In recent years, flexible display devices such as liquid crystal display (LCD), organic light emitting diode (OLED), etc. have attracted considerable interest in a wide variety of applications. Polymer substrate is absolutely necessary to realize this kind of flexible display devices. Using the polymer as a substrate, there are lots of advantages including not only mechanical flexibility such as rolling and bending characteristics but also light weights, low cost and so on. In detail, thickness and weights is only one forth and one second of glass substrate, respectively. However, it needs low temperature below $150^{\circ}C$ in the fabrication process comparing to conventional deposition process. The polymer substrate is not thermally stable as much as the glass substrate so that some deformation can be occurred according to variation of temperature. In particular, performance of devices can be easily deteriorated by shrinkage of substrate when heating it. In this paper, pre-annealing and deposition of buffer layer was introduced and studied to solve previously mentioned problems of the shrinkage and followed shear stress.

To improve the color gamut of a liquid-crystal display (LCD), we propose a bandpass filter that is added to the backlight unit to optimize the backlight spectrum. The bandpass filter can only transmit red, green and blue light in the visible range, while reflecting the unwanted light. We study the optical properties of the bandpass filter using the transfer-matrix method, and the effect of the bandpass filter on the color gamuts of LCDs is also investigated. When a bandpass filter based on a 5-layer configuration comprising low and high refractive indices ((HL)²H) is used in phosphor-converted white-light-emitting diode (pc-WLED), K₂SiF₆:Mn⁴⁺ (KSF-LED), and quantum-dot (QD) backlights, the color gamuts of the LCDs improve from 72% to 95.3% of NTSC, from 92% to 106.7% of NTSC, and from 104.3% to 112.2% of NTSC respectively. When the incident angle of light increases to 30°, the color gamuts of LCDs with pc-WLED and KSF-LED backlights decrease by 2.9% and 1% respectively. For the QD backlight, the color gamut almost does not change. When the (HL)²H structure is coated on the diffusion film, the color gamut can be improved to 92.6% of NTSC (pc-WLED), 105.6% of NTSC (KSF-LED), and 111.9% of NTSC (QD). The diffusion film has no obvious effect on the color gamut. The results have an important potential application in wide-color-gamut LCDs.

Electro-Optical (EO) performances for the ion beam (IB) aligned twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with ion beam exposure on the new of diamond like carbon (DLC) thin film surface were investigated. Voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve and response time without backflow bounce in the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with ion beam exposure for 0.5 and 1min on the DLC thin film was observed. Also. the fast response time of ion beam aligned TN-LCD with ion beam exposure for 1min on the DLC thin film surface can be achieved. The residual DC voltage of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD on the DLC thin film surface was almost the same as that of the rubbing aligned TN-LCD on the polyimide(PI) surface.

This paper presents the robust design of gripper part for a high-speed LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) transfer system. In this paper, the 1st DOE (Design of Experiment) is conducted to find out main-effect factors fur the design of gripper part. Thirty-six experiments are performed using $ANSYS^{(R)}$ and their results are statistically analyzed using $MINITAB^{(R)}$, which shows that the factors, i.e., First-width, Second-width, Rec-width, and thickness of gripper part, are more important than other factors. The main effect plots shows that the maximum deflection and mass of gripper part are minimized by increasing First-width, Second-width, Rec-width and thickness. The 2nd DOE is conducted to obtain RSM (Response Surface Method) equation. The CCD (Central Composite Design) technique with four factors is used. Optimum design is conducted using the RSM equation. Genetic algorithm is used for optimal design. Six sigma robust design is conducted to find out a guideline for control range of design parameter. To obtain six sigma level reliability, the standard deviations of design parameters are shown to be controlled within 5% of average design value.

To correctly detect muras, visual defects in TFT-LCD panels, image distortion occurring on the profess of capturing panels should be corrected. In general vision systems, there are several known methods to restore the observed image. However, the vignetting effect particularly shown only in panel images cannot be easily restored through traditional methods because it is combined with background non-uniformity due to the unique characteristic of panel. To increase the reliability of image restoration, the vignetting effect should be properly corrected after being separated from image background. Therefore, in this paper we present a new method to analyze and correct the vignetting effect of panel images using principal component analysis. Experimental results for a total of 175 test images showed that the average contrast error of the muras in the distorted images was reduced from 37% to 11% and the mura misidentification rate was decreased from 14.8% to 2.2% by image restoration.

The structural, electrical and etching characteristics of Al alloy thin film with low impurity concentrations AlNd deposited by using do magnetron sputtering deposition are investigated for the applications as gate bus line in the TFt-LCD panel. And ITO thin film was deposited on AlNd, then the contact resistance was measured by Kelvin resistor. The deposited thin films show the decrease of resistivity and the increase of grain size after the RTA at $300^{\circ}C$ for 20 min. Moreover, the resistivity of AlNd does not show appreciable grain size dependence after RTA. It is concluded that the decrease of resistivity after RTA is due to the increase of grain size. The annealed AlNd is found to be hillock free. The etching profiles of AlNd was good and the minimun contact resistance was about $110\;{\mu\Omega}cm$. Calculation results reveal that the AlNd (2wt.%) thin film can be applicable to 25" SXGA class TFT-LCD panels.

Objectives: This study analyzed the local exposure levels of radiation emitted from the equipment with soft X-ray ionizers to investigate the radiation exposure levels in Liquid Crystal Display(LCD) manufacturing processes. Methods: This study measured the local radiation levels for the equipment installed in two LCD manufacturing companies. The equipment were installed at diverse processes and equipped with various number of ionizers. The local radiation levels were measured on the surface of the equipment by using direct reading equipment, and the measurements were converted into annual effective dose by considering the radiation exposure time of workers. Statistical analyses were performed to investigate the radiation exposure characteristics. Results: Annual effective doses for 97.6% of the equipment being measured were less than 1 mSv. However, the range of annual effective doses was 0.004 mSv ~ 2.167 mSv, which indicated a large variation among the equipment. Statistical analyses of the study found that this large variation was raised due to improper shielding of the equipment rather than process and/or equipment characteristics. To pinpoint the cause of this large variation in annual effective dose, this study improved the shielding of the equipment being radiated over 1 mSv and found that their average effective dose was reduced from 1.604 mSv to 0.126 mSv after shielding improvement. Conclusions: Relatively high exposure levels of radiation were observed in some equipment where their shielding were insufficiently thick and/or sealed. This finding implies that the shielding of the equipment is an important engineering countermeasure to control the radiation exposure levels in industries.

Recently, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) has been replaced by OLDE (Organic Light Emitting Diode) in high resolution display industry. In the process of OLDE production, it inspects defective products by sending a signal using a probe during OLED panel inspection. At this time, the cause of the detection of failure is divided into two. One is the self-defect of the OLED panel and the other is the poor contact occurring in the process of contact between the two. The second case is unknown at the time of testing, which increases the time for retesting. To this end, we made a system that can identify in real time whether the probe is in contact during the inspection. A contact probe unit was designed for the system, and a stage system was implemented. An inspection system was constructed through S / W and circuit configuration for actual inspection. Finally, a system that can check contact and non-contact in real time was constructed.
