We have investigated electro-optical characteristics in three kinds of twisted nematic (TN) cells on the polyimide surface. The threshold voltage and the response time of thermal stressed TN cells were same that of no thermal stressed TN cells. There were little change of value in these TN cells. On the other hand, transmittance of no thermal stressed TN cells were better than that of thermal stressed TN cells. Transmittances of TN cells on the polyimide surface decreased by increasing thermal stress time. Moreover, the residual DC of the thermal stressed TN cells increased as increasing thermal stress temperature and time. Therefore, thermal stability of TN cells were decreased gradually by giving high thermal stress for a long time.

Recently, specifications of flat display module is going to be higher definition, brightness and more wide viewing angle. On the other hand, physical thickness of those modules is forced to be slimmer and lighter. The flat display modules such as plasma or TFT-LCD employ thin crystallized panels that are normally weak to high level transient mechanical energy inputs. As a result, anti-shock performance is one of the most important design specifications of TFT-LCD modules. TFT-LCD module manufacturers and their customers like PC or TV makers perform a series of strict impact/drop test for the modules. However most of the large display module designs are generated based on engineer's own trial-error experiences. Those designs may result in disqualification from the drop/impact test during final product evaluation. A rigorous study on the impact failure of the displays is of course necessitated in order to avoid the problems. In this article, a systematic design evaluation is presented with combinations of FEM modeling and testing to support the optimal shock proof display design procedure.

Recently, LCD (liquid crystal display) industry is needed to goods of high reliability and wide range temperature condition and it is interested in products for extremely cold condition without failure of light-up. In this experiment, we made the LED backlight unit for Automotive-navigation under the extremely cold condition. And for making this backlight unit, we used to eight side emitting type white LEDs with 3W high power LED. We could know that this backlight unit releases to 18,000 nit in 24W power consumption and start up voltage time is under the 1ms in the ambient temperature at -40.

As the digital TV markets rapidly growing, many manufacturers introduce large size flat screen TV units. There are two different display types available to large size models which are plasma and TFT-LCD. Since both are constructed with thin large panels that are mostly fragile to even moderate mechanical shock inputs. Some large size panels are severely resonated by the acoustic sound generated TV which deteriorates video quality. Recognizing the potential problems of large displays, accurate measurement of the panels is to be an essential task for the reliable design. Measurement of mechanical properties of a thin large crystallized panel such as TFT-LCD display with traditional material testing equipments is challenging. Since TFT-LCDs are constructed with combination of brittle glass panels, polymer sheets, and liquid crystal, their properties are not only anisotropic but also usually non-linear. Accurate measurement of the properties often requires very expensive facilities. Especially when the size of the test sample is as large as 40-inch or wider, direct measurement cost is prohibitive. Even worse, machining of the large TFT-LCD to make a smaller size specimen that could be fit into a material tester is not possible because of liquid crystal leakage. A new method fer the measurement of elastic modulus of large TFT-LCD panel is presented in this article. The suggested method provides a simple, economic, and user-friendly way fer measuring the elastic modulus of large panels with considerable level of accuracy.

새로운 반사형 텔레비젼 디스푸레이를 소개한다. 이 방법에서는 선상의 액체결정의 다이나믹 스캣터링 모오드(Dynamic Scattering Mode, DSM)를 이용하며 주위가 밝은 곳에서도 볼 수 있다. 6∼12μm 두께의 액체결정은 뜯을 수 있는 음극선관 위에 와이어-모자의 훼이스 프레이트를 사용하는 전자속으로 실시간에 번지선택된다. 두가지 종류의 액체결정물질-Anasyliden Para-Amino Phenyl Acetate(APAPA)와 RCA 특유의 실온액체결정-을 시험했는데 동작온도(APAPA는 82°∼110℃이고 다른 것은 실온)를 제외하고는 비슷한 결과가 나왔다. 사방 3.1cm의 디스푸레이에서는 해상도가 적용 텔레비젼에 필요한 150line 보다 약간 떨여졌는데 그 원인은 액정결정 때문이 아니고 모자익의 구조에 의한 제한 때문이다. 더 나은 해상도를 얻으려면 디스푸레이를 좀더 크게하면 된다. 콘트라스트는 최적화(7.5:1)하지 않았다. 그러나 이 값을 정적인 디스푸레이에서 본 바와 같이 15∼20대 1로 개선하기 위해서는 몇가지의 기술을 사용할 수 있다. 이 디스푸레이 방법의 매력으로는 적당한 외부조명하에서는 약 ±45°의 넓은 관람각을 갖는데 있다고 하겠다. 액체결정내에서 DSM이 일어나도록 하는데 필요한 전류, 전압치들을 보면 평평한 텔레비젼 화면에 적합한 완전한 번지선택법에의 근사방법이 발견될 수 있으리라는 희망을 갖일 수 있다.

필자와 비슷한 또래로 1980년대에 중·고등학교를 다녔던 서른 중반의 아저씨 혹은 아줌마라면, 그 당시 한창 유행했던 휴대용 카세트테이프 플레이어를 기억할 것이다. 대표적인 제품이었던 일본 S사의 W 상표를 가진 플레이어를 가방에서 꺼내 이어폰을 꽂고 있는 것만으로도 주위 친구들의 부러움을 사곤 했다. 등하교 길에 전영록과 김현식 같은 가수의 테이프를 듣고, 야간 자율학습 시간에 FM라디오로 가위바위보나 별밤과 같은 프로그램을 듣기도 했다. 이제는 시간이 지나 등하교 대신에 출퇴근을 하는 입장이지만, 눈에 비춰지는 모습은예전 모습과 일견 비슷해 보이기도 하다. 귀에 이어폰을 꽂고 무언가를 듣고 있는 모습은 줄곧 봐왔던 행태다. 하지만, 뭔가 다르다. 듣는 것 뿐만 아니라 이제는 보기까지 한다. 손에 든 기기의 액정화면을 통해 영화를 보고, 교육방송을 보고, TV를 보고, 게임을 한다. 시간은 세상을 이렇게 바꾸어 놓았다.

We have studied a liquid crystal (LC) mode (named locked super homeotropic (LSH)) in which the LCs aligned homeotropically are locked by surrounding walls such as cubic, hexagonal and cylinder. In the device, the vertically aligned LCs tilt down symmetrically around the center of the cell when a voltage is applied and thus it exhibits wide viewing angle. The structure of this LSH mode is suitable for large-sized display panels. since the LCs are locked in micro domains the LCs do not flow to the bottom of the panel by gravity. This mode is applicable to achieve high performance TFT-LCD TV because of high performance characteristics such as high contrast, high brightness, wide-viewing angle.

For coherent optical information processing the thickness uniformity of the spatial light modulators(SLMs)is highly demanded. The liquid crystal display(LCD), which is commercialized as a pocket-sized television, is considered as one of the most cheap 2-dimensional SLM. But usually it has lack of thickness uniformity. Thus phase correction to compensate the thickness nonuniformity must be preceded before it is used as an SLM. In this paper relatively easy phase compensation method applicable to binary SLMs is discussed and experimentally verified by using the optical joint transformantion concept.
