최근 LCD제품은 고유한 특장인 경박단소가 요구되면서, 기존의 Back Light Unit(BLU) 로는 대응할 수 없는 사양으로 진화되고 있다. 기존과 동일한 설계개념으로 접근시에 시장에서 요구되는 중량, 두께, 휘도의 사양을 만족시킬 수 없으며, BLU의 주요광원인 CCFL(Cold Cathod Fluorescent Lamp)의 휘도 개선 또 한 한계에 다다르고 있다. 따라서 앞으로의 BLU 의 고성능화는 최적화, 고효율화로의 개발 전개가 예상되며, LCD의 고해상도에 따른 투과율 저하를 보상하기 위한 고품질 BLU의 개발이 시급한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 BLU의 고효율화, 고품질화를 달성하기 위한 고성능 도광판 개발과 관련하여, 실물 제작에 앞서 광학시뮬레이션을 통한 이론적 접근을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 상측에서 정각 $90^{\circ}$ 에 높이 $50{\mu}m$ 하측에서 정각 $80^{\circ}$ 높이 $28{\mu}m$일때 평균조도가 71.52W/m^2 구현됨을 알 수 있다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 통상의 인쇄 방식 도광판에 비해서 약 20% 정도의 휘도향상이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 차후 본 결과를 바탕으로 한 실물 제작을 통해 설계 시뮬레이션 결과와의 비교를 통해서 정확한 예측이 가능한 시스템을 구현함을 목적으로 하였다.

Porous metals are called as a new material of 21th century because they show not only extremely low density, but also novel physical, thermal, mechanical, electrical, and acoustic properties. Since the late in the 1990's, considerable progress has been made in the production technologies of many kinds of porous metals such as aluminum, titanium, nickel, copper, stainless steel, etc. The commercial applications of porous metals have been increased in the field of light weight structures, sound absorption, mechanical damping, bio-materials, thermal management for heat exchanger and heat sink. Especially, the porous metals are promising in automotive applications for light-weighting body sheets and various structural components due to the good relation between weight and stiffness. This paper reviews the recent progress of production techniques using molten metal bubbling, metal foaming, gas expansion, hollow sphere structure, unidirectional solidification, etc, which have been commercialized or under developing, and finally introduces several case studies on the potential applications of porous metals in the area of heat sink, automotive pannel, cathod for Ni-MH battery, golf putter and medical implant.

Zn and Al added LiNi0.85Co0.15O2 cathode materials were synthesized to improve electrochemical properties and thermal stability using a solid-state route. Crystal structure, particle size and surface shape of the synthesized cathode materials was measured using XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy). CV (cyclic voltammetry), first charge-discharge profiles, rate capability, and cycle life were measured using battery cycler (Maccor, series 4000). Strong binding energy of Al-O bond enhanced structure stability of cathode material. Electrochemical properties were improved by preventing cation mixing between Li+ and Ni2+. Large ion radius of Zn+ increased lattice parameter of NC cathode material, which meant unit-cell volume was expanded. NCZA25 showed 80% of capacity retention at 0.5 C-rate during 100 cycles, which was 12% higher than that of NC cathode. The discharge capacity of NCZA25 showed 104 mAh/g at 5 C-rate. NCZA25 achieved 36 mAh/g more capacity than that of NC cathod. NCZA25 cathode material showed excellent rate capability and cycling performance.

Although the development of high-Nickel is being actively carried out to solve the capacity limitation and the high price of raw cobalt due to the limitation of high voltage use of the existing LiCoO₂, the deterioration of the battery characteristics due to the decrease in structural stability and increase of the Ni content. It is an important cause of delaying commercialization. Therefore, in order to increase the high stability of the Ni-rich ternary cathod material LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2O₂, precursor Ni_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2-x(OH)₂/xTiO₂ was prepared using a nanosized TiO₂ suspension type source for uniform Ti substitution in the precursor. It was mixed with Li₂CO₃, and after heating, the cathode active material LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2-xTi_xO₂ was synthesized, and the physical properties according to the Ti content were compared. Through FE-SEM and EDS mapping analysis, it was confirmed that a positive electrode active material having a uniform particle size was prepared through Ti-substituted spherical precursor and Particle Size Analyzer and internal density and strength were increased, XRD structure analysis and ICP-MS quantitative analysis confirmed that the capacity was effectively maintained even when the Ti-substituted positive electrode active material was manufactured and charging and discharging were continued at high temperature and high voltage.
