In order to quickly and clearly recognize characters or images through display glass, glare of the glass must be suppressed. In this study, we tried to reduce glare by analyzing changes in glass surface shape and optical properties through etching process. The etching process was performed as a function of concentrations of the etching solutions, BOE and HF. During the etching process, a compound containing F ion was generated on the surface of the glass, forming an irregular pattern in the form of a projection, and thus various optical properties of the glass were changed; reflectance of 2.5~4.6 %, haze of 4.5~6.6 %, transmittance of 77~92 %, and gloss of 82~107 GU. As a result, optimum etching condition was obtained to minimize the loss of other optical properties while suppressing glare of the glass.

In order to develop transparent electrodes for high efficiency GaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs), the electrical and optical properties of the electron beam evaporated ITO contacts have been investigated as a function of the deposition temperature and flow rate of oxygen during the deposition. As the deposition temperature increases from $140^{\circ}C$ to $220^{\circ}C$, the resistivity of the ITO films decreases slightly from $4.0{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ to $3.3{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$, meanwhile the transmittance of the ITO films significantly increases from 67% to 88% at the wavelength of 470 nm. When the flow rate of oxygen during the deposition increases from 2 sccm to 4 sccm, the resistivity of the ITO films increases from $3.6{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ to $7.4{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$, meanwhile the transmittance of the ITO films increases from 86% to 99% at 470 nm. Blue LEDs fabricated with the electron beam evaporated ITO electrode show that the ITO films deposited at $200^{\circ}C$ and 3 sccm of the oxygen flow rate give a low forward-bias voltage of 3.55 V at injection current of 20 mA with a highest output power.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a functional material with interesting optical and electrical properties, a wide band gap (more than 3.3 eV), a high transmittance in the visible light region, piezoelectric properties, and a high n-type conductivity. This material has been investigated for use in many applications, such as transparent electrodes, blue light-emitting diodes, and ultra-violet detector. ZnO films grown under low oxygen pressure by thin film deposition methods show low resistivity and large free electron concentration. Therefore, reducing the background carrier concentration in ZnO films is one of the major challenges ahead of realizing high-performance ZnO-based optoelectronic devices. In this study, we deposited ZnO thin films on sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with employing an oxygen plasma source to decrease the background free-electron concentration and enhance the crystalline quality. Then, the substrate temperature was varied between 200 'C to 900 'C The vacuum chamber was initially evacuated to a pressure of $10^{-6}$ Torr, and then a pure $O_2$ gas was introduced into the chamber and the pressure during deposition was maintained at $10^{-2}$ Torr. Crystallinity and orientation of ZnO films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The film surface was analyzed with atomic force microscope (AFM). And electrical properties were measured at room temperature by Hall measurement.

Polymer-like amorphous carbon films were deposited on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and their water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) were tested. propane was used as precursors. To make a polymer-like amorphous carbon film the deposition rate, surface roughness, light transmittance, and WVTR of the films were characterized as a function of the precursor feed ratio and plasma power. The water vapor transmission rates of bare PEN film and single layer PAC on PEN substrate were 6.95 g/m2/day and 0.3 g/m2/day, respectively. The superior property the water vapor permeability of thin layers of PAC was attributed to uniform coverage and good adhesion between PAC film and PEN substrate.

We have investigated the continuous pretilt angle generation for liquid crystals using a rubbing treated mixture layer consisting of homogeneous and homeotropic polyimides. Various pretilt angles in the range from $0^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$ were achieved as a function of the concentration of homeotropic PI. The transmittance characteristics used to measure the pretilt angle showed that the pretilt angles were measured with a high reliability. We observed uniform liquid crystal alignment on the rubbing treated mixture layer.

Al, Ga and In doped ZnO thin film were prepared by faing targets sputtering as a function of oxygen gas contents at R.T. Base pressure was $2{\times}10^{-6}torr$, and working pressure was 1mTorr. The properties of thin films on the electrical and optical properties of the deposited films were investigated by using a four-point probe (Chang-min), a Hall Effect measurement (Ecopia) and an UV/VIS spectrometer (HP). The minimum resistivities of AZO, GZO and IZO thin film were $6.5{times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}-cm],5.5{\times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}-cm]$ and $4.29{\times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}-cm]$. The average transmittance of over 80% was seen in the visible range.

In this study, We made use of inter-electrode capacitively coupled type plasma polymerization apparatus in order to make the organic optical thin films. We adopted in Benzen. Vinyl-Pyridine and Styrene, which have optical function in the organic world and manufactured double later. It is examined optics properties by it respectively. At the middle wave length as 550[nm], the transmittance is double layer smaller than one of single layer. The refractive index with wave length is various from 1.55 to 1.65. Then, it is known that measured results are valid because the extinction coefficient(K) is about $10^{-4}$ for variation of refractive index.

Global efforts have made to reduce energy consumption and $CO_2$ gas emission. One of the weakest parts for energy loss through the whole building components is building envelopes. Lots of technologies to increase the thermal performance of building envelopes have been introduced in recent year. Transparent Insulation Wall(TIW) is a new technology for building insulation and has been function both solar transmittance and thermal insulation. A mathematical model of a Transparent Insulation Wall equipped with south wall was proposed in order to predict thermal performance under varying climates(summer and winter). Unsteady state heat transfer equations were set up using an energy balance equation and solved using Gauss-Seidel iteration solution procedure. The thermal performance of the TIW determined from a wall surface and air layer temperature, non-airconditioned room temperature and air conditioning load. As a result, this numerical study shows that the TIW is effective in an air conditioning load reduction. Further experimental study is required to establish complete TIW system.

Amorphous silicon films were deposited on glass, [100] single crystal silicon wafer with thermally grown silicon dioxide, and [100] silicon wafer substrates by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition(with argon diluted silane source gas). Growth rate, UV optical band edge, and the hydrogen quantity in the amorphous silicon films have been investigated as a function of the preparation conditions by measuring film thickness, UV-absorbency, and FT-IR transmittance. The growth rate of the ${\alpha}$-Si:H films increases with increasing substrate temperture, flow rate and R.F. power density. The UV optical band edge shifts to blue with the increases in the deposition pressure. Increasing substrate temperature shifts the UV optical band edge of the films to red. Hydrogen quantity in the ${\alpha}$-Si:H films increases with an increases in the R.F. powr and decreases with an increase in the substrate temperature.

The ITO thin films were prepared by FTS (Facing Targets Sputtering) system on polycarbonate (PC) substrate. The ITO thin films were deposited with a film thickness of 100nm at room temperature. As a function of sputtering conditions, electrical and optical properties of prepared ITO thin films were measured. The electrical and optical characteristics of the ITO thin films were evaluated by Hall Effect Measurement (EGK) and UV-VIS spectrometer (HP), respectively. From the results, the ITO thin film was deposited with a resistivity $8{\times}10^{-4}[{\Omega}-cm]$ and transmittance over 80%.
