This paper analyzes the effects of various operating voltages on the luminous efficacy of high flux RGB LEDs. At first, their equivalent diode model are established from measurements of the V-I characteristics. Operating voltages of three types are applied to a simple LED circuit: DC, square-wave, and full-wave-rectified sine wave. As the result, DC voltage driving gives the hightest efficiency, but invokes much greater variation in the luminous flux and more shift in the peak wavelength.

액정표시장치(LCD; Liquid Crystal Display)는 표현된 정보를 가시화하기 위해 램프의 백라이트가 필수적인데 대부분 부피가 작고 효율과 휘도특성이 좋은 냉음극 방전램프가 사용된다. 램프는 고압으로 구동되며 높은 전압을 얻기 위해 일반적으로 권선 변압기를 사용한다 그러나 권선 변압기의 경우 자체의 철심이나 권선의 손실로 인하여 출력 효율의 한계가 있으며, 고압을 위해 감긴 코일은 부피를 크게 하며 무겁게 만든다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 변압기 자체 손실을 줄이고 소형화가 가능하며 높은 승압비을 가진 PAN-PZT계의 적층형 압전 변압기를 제작하였으며, 회로의 손실을 줄이기 위한 영전압 스위칭(ZVS; Zero Voltage Switching)과 그리고 LCD패널과 인버터의 불필요한 간섭현상(EMI; Electro-Magnetic Interference)을 줄일 수 있으며 소형화가 가능한 풀 브리지형 압전 인버터를 설계하였다.

This study proposes a gate driver that operates semiconductor switches in the bipolar pulsed power modulator. The proposed gate driver was designed to receive isolated power and synchronized signals through the gate transformer. The gate circuit has a separate delay in the on-and-off operation to prevent a short circuit between the top and bottom switches of each leg. On the basis of the proposed gate circuit, a bipolar pulsed power modulator prototype with a 2.5 kV/100 A rating was developed. Finally, the bipolar pulsed power modulator was tested under resistive load and plasma reactor load conditions. It is verified that the proposed gate driver can be applied to a bipolar pulsed power modulator.

The fringe electric field driven transflective liquid crystal display with dual orientation has a problem that the voltage-dependent transmittance and reflectance curves do not match each other, requiring a dual driving circuit to achieve a high electro-optic performance. Optimizations of the electrode structure in the array substrate and rubbing direction solve this problem so that the transflective display with a single gap and a single gamma curve for reflective and transmissive region is possible.

영구자석형 조작기(PMA)의 단점을 보완한 고전압 차단기용 전자석 조작기인 EMFA는 긴 스트로크를 가지는 차단기에도 사용이 가능하며, 특히 진공 차단기(VCB)용 조작기를 비롯하여, 가스 차단기(GCB)에 적용한 모델도 이미 개발되었다. 다양한 모델에 대한 설계 및 연구가 추가적으로 진행되고 있으나, 아직 설계 방법이 정형화되어 있지 않아 모델에 따라 그 형상이 달라지는 경우가 많다. 이러한 점을 개선하기 위해, 본 논문에서 EMFA의 설계 변수를 변화시켜 가며 나타나는 특성을 홀딩력과 자속밀도를 통해 분석하였다. 나아가 이를 바탕으로 설계 방법의 정형화에 대한 실마리를 제공하고자 한다. 해석에는 2차원 유한요소법을 이용하였고, 설계 변수는 조작기의 초기상태를 기준으로 설정하였다.

본 논문은 AC PDP의 유지방전 구간에서 전하 제어를 통하여 저전압 구동과 고발광효율을 구현하기위한 새로운 구동 방식을 소개하고, 이 구동방식에 대한 실험결과 및 특성을 소개한다. 이 방식은 패널에 전원을 직접 인가하는 대신 외부 저장 커패시터에 연결하며 여기에 충전된 전압을 LC 공진을 통하여 중간 저장 커패시터를 충전하고 이 중간커패시터에 충전된 제한된 전하로 패널을 간접적으로 구동하는 방식으로, 기존의 방법보다 패널을 방전시키기 위한 전원의 공급 전압을 절반으로 낮출 수 있으며, 패널에 방전 시 공급되는 전력을 제한함으로서 발광효율을 개선할 수 있다. 전하 제어 구동 방식을 4인치 패널에 적용하여 실험한 결과 107V의 낮은 전압의 전원으로 안정된 방전을 유지할 수 있었으며, 1.28 lm/W의 높은 발광효율을 얻을 수 있었다.

We have designed a single gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) driven by a fringe electric field, in which the +LC (${\Delta}{\varepsilon}$=7.4, rubbing angle= $80^{\circ}$) is homogeneously aligned in the initial state. This device is a problem that the voltage-dependent transmittance and reflectance curves do not match each other. Thus a dual driving circuit is required. This study shows that optimization of the rubbing angle in the transmissive and reflective regions solves this problem so that the transflective display with a single cell gap and single gamma curve for reflective and transmissive region is possible.

We have studied the narrow viewing angle liquie crystal displays (LCDs) using a hybrid aligned nematic liquid crystal (LC) cell driven by a fringe field. The device using a LC with positive dielectric anisotropy has a relatively low transmittance. This paper describes how to improve light efficiency by optimizing electrode structure. The results show that the device exhibits a high transmittance of 90%, low driving voltage and narrow viewing angle less than $20^{\circ}$ along horizontal direction which is highly effective for private display application.

In this study, multilayer structured ultrasonic linear motor was designed and simulated using ANSYS of finite element method simulator for investigating the optimum conditions of it. The ultrasonic linear motor studied in this paper designed using the 1st longitudinal($L_1$) and 4th bending vibration($B_4$). The driving voltage of the motor was very low as $V_1=5\sqrt{2}sinwt$ and $V_2=5\sqrt{2}coswt$. With the increase of the number of piezoelectric ceramic layers, displacement of node was increased. Maximum z displacement of node was about $12{\mu}m$ at the 18 layered ultrasonic motor.

In this paper, the switching characteristics of the active clamp type flyback converter, which is deemed suitable for the miniaturization of the external power supply for home appliance, were analyzed and the process of reducing the switching loss was explained. The active clamp type flyback converter operating in the DCM has confirmed that the surge voltage of the main switch does not occur and the turn-off / on loss of the switch do not occur in principle. Also, in the case of the switch for synchronous rectifier, it was showed that the switch current showed half-wave rectified sinusoidal characteristic, and the switching loss was reduced. The switching characteristics of the experimental results gathered from 120 W class prototype were compared with the theoretical waveform in the steady-state and it was confirmed that the power conversion efficiency of the active clamp type flyback converter was maintained high due to the reduction of the switching loss.
