Prediction of customer failure rates plays an important role for establishing appropriate management policies and improving the profitability for industries. For these reasons, many LCD (Liquid crystal display) manufacturing industries have attempted to construct prediction models for customer failure rates. However, most traditional models are based on the parametric approaches requiring the assumption that the data follow a certain probability distribution. To address the limitation posed by the distributional assumption underpinning traditional models, we propose using parameter-free data mining models for predicting customer failure rates. In addition, we use various information associated with product attributes and field return for more comprehensive analysis. The effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method were demonstrated with a real dataset from one of the leading LCD companies in South Korea.

This paper presents a digital LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) backlight inverter control using an 8-bit microcontroller. The backlight uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps(CCFLs) that have the negative resistance characteristics, so it requires the ballast function. For this, the proposed LCD backlight inverter uses an 8-bit microcontroller, ATmega128. Therefore, the controller circuit is simplified and cost-minimized. It shows through the experimental results that the proposed inverter has good performance for the LCD backlight inverter.

In recent days, large-sized flat-panel display (FPD) has been increasingly applied to computer monitors and TVs. Mura defects, appearing as low contrast or non-uniform brightness region, sometimes occur in manufacturing of the Thin-Film Transistor Liquid-Crystal Displays (TFT-LCD). Implementation of automatic Mura inspection methods is necessary for TFT-LCD production. Various existing Mura detection methods based on regression diagnostics, surface fitting and data transformation have been presented with good performance. This paper proposes an efficient Mura detection method that is based on a regression diagnostics using studentized residuals for automatic Mura inspection of FPD. The input image is estimated by a linear model and then the studentized residuals are calculated for filtering Mura regions. After image dilation, the proposed threshold is determined for detecting the non-uniform brightness region in TFT-LCD by means of monitoring the every pixel in the image. The experimental results obtained from several test images are used to illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method for Mura detection.

This paper proposes high performance control of light emitting diode(LED) drive system for liquid crystal display(LCD) backlight. The CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent lamp)was used to a conventional LCD backlight. Due to improvement on luminous efficiency, long life and wide color gamut, LED has gradually substituted for CCFL as backlight. The backlight using LED is necessary to use many LED. For that reason, the LED backlight is using a lot of LED driving circuits. The many LED driving circuit is generated a current deviation between LED. Eventually, it is caused brightness deviation between LED. Therefore, this paper improves the current deviation using transformer and balancing capacitor to solve this problem. Also, for accurate and uniform brightness control, this paper is applied the artificial intelligent control to a dimming control. This paper is compared with conventional system, and validity of this paper proves through that result.

The mechanism of response time and viewing angle in in-plane switching ( IPS ) liquid crystal display ( LCD ) were investigated. The response time of photo-aligned IPS-LCD is fast compared with rubbing-aligned IPS-LCD on polyimide ( PI ) surface. The decay time $\tau$$\_$d/ is decreased with increasing the azimuthal anchoring energy A $\psi$ due to the steric interaction between the LC molecules and side chain of polymer. The viewing angle of IPS-LCD is increased by using photo-depolymerizatin method ; about ${\pm}$70$^{\circ}$at all direction.

We investigated the residual DC in the in-plane switching (IPS)-liquid crystal display(LCD) by voltage-transmittance (V-T) hysteresis method. Several IPS-LCD which have different concentrations of cynao LCs and different resistivities of fluorine LCs were fabricated. We found that the residual DC voltage of the IPS-LCD was decreasing with increasing concentration of cyano LCs and increasing with decreasing specific resistivity of fluorine LC materials. The residual DC voltage property can be improved by low molecular weight and high polarity of cyano LC.

In recent years, we use overdriving scheme to improve the response time of the liquid crystal. Since conventional overdriving scheme uses memory to perform ideal processing, it is desired to reduce system cost by decreasing the data stored in these SDRAMs. As a general compression method, quantization, sub-sampling and Block Truncation Coding ( BTC ) are used, which process data in block base and cause block effect. So we proposed new data compression method by color space conversion. Because this method compresses luminance and chrominance signal by different ratio, it can efficiently reduce error of block effect in decompression image.

Electro-optical (EO) performances of the ion beam (IB) aligned twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with ion beam exposure on the new diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin film surface were investigated. A good voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min was observed. Also, the fast response time of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min can be achieved. Finally, the residual DC voltage of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD on the DLC thin film surface is almost the same as that of the rubbing aligned TN-LCD on a polyimide (Pl) surface.

In recent years, the Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD) is used in a variety of products as an interfacing device between human and them. Since TFT-LCDs have trend toward larger Panel sizes and higher spatial and/or gray-scale resolution, pixel charging characteristic is very important for the large panel size and high resolution TFT-LCD pixel characteristics. In this paper, both data line precharging method and line time extension (LiTEX) method is applied to Pixel Design Array Simulation Tool (PDAST) and the pixel charging characteristics of TFT-LCD array were simulated, which were compared with the results calculated by both PDAST In which the conventional device model of a-Si TFTs and gate step method is implemented.

We designed and fabricated a single polarizer mode bistable twisted nematic liquid crystal display by employing a wide-band λ/4 retardation film to enhance the dark state property. We theoretically and experimentally confirmed the necessity of a wide- band λ/4 retardation film in a single polarizer mode. We obtained brighter image than previous reflective BTN LCDs.
