Hg flat fluorescent lamp (FFL) for an LCD backlight unit. In this study, the method of a two-dimensional fluid simulation for FFL is explained and the simulation results of Hg-Ar-Ne mixture gas are presented for the enhancement of the luminance efficiency. The effects of various parameters, such as driving voltage, frequency, and gas mixture ratio, are investigated. The luminance efficiency increased with increasing fraction of mercury but the increasing fraction of argon did not affect the efficiency much.

A kind of fluorescent lamps CCFL(Cold Cathod Fluorescent Lamp) is used for backlight of LCD and the demand of backlight for TV is getting more. CCFL is also used in a backlight for TFT-LCD panel. BLU(Backlight Unit) has lots of components so it looks a electrical product. As the size of LCD display is larger with increasing of the demand, to drive CCFL inverter is more important. Therefore, a sort of modeling to drive 4 lamps with a transformer is used and we have a simulation test with proposed modeling so we can take some data from the test. The utility of the proposed modeling is verified through using for 30-inch LCD backlight with the data.

In this study, it was investigated about optical simulation in direct-type backlight design. Direct-type backlight has been used high-brightness backlight such as medical LCD application. The key parameter in designing direct-type backlight was consists of three geometrical dimension such as the distance of two lamps, the gap of lamp and reflection plate and the number of lamps. It has many of variations in optical design and it causes the different properties in backlight system. It shows the best values of above parameters; 26 mm of the distance of two lamps, 4.5 mm of the gap of lamp and reflection plate and 16 lamps. And we produced the specimen as above condition, and acquired good result in backlight such as the value of the brightness is 6423 nit in center of emission area and less than 5 % in brightness uniformity. It shows the effective ways of designing backlight system using optical simulation method for medical LCD application.
