액정 디스플레이 (LCD: Liquid Crystal Display)의 광원은 주로 냉음극 방전램프 (CCFL: Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp)가 사용되고 있으며, 19인치급 이하의 LCD 백라이트 인버터의 램프 구동방식은 가장 일반적인 램프 구동방식인 H-L(High-Low) 방식을 채택하여 사용하고 있다. 그러나 21인치 이상의 중 ${\cdot}$ 대형 LCD 백라이트 인버터는 소형 LCD 에 비해 보다 높은 구동 전압 ${\cdot}$ 전류가 필요함에 따라 기존의 H-L(High-Low) 방식이 아닌 H-H(High-High) 방식 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대형 LCD 백라이트 인버터에 주로 사용되고 있는 H-H(High-High) 방식을 압전 인버터(Piezoelectric Inverter)에 적용하여 H-L(High-Low) 램프구동 방식과 비교 하였으며, H-H(High-High) 램프구동방식을 통한 멀티램프 구동과 효율, 휘도가 우수함을 검증하였다.

LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)는 표시장치로 실용화된 후 많은 상품에 적용되고 있다 그러나 LCD는 자체 발광 능력이 없으므로 그 후면에서 LCD 화면을 밝혀주는 BLU(Backlight Unit)를 필요로 한다. BLU는 내부 광원으로 밝기가 균일한 평면광을 만들어 LCD 화면을 균일하게 면조사하는 역할을 한다. LCD의 표시 품질을 향상시키기 위해, 균일한 평면광을 만들어내는 BLU를 제작하기 위한 다양한 방법이 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 BLU를 제작하는 툴(Tool)과 제작린 BLU가 생성하는 평면광의 휘도 분포를 예측하는 시뮬레이터를 제안함으로써 BLU 개발에 소요되는 시간 및 비용을 단축할 수 있도록 한다.

We synthesized photoalignment material of high thermal resistance with hydroxyl aromatic polyimide, and studied the liquid crystal (LC) aligning capabilities on the photopolymer layers. Also, electro-optical (EO) performances for the twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) photoaligned with linearly polarized UV exposure were investigated. A good LC alignment with UV exposure on the photopolymer surface can be obtained. However, the low pretilt angles were obtained below 1$^{\circ}$. The Voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve without backflow bounce in the photoaligned TN cell with UV exposure was observed. The response time of photoaligned TN cell was measured about 24 ms. Finally, The photoaligned TN cell has few hysteresis, and shows the residual DC voltage that is less.

The residual DC properties in the in-plane switching (IPS) liquid crystal displays(LCDs) which have different concentrations of cynao NLCs and different resistivities of fluorine NLCs were studied. We also propose a new residual DC measurement method, named 'light minimum/maximum method'. We confirmed the precision of residual DC measurement by light minimum/maximum method compared with the flicker minimizing method and found that new measurement method of residual DC is more accurate than that of the conventional flicker minimizing method since the resolution level of measurements is in 0.1V.

Also, electro-optical (EO) performances for the twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) photoaligned with linearly polarized UV exposure were investigated. A good LC alignment with UV exposure on the photopolymer surface can be obtained. However, the low pretilt angles were obtained below $1^{\circ}$. The Voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve without backflow bounce in the photoaligned TN cell with UV exposure was observed. The response time of photoaligned TN cell was measured about 24 ms.

Field emission-back light unit (FE-BLU) was fabricated using carbon nanotube (CNT) emitter. Local dimming and local brightening techniques were achieved, which results in very high contrast ratio. In addition, the motion blur phenomenon, one of the serious problems of liquid crystal display (LCD) with cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL)-BLU, was removed from LCD-TV by using FE-BLU.

The recent Bistable Nematic ($BiNem^{(R)}$) LCD technology presents long term bistability, high level passive matrix multiplexing, gray levels capabilities and high optical quality. The $BiNem^{(R)}$ device, based on anchoring breaking, needs specific low anchoring strength materials - alignment layers and liquid crystal mixtures. We present here our approach to develop nematic mixtures with wide enough temperature range and low zenithal anchoring energy.

We propose a new optical configuration of a hybrid-aligned nematic liquid crystal cell for reflective displays, which consist of a biaxial film for obtaining wide viewing angle and a half-wave film for achieving high contrast. As a result, we can achieve wide viewing angle of (80( for the horizontal direction and (50( for the vertical direction and uniform reflection spectrum.

In this study, colorimetric characteristics of a 2.2-inch iriver MP4 based upon OLED was evaluated and compared with another MP4 based upon Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). According to IEC61966-4, the two displays were tested in terms of spectral power distribution, tone reproduction curve (TRC), luminance, contrast, correlated color temperature, 2D color gamut and spatial uniformity. Consequently, the OLED showed better performance for the first four aspects but a similar quality was observed for the rest.

The fringe-field switching (FFS) mode associated with a transition from a homogenously aligned to twist deformation require rubbing process. In this devices, $1^o$ of misalignment in an azimuthal direction could cause voltage-dependent transmittance (V-T) to be different from that in a normal area and consequently results in a rubbing mura. According to our studies, the single domain FFS cells are much more sensitive to the rubbing mura than the dual domain FFS cell. Moreover, the FFS cells with negative LC are much more sensitive to the rubbing mura than the FFS cells with positive LC.
