3D Printing has a great advantage for its capabilities in manufacturing complicated structures in a reasonable manufacturing time, and thus is widely used in various fields. Due to the high cost of the equipment and material, a fairly acceptable equipment, the Projection Stereolithography Apparatus (PSLA), has been developed, using the projection pattern approach for the purpose of quick manufacturing. We evaluated its surface quality, as compared with that of other systems. The result is the development of a high-performance, low-cost 3D Printer and its operating software, using LCD and UV LED. Working materials for an optimal manufacturing are suggested in the research, along with some suggestions of basic approaches for enhancing the accuracy and quality of the manufactured structures.

기존의 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 이용한 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) 백라이트 유닛은 LED에 과전류가 흐르면 소자의 파손이 발생하고 무부하시 불필요한 전력소모가 발생하는 경우가 있어 보호회로가 필요하였다. 그래서 본 논문은 보호회로를 이용한 LCD 백라이트 유닛용의 LED 구동회로를 제안한다. 제안된 보호회로는 2가지로 첫 번째 보호회로는 무부하시 소비전력을 줄이는 보호회로 이다. 시뮬레이션 결과 무부하시 피드백 제어부 IC(Integrated Circuit)의 전원전압 $V_{cc}$를 UVLO(Under Voltage Lock Out)전압 이하로 강하시켰다. 그래서 무부하시 소비되는 전력을 줄일 수 있었다. 두번째 보호회로는 과전류시 보호회로 이다. 시뮬레이션 결과 과전류시 SCR이 온 되어 피드백 제어부 IC의 전원전압 $V_{cc}$를 UVLO전압 이하로 강하시켰다. 따라서 과전류시 LED 동회로 소자의 파손을 방지할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

Recently, photosensitive color filters have received much attention for their use in the liquid crystal display (LCD) industry. It is well known that chemical and physical properties of polymer surfaces can be modified by special surface treatments. In this work, we have studied the polymer surfaces of LCD blue color filters which were exposed to the UV light during photolithography. A better understanding of the irradiated polymer surfaces is required for the subsequent processes such as plasma etching, ITO electrode deposition, etc. The surface analysis has been undertaken using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). A significant enrichment of the pigment component and roughening of surface with bubble-like feature have been observed at the modified polymer surface.

LCD-BLU(Liquid Crystal Display - Back Light Unit) consists of several optical sheets: LGP(Light Guiding Plate), light source and mold frame. The LGP of LCD-BLU is usually manufactured by etching process and forming numerous dots with $50{\mu}m$ in diameter on the surface. But the surface roughness of LGP with etched dots is very high, so there is much loss of light. In order to overcome the limit of current etched dot patterned LGP, optical pattern design with microlens of $50{\mu}m$ diameter was applied in the present study. The microlens pattern fabricated by modified LiGA with thermal reflow process was applied to the optical design of LGP and optical simulation was carried out to know tendency of microlens patterned LGP simultaneously. The attention was paid to the effects of different aspect ratio(i.e. $0.2\sim0.5$) of optical pattern conditions to the brightness distribution of BLU with microlens patterned LGP. Finally, high aspect ratio microlens patterned LGP showed superior results to the one made by low aspect ratio in average luminance.

Abnormal operating sounds radiated from a moving transfer robot in LCD (liquid crystal display) product lines have been used for the fault detection line of a robot instead of other source signals such as vibrations, acoustic emissions, and electrical signals. Its advantage as a source signal makes it possible to monitor the status of multiple faults by using only a microphone, despite a relatively low sensitivity. The wavelet packet transform for feature extraction and the artificial neural network for fault classification are employed. It can be observed that the abnormal operating sound is sufficiently useful as a source signal for the fault diagnosis of mechanical components as well as other source signals.

In this paper we introduce a method to optimize panel parameters and drive signals in a matrix-adressed bistable twsited-nematic (BTN) liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. We measured the effect of data pulses on optical switching characteristics in a BTN LC cell to model the effect theoretically. We introduce a weighting function to model the effect of data pulses on the switching energy as a function of time. Once the weighting function is known, we can estimate the maximum number of lines for multiplexing operation at a given frame rate by calculating the minimum data pulse width. By characterizing a unit cell as we change panel parameters (for example, d/p ratio), we can optimize parameters for high-speed operation. We found that our theoretical predictions agree very well with experimental results.

최근 미세가공 및 자동측정 분야가 고성능화 되어 자동화가 많이 실현되고 있다. 이러한 자동화는 고정밀도와 동시에 제품 생산에 대한 저비용, 단기납기, 고품질의 제품 창출로 이어진다. 현재 핸드폰 시장이 급성장함에 따라 핸드폰의 생산 주기가 현저하게 짧아지고 핸드폰 조립공정에 있어서 다양한 크기에 대한 핸드폰 평판표시장치인 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)가 존재하고 있다. 핸드폰 조립공정에 있어서 이러한 다양한 LCD 표시장치(LCD, PDP, FED등)를 보호하기 위하여 보호매체인 PE/PET 필름을 부착하여 납품하도록 하고 있으며, 핸드폰 조립공정에서 발생할 수 있는 흠집 등 기타 불량을 줄이도록 노력하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 보호필름은 현재 핸드폰 조립공정 후판부에서 평판표시장치의 유리기판의 크기에 맞게 보호필름을 절단하도록 공정이 구성되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 핸드폰 조립공정을 개선하고 자동화하기 위하여 경박단소용 평판표시장치의 얇은 유리기판에 접착된 PE/PET 필름을 핸드폰의 다양한 패턴에 맞추어 하단의 유리기판에는 결함이 없도록 하여 보호필름만을 커팅 할 수 있는 커팅시스템을 제안하고 정밀계측에 대한 실험 데이터를 제시하고자 한다.

In this study, we proposed an optical compensation method to improve the symmetricity of contrast ratio for wide viewing angle IPS (in-plane switching) LCD. First, the phase retardation depending on the thickness of compensation film is calculated, and then the phase change is presented at the $Poincar{\acute{e}}$ sphere. The phase retardation and the polarization state of the light passing through the optical elements are caculated by using the EJMM (extended Jones matrix method). In addition, the transmittance and the contrast countour are also calculated by using the Berremann's $4{\times}4$ matrix method. The simulation is carried out for a IPS LC cell with positive A/C/A compensation film. From the standard deviation of the contrast ratio, we confirmed the symmetricity at each viewing angle is inversely proportional to the standard deviation and calculated the optimum design condition of the uniaxial compensation film for the IPS LCD.

Recently, the fringe-field switching (FFS) mode in liquid crystal displays has been used mainly for high image quality and high-resolution liquid crystal displays (LCDs). In this review paper, the fundamental switching principle of the FFS mode, with its excellence over other LC modes in electro-optic performance, will be described. In addition, the development history, present technical issues, and future of the FFS LCD will be discussed.

In this paper, we implemented a three dimensional image display system using stereogram and holographic optical memory techniques which can store many images and reconstruct them automatically. In this system, to store and reconstruct stereo images, incident angle of reference beam must be controlled in real time, so we used BPH(binary phase hologram) and LCD(liquid crystal display) for controlling reference beam. The reference beams are acquired by Fourier transform of BPHs which designed with SA(simulated annealing)algorithm, and the BPHs are represented on the LCD with the 0.05 seconds time interval using application software for reconstructing the stereo images. And input images are represented on the LCD without polarizer/analyzer for maintaining uniform beam intensities regardless of the brightness of input images. The input images and BPHs are edited using application software(Photoshop) with having the same recording scheduled time interval in storing. The reconstructed stereo images are acquired by capturing the output images with CCD camera at the behind of the analyzer which transforms phase information into brightness information of images. In output plane, we used a LCD shutter that is synchronized to a monitor that display alternate left and right eye images for depth perception. We demonstrated optical experiment which store and reconstruct four stereo images in BaTiO$_3$ repeatedly using the proposed holographic optical memory techniques.
