Micro-lens patterned micro-mold fabrication method for Light Guiding Plate(LGP), kernel part of LCD-BLU(Back Light Unit), was presented. Instead of erosion dot pattern for LGP optical design, micro-lens pattern, fabricated by LIGA-reflow process, was applied. Optical pattern design method was also developed not only for negative pattern LGP, but also positive pattern LGP. During injection molding process, experimental study was conducted to improve replication quality and brightness of ${\sim}50um$ micro-lens pattern mold. The effect of mold temperature for the replication quality of micro-lens array was studied.

현대 사회가 고도의 정보화 사회로 변화하는 가운데 능동행렬 액정 표시 소자(AMLCD : Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display)는 정보 디스플레이 분야에서 없어서는 안될 중요한 위치를 차지하게 됐다. AMOLED는 자체발광형이므로 LCD에 비해 시야각, contrast, 시인성이 우수하며, 화소를 낮은 전류 밀도로 구동시킨다는 장점이 있다. OLED 소자는 각 화소를 구동할 수 있는 박막 트랜지스타가 필요하며, OLED 소자와 결합된 TFT의 연구도 진행되고 있다. 더욱이 모바일 소자에서 낮은 구동 전압과 비용의 절감을 위해 System On Panels (SOP)에 대한 연구가 또한 진행되고 있다. LCD 패널위에 콘트롤러와 메모리와 같은 소자를 직접화시킴으로써 액정 표시 장치를 소형화시킬 수 있으며 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수가 있다. 본 연구에서는 SOP를 위한 ELA 방법을 통하여 결정화한 poly-Si TFT memory를 제작하여 전기적 특성을 조사하였다.

Parameters of a biaxial compensation film and a liquid crystal cell for the optically compensated bend mode LCD with wide viewing angle were optimized. For practical approach, we calculated the optical refractive indices of a retardation film when thickness of a retardation film was fixed at 50 ${\mu}m$. Furthermore, we also optimized optical parameters of LC cell when parameters of a retardation film were different with designed values, because the biaxial compensation film with exact designed values was very difficult to fabricate. In experiments, we achieved the wide viewing angle of over the ${\pm}$ 60 degrees by using a biaxial compensation film with a practical thickness value.

The luminance properties of FFL(Flat Fluorescent Lamp) backlights have been investigated in detail for the first time. The on-axis luminance gain as well as viewing-angle characteristics on various combinations of optical films were obtained from FFL backlight and compared to the results of conventional CCFL(cold-cathode fluorescent lamps) backlights. It was found that the on-axis luminance gains achieved by using optical films in the FFL backlight were lower than those in the CCFL backlight indicating that the recycling processes occurring between optical films and light sources/reflection sheet are not so effective in the FFL backlight due to the much larger area of, and thus higher absorption probability of the FFL. This result suggests that new optical films should be developed for FFL backlight and other flat-lamp backlight technologies.

Overdriving schemes are used to improve the response time of liquid crystal display. Typically they are implemented by using LUTs (look-up table) within an image processor. However, the size of LUT is limited by the physical memory size and system cost. In this paper, we present an improved method for LUT implementation using linear interpolation and piecewise least-square polynomial regression. Using the proposed method, the performance of LUT can be improved and memory size of that can be reduced.

기존 LED(Light Emitting Diode) 백라이트 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) TV 용 전원 장치는 다중출력 플라이백 컨버터를 사용하여 로직 보드, 영상 보드, LED 백라이트 등의 구동에 필요한 다양한 전원들을 생성, 공급한다. 특히, 기존에는 LED 백라이트의 구동을 위한 출력단에는 부스트 컨버터를 추가하여 LED 전류를 제어하였다. 따라서, 부스트 컨버터에 의한 부피 및 원가가 증가하는 단점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 부스트 컨버터 없이 보조 스위치 하나만을 사용한 LED 구동회로를 이용하여 LED의 정전류 제어가 가능한 저 가격형 LED 구동회로의 비동기식 제어방법을 제안한다. 최종적으로 제안 회로를 32인치 LCD TV 용 LED 백라이트에 적용하여 그 실험 결과를 바탕으로 제안 회로의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Recently, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) requires various technical challenges; high definition, high quality, big size, and low price. These demands more pixels in the fixed area of the LCD and very fine lead pitch of the driving IC which controls the pixels. Therefore, a new packaging technology is needed to meet such technical requirement. NCP (Non Conductive Paste) is one of the new packaging methods and has excellent characteristics to overcome the problems of the ACF (Anisotropic Conductive Film). In this paper, we analyzed the process of the NCP for COF (Chip on FPCB) and proposed the key design parameters of the NCP process. Through a series of experiments, we obtained the stable values of the design parameters for successful NCP process.

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.

A general purpose experimental set-up has been designed and implemented for students to carry out various experiments on inverters in the power electronics laboratories of universities, during a few hours of laboratory work. This is the first inverter setup that incorporates hardware and software control, as well as an optional user interface in a laboratory experimental set-up of a single multi-purpose inverter, thus making the system versatile and very practical for both undergraduate and graduate students. The system can be controlled either by a computer or through a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a keypad control unit, and it constitutes a low-cost alternative to relatively expensive commercial teaching sets. The computer provides a user friendly interface and easier control for laboratory environments equipped with computers. The LCD and keypad units eliminate the need for a computer, which makes this system usable in the laboratory as a standalone unit as well.

This paper presents a study of an integrated infrared (IR) photo sensor for display application. We fabricated hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film transistor (a-Si:H TFT) and hydrogenated amorphous silicon germanium thin film transistor (a-SiGe:H TFT) which were bottom gate structure. We investigated the dependence of a-SiGe:H TFT characteristics on incident wavelengths. We proposed photo sensor which responded to wavelengths of IR region. Proposed pixel circuit of photo sensor was consists of switch TFT and photo TFT, and one capacitor. We developed integrated photo sensor circuit and investigated the performance of the proposed sensor circuit according to the input wavelengths. The developed photo sensor circuit with a-SiGe:H TFT was suitable for IR.
