Micro-light emitting diode (micro-LED) displays offer numerous advantages such as high brightness, fast response, and low power consumption. Hence, they are spotlighted as the next-generation display. However, defective LEDs may be created due to non-uniform contact loads or LED alignment errors. Therefore, a repair process involving the replacement of defective LEDs with favorable ones is necessitated. The general repair process involves the removal of defective micro-LEDs, interconnection material transfer, as well as new micro-LED transfer and bonding. However, micro-LEDs are difficult to repair since their size decreases to a few tens of micron in width and less than 10 ㎛ in thickness. The conventional nozzle-type dispenser for fluxes and the conventional vacuum chuck for LEDs are not applicable to the micro-LED repair process. In this study, transfer conditions are determined using a micro stamp for repairing micro-LEDs. Results show that the aging time should be set to within 60 min, based on measuring the aging time of the flux. Additionally, the micro-LEDs are subjected to a compression test, and the result shows that they should be transferred under 18.4 MPa. Finally, the I-V curves of micro-LEDs processed by the laser and hot plate reflows are measured to compare the electrical properties of the micro-LEDs based on the reflow methods. It was confirmed that the micro-LEDs processed by the laser reflow show similar electrical performance with that processed by the hot plate reflow. The results can provide guidance for the repair of micro-LEDs using micro stamps.

As an insulator for a thin film transistor(TFT) and an encapsulation material of organic light emitting diode(OLED), aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) has been widely studied using several technologies. Especially, in spite of low deposition rate, atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been used as a process method of Al₂O₃ because of its low process temperature and self-limiting reaction. In the Al₂O₃ deposition by ALD method, Ar Purge had some crucial effects on the film properties. After reaction gas is injected as a formation of pulse, an inert argon(Ar) purge gas is injected for gas desorption. Therefore, the process parameter of Ar purge gas has an influence on the ALD deposited film quality. In this study, Al₂O₃ was deposited on glass substrate at a different Ar purge time and its structural characteristics were investigated and analyzed. From the results, the growth rate of Al₂O₃ was decreased as the Ar purge time increases. The surface roughness was also reduced with increasing Ar purge time. In order to obtain the high quality Al₂O₃ film, it was known that Ar purge times longer than 15 sec was necessary resulting in the self-limiting reaction.

Thin films of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) is a promising material for use in large-area electronic devices. Especially, the poly-Si can be used in high resolution and integrated active-matrix liquid-crystal displays (AMLCDs) and active matrix organic light-emitting diodes (AMOLEDs) because of its high mobility compared to hydrogenated _amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). A number of techniques have been proposed during the past several years to achieve poly-Si on large-area glass substrate. However, the conventional method for fabrication of poly-Si could not apply for glass instead of wafer or quartz substrate. Because the conventional method, low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) has a high deposition temperature ($600^{\circ}C-1000^{\circ}C$) and solid phase crystallization (SPC) has a high annealing temperature ($600^{\circ}C-700^{\circ}C$). And also these are required time-consuming processes, which are too long to prevent the thermal damage of corning glass such as bending and fracture. The deposition of silicon thin films on low-cost foreign substrates has recently become a major objective in the search for processes having energy consumption and reaching a better cost evaluation. Hence, combining inexpensive deposition techniques with the growth of crystalline silicon seems to be a straightforward way of ensuring reduced production costs of large-area electronic devices. We have deposited crystalline poly-Si thin films on soda -lime glass and SiOz glass substrate as deposited by PVD at low substrate temperature using high power, magnetron sputtering method. The epitaxial orientation, microstructual characteristics and surface properties of the films were analyzed by TEM, XRD, and AFM. For the electrical characterization of these films, its properties were obtained from the Hall effect measurement by the Van der Pauw measurement.

이 연구는 발광다이오드(LED)를 이용한 미디어 파사드의 시공 전 상황을 미리 재현하고 의사결정의 중요한 방법으로 사용되는 시뮬레이션 영상 제작 과정과 기술, 그리고 다양한 표현방법들의 장단점을 분석한 것이다. 슈퍼그래픽으로부터 출발된 건물 외관 치장은 야간활동이 많아진 요즘의 시대적 분위기를 타고 LED시공으로까지 이어졌다. 초기의 슈퍼그래픽은 단순히 캐드 도면을 보고 의사결정을 할 정도였지만 오늘날 미디어 파사드 시공은 그렇게 간단히 의사결정 할 수 있는 문제가 아니다. 이는 엄청난 시공비도 한 몫 하지만 건물의 아이덴티티와 주변 상황과의 어울림을 함께 고민해야하는 문제이기 때문에 더욱 그렇다. 연구 결과인 미디어 파사드 시공 시뮬레이션의 다양한 표현 방법과 과정 분석, 그리고 장단점 파악은 시공규모와 시뮬레이션 목적에 따라 선택을 달리 할 수 있는 기준을 제시하고, 클라이언트의 다양한 요구에 빠르게 대응할 수 있는 방안을 제시할 것이다.

Inorganic-organic composites find extensive application in various fields, including electronic devices and light-emitting diodes. Notably, encapsulation technologies are employed to shield electronic devices (such as printed circuit boards and batteries) from stress and moisture exposure while maintaining electrical insulation. Polymer composites can be used as encapsulation materials because of their controllable mechanical and electrical properties. In this study, we propose a polymer composite that provides good electrical insulation and enhanced mechanical properties. This is achieved by using aluminum borate nanowhiskers (ABOw), which are fabricated using a facile synthesis method. The ABOw fillers are created via a hydrothermal method using aluminum chloride and boric acid. We confirm that the synthesis occurs in various morphologies based on the molar ratio. Specifically, nanowhiskers are synthesized at a molar ratio of 1:3 and used as fillers in the composite. The fabricated ABOw/epoxy composites exhibit a 48.5% enhancement in mechanical properties, similar to those of pure epoxy, while maintaining good electrical insulation.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the proper wavelengths for safe levels of light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation with bactericidal and photobiomodulation effects in vitro. Methods: Cell viability tests of fibroblasts and osteoblasts after LED irradiation at 470, 525, 590, 630, and 850 nm were performed using the thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide assay. The bactericidal effect of 470-nm LED irradiation was analyzed with Streptococcus gordonii, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Tannerella forsythia. Levels of nitric oxide, a proinflammatory mediator, were measured to identify the anti-inflammatory effect of LED irradiation on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inflammation in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Results: LED irradiation at wavelengths of 470, 525, 590, 630, and 850 nm showed no cytotoxic effect on fibroblasts and osteoblasts. LED irradiation at 630 and 850 nm led to fibroblast proliferation compared to no LED irradiation. LED irradiation at 470 nm resulted in bactericidal effects on S. gordonii, A. actinomycetemcomitans, F. nucleatum, P. gingivalis, and T. forsythia. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 inflammation was reduced by irradiation with 525-nm LED before LPS treatment and irradiation with 630-nm LED after LPS treatment; however, the effects were limited. Conclusions: LED irradiation at 470 nm showed bactericidal effects, while LED irradiation at 525 and 630 nm showed preventive and treatment effects on LPS-induced RAW 264.7 inflammation. The application of LED irradiation has potential as an adjuvant in periodontal therapy, although further investigations should be performed in vivo.

We present the results of multi-epoch, multi-frequency monitoring of a blazar 4C +29.45, which was regularly monitored as part of the Interferometric Monitoring of GAmma-ray Bright AGNs program - a key science program of the Korean Very long baseline interferometry Network (KVN). Observations were conducted simultaneously at 22, 43, 86 and 129 GHz during the 4 years from December 2012 to December 2016. We also used additional data from the 15 GHz Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) monitoring program. From the 15 GHz light curve, we estimated the variability time scales of the source during several radio flux enhancements. We found that the source experiencesd 6 radio flux enhancements with variability time scales of 9-187 days during the observing period, yielding corresponding variability Doppler factors of 9-27. From the multi-frequency simultaneous KVN observations, we were able to obtain accurate radio spectra of the source and hence to more precisely measure the turnover frequencies 𝜈_r of synchrotron self-absorbed (SSA) emission with a mean value of ${\bar{\nu}_r}=28.9GHz$. Using jet geometry assumptions, we estimated the size of the emitting region at the turnover frequency. Taking into account these results, we found that the equipartition magnetic field strength is up to two orders of magnitudes higher than the SSA magnetic field strength (0.6-99 mG). This is consistent with the source being particle dominated.

본 연구에서는 Chlorin e6 (Ce6)를 입힌 자궁경부암세포를 사멸시키기 위해 레이저 또는 LED를 인가한 PDT (photodynamic therapy)을 실시하고, Ce6 농도와 투여 시간별 사멸도의 변화를 실험하였다. 이를 위해 자궁경부암세포에 광자극을 인가한 후 영상의 처리 및 CCK-8을 이용한 정량적인 평가를 진행하였다. 실험 결과, Ce6은 일정 농도가 높아질수록 많은 양의 세포가 사멸되었고, Ce6를 이용한 PDT 실험군에서 사멸도가 높은 것을 확인하였다. LED와 레이저를 비교하였을 때 레이저는 국소적 위치만 세포의 사멸이 가능하고 LED는 비교적 넓은 범위의 사멸에 효과적인 결과를 확인하였다. 또한 레이저와 같이 국소적 위치를 조사하는 경우 세포 생존도 측정 시 해당 위치의 이미지를 획득한 후 영상처리를 통한 정량분석을 시행하는 방법이 효과적임을 확인하였다.
