A carbon nanotube field emission display(CNT FED) panel with a 2 inch diagonal size was fabricated by using a screen printing of a prepared photo-sensitive CNT paste and vacuum in-line sealing technology. After a surface treatment of the patterned CNT, only the carbon nanotube tips are uniformly exposed on the surface. The diameter of the exposed CNTs are usually about 20nm. The sealing temperature of the panel was around 390 $^{\circ}C$ and the vacuum level was obtained with $1.4{\times}10^{-5}$torr at the sealing. The field emission properties of the diode type CNT FED panel were characterized Now, we are developing a triode type CNT FED with a self-aligned gate-emitter structure.

We report on the fabrication of organic-based flexible displays using an amorphous IZO anode grown at room temperature. The IZO anode films were grown by a conventional DC reactive sputtering on the polycarbonate (PC) substrate at room temperature using a synthesized IZO target in a $Ar/O_2$ ambient. Both x-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution electron microscope (HREM) examination results show that the IZO anode film grown at room temperature Is complete amorphous structure due to low substrate temperature. A sheet resistance of $35.6\Omega/\Box$, average transmittance above 90 % in visible range, and root mean spare roughness of $6\sim10.5\AA$ were obtained even in the IZO anode film grown on PC substrate at room temperature. It is shown that the $Ir(ppy)_3$ doped flexible organic light emitting diode (OLED) fabricated on the IZO anode exhibit comparable current-voltage-luminance characteristics as well as external quantum efficiency and power efficiency to OLED fabricated on conventional ITO/Glass substrate. These findings indicate that the IZO anode film grown on PC substrate is a promising anode materials for the fabrication of organic based flexible displays.

This paper describes operation mechanism of a novel optical waveguide phase modulator with optical bistability characteristics by self electro-optic effect. The fabricated device structure is an optical waveguide modulator, using a refractive index change by an applied electric field, parallel integrated with SEED with an electrical bistability. GaAs/AlGaAs MQW is used as the core layer of the waveguide modulator and the absorption layer of SEED. The absorbed optical power in SEED changes the diode voltage and controls the optical power propagating through the waveguide phase modulator. Optical bistability of waveguide phase modulator is experimentally obtained by using electrical bistability of SEED. Compared to other waveguide modulators, the proposed one has an asset that the lowest optical power is required to generate optical bistability.

This paper presents a new configuration for a three-phase multilevel voltage source inverter. The main bridge is built from a classical three-phase two-level inverter and three bidirectional switches. A variable DC-link employing two unequal DC voltage supplies and four switches is connected to the main circuit in such a way that the proposed inverter produces four levels in the output voltage waveform. In order to obtain the desired switching gate signals, the fundamental frequency staircase modulation technique is successfully implemented. Furthermore, the proposed structure is extended and compared with other types of multilevel inverter topologies. The comparison shows that the proposed inverter requires a smaller number of power components. For a given number of voltage steps N, the proposed inverter requires N/2 DC voltage supplies and N+12 switches connected with N+7 gate driver circuits, while diode clamped or flying capacitor inverters require N-1 DC voltage supplies and 6(N-1) switches connected with 6(N-1) gate driver circuits. A prototype of the introduced configuration has been manufactured and the obtained simulation and experimental results ensure the feasibility of the proposed topology and the validity of the implemented modulation technique.

Laser direct patterning of indium tin oxide(ITO) is one of new methods of direct etching process to replace the conventional photolithography. A diode pumped Q-switched Nd:$YVO_4$ (${\lambda}$= 1,064 nm) laser was used to produce ITO electrode on various transparent oxide semiconductor films such as zinc oxide(ZnO). The laser direct etched ITO patterns on ZnO were compared with those on glass substrate and were considered in terms of the overlapping rate of laser beam. In case of the laser etching on double-layer, it was possible to obtain the higher overlapping rate of laser beam.

Recently, an optical disc system has been proposed using blue laser diode, high NA objective lens and groove only disc structure. A new method is needed to readout CD and DVD in this blue system. In order to readout CD and DVD in HD-DVD system, we adopted dual-lenses actuator in consideration of optical utilization efficiency, optical performance and insurance of sufficient W.D (working distance). This dual-lenses actuator has two objectives in radial direction, one is for CD/DVD and the other is for HD-DVD. We had to solve the induced problems of DC tilt increase, $2^{nd}$ resonance deterioration and AC sensitivity drop caused by disposing two lenses in an actuator. Especially, to solve AC sensitivity drop, we introduced two 2-pole magnets and separated focus and track magnetic circuits. Consequently we presented that dual-lenses actuator has been possessed good performance. And we measured eye patterns of CD, DVD and HD-DVD by using HD-DVD optical pick-up with dual-lenses actuator.

특정한 유기 물질에 전류를 인가했을 때 발광을 하는 특성을 이용한 Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED)는 뛰어난 색재현성, 적은 전력소모, 간단한 제조공정, 넓은 시야각 등으로 인해 PDP, LCD, LED에 이은 차세대 디스플레이 소자로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 하지만 OLED는 각기 다른 굴절률을 가지는 다층구조로 되어있어 실질적으로 소자 밖으로 나오는 빛은 원래 생성된 빛의 20% 정도 밖에 되지 않는다. 이러한 광 손실을 줄이기 위해 Photonic Crystal (PC)이나 마이크로 렌즈 어레이(MLA) 부착 등과 같이 특정한 크기를 갖는 주기적인 나노 구조물을 이용한 광추출 효율 상승 방법은 특정 파장의 빛에서만 효과가 있는 한계가 있었으며 고가의 공정과정을 거쳐야 했으므로 OLED 소자의 가격 향상에 일조하였다. 이의 해결을 위해 본 연구는 유리기판 위에 랜덤한 분포를 가지는 나노 구조물 제작 공정법을 제안한다. 먼저 유리기판 위에 스퍼터로 금속 박막을 입혀 이를 Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) 공정을 이용하여 랜덤한 분포의 Island를 가지는 마스크를 제작하였다. 그 후 플라즈마 식각을 이용하여 유리기판에 나노 구조물을 형성하였고 기판 위에 남아있는 마스크는 Ultrasonic cleaning을 이용하여 제거하였다. 제작된나노구조물은 200~300 nm의 높이와 약 200 nm 폭을 가지고 있다. 제작된 유리기판의 OLED 소자로의 적용가능성을 알아보기 위한 광학특성 조사결과는 300~900 nm의 파장영역에서 맨유리와 거의 비슷한 수직 투과율을 보이면서 최대 50%정도의 Diffusion 비율을 나타내고 있고 임계각(41도) 이상의각도에서 인가된 빛의 투과율에 대해서도 향상된 결과를 보여주고 있다. 제안된 공정의 전체과정 기존의 PC, MLA 등의 공정에 비해 난이도가 쉽고 저가로 진행이 가능하며 추후 OLED 소자에 적용될 시 대량생산에 적합한 후보로 보고 있다.

This research is to develop satiable battery charger with a variety of capacity and voltage specifications of battery. For this, voltage or current were controlled through buck converter which is DC voltage that already received three-phase at primary side and passed bridge rectifier diode. And, it was comprised of full-bridge converter and HFTR for insulation and a square wave AC. The transformer primary side was comprised in series to divide certain charging current and the secondly side was comprised of 6 fixed transformers so that they can generate certain amount of power and various output voltage through relay parallel compound 6 DC Link outputs. To confirm such structure's verification and validity, simulation with PSIM was conducted, and validity of proposed variable charger system was verified through 3kW stack production.

This paper proposes an active-clamp ac-dc converter with direct power conversion that has a simple structure and achieves high efficiency. The proposed converter is derived by integrating the step-down ac chopper and the output-voltage doubler. The proposed converter provides direct ac-dc conversion and dc output voltage without using any full-bridge diode rectifier. The step-down ac chopper using an active-clamp mechanism serves to clamp the voltage spike across the main switches and provides zero-voltage turn-on switching. The resonant-current path formed by the leakage inductance of the transformer and the resonant capacitor of the output-voltage doubler achieves the zero-current turn-off switching of the output diodes. The operation principle of the converter is analyzed and verified. A 500W prototype is implemented to show the performance of the proposed converter. The prototype provides maximum efficiency of 95.1% at the full load.
