We describe a colorless, transparent polyimide films for plastic display substrate which should have heat resistance, roll-to-roll processability and low CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) property. Colorless polyimides were synthesized from 3,3',4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) and diamines such as sulfonyldianiline, aminophenoxybenzene (TPE-p, TPE-q, TPE-r) and bis[4-(3-aminophen oxy)phenyl] sulfone (m-BAPS). Their optical properties were measured by UV spectrophotometer, colormeter and hazemeter. We prepared polyimide/organophilic layered silicate nanocomposite to improve dimension stability. These colorless polyimide films showed UV transmittance by the level upper $89\%$, at 440 nm and excellent optical property having the value under yellow index (YI)=7. In addition, polyimide nanocomposite films also showed an improvement of CTE value as decreased according to the amount of layered silicate contents.

The 3wt.% Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films were fabricated on Coming 1737 substrates at a fixed oxygen pressure of 200 mTorr with various substrate temperatures ($100\;{\sim}\;250^{\circ}C$) by using pulsed laser deposition in order to investigate the microstructure, optical, and electrical properties of AZO thin films. All thin films were shown to be c-axis oriented, exhibiting only a (002) diffraction peak. The AZO thin film, fabricated at 200 mTorr and $250^{\circ}C$, showed the highest (002) orientation and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the (002) diffraction peak was $0.44^{\circ}$. The optical transmittance in the visible region was higher than 85 %. The Burstein-Moss effect, which shifts to a high photon energy, was observed. The electrical property indicated that the highest carrier concentration ($3.48{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$) and the lowest resistivity ($1.65{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}cm$) were obtained in the AZO thin film fabricated at 200 mTorr and $250^{\circ}C$.

In this study, the electrical and optical properties of GZO (Ga-doped ZnO) thin films prepared on PES substrates by RF magnetron sputtering method with various working pressures (5 to 20 mTorr) were investigated. All GZO thin films exhibited c-axis preferential growth regardless of working pressure, the GZO thin film deposited at 5 mTorr showed the most excellent crystallinity having 0.44˚ of FWHM. In AFM observations, surface roughness exhibited the lowest value of 0.20 nm in a thin film produced by the working pressure 5 mTorr. Figure of merits of GZO thin film deposited at 5 mTorr showed the highest value of 6652, in this case resistivity and average transmittance in the visible light region were 6.93×10^-4Ω-cm and 81.4%, respectively. We could observed the Burstein-Moss effect that carrier concentration decrease with the increase of working pressure and thus the energy band gap is narrowed.

This study evaluated the influence of temperature on the PV module surface on power output characteristics, especially for an amorphous transparent thin-film PV module which was applied to a full-scale mock-up model as building integrated photovoltaic system. The tested mock-up consisted of various slopes of PV module, facing to the south. The annual average temperature of the module installed with the slope of $30^{\circ}$ revealed $43.1^{\circ}C$, resulting in $7^{\circ}C$ higher than that measured in PV modules with the slope of $0^{\circ}$and $90^{\circ}$ did. This $30^{\circ}$ inclined PV module also showed the highest power output of 28.5W (measured at 2 PM) than other two modules having the power output of 20.4W and 14.9W in the same time for $0^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ in the slope, respectively. In case of the $30^{\circ}$ inclined PV module, it exhibited very uniform distribution of power output generation even under the higher temperature on the module surface. Consequently, the surface temperature of the PV module analyzed in this study resulted in 0.22% reduction in power output in every $1^{\circ}C$ increase of the module surface temperature.

본 연구에서는 유연 유기태양전지용 플렉시블 InZnSnO (IZTO)/PEDOT:PSS 투명전극을 제작하고 그 특성을 연구하였다. 이를 위해 선형 대향 타겟 스퍼터(Linear Facing Target Sputtering: LFTS) 시스템을 이용하여 그라비아 프린팅된 PEDOT:PSS/PET 매우 얇은 IZTO 투명전극을 성막하였다. 일반적으로 PEDOT:PSS 전극은 수분/산소에 약하지만 매우 얇은 IZTO passivation 층을 코팅함으로써 PEDOT:PSS의 안정성을 향상시키는 동시에 전기적 특성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 이러한 PEDOT:PSS 기반 하이브리드 투명 전극을 제작하기 위해 IZTO 두께를 5 nm에서 40 nm 까지 조절하여 IZTO/PEDOT:PSS 다층 투명전극을 제작하였으며, 이때 IZTO 두께 변수에 따라 제작된 하이브리드 IZTO/PEDOT:PSS 투명전극의 전기적, 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 최적화된 20 nm의 IZTO의 두께에서 IZTO/PEDOT:PSS 하이브리드 투명전극은 PEDOT:PSS 단일층으로 제작된 플렉서블 투명전극과 동일한 우수한 유연성을 가짐과 동시에 PEDOT:PSS 단일층보다 현저히 낮은 면저항 값(353.6 ohm/sq.)과 높은 광투과율(83.09%)을 나타내었다. 최적화된 IZTO/PEDOT:PSS 투명전극으로부터 제작된 플렉서블 유기태양전지는 IZTO의 passivation 특성으로 인해 PEDOT:PSS 단일막을 이용하여 제작된 플렉시블 투명전극보다 우수한 소자효율을(FF: 59.04%, Voc: 0.588 V, Jsc: 7.554 mA/cm2, PCE: 2.622%) 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들은 LFTS 공법으로 PEDOT:PSS위에 성막된 IZTO passivation 층이 PEDOT:PSS의 특성을 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라, PEDOT:PSS의 안정성도 향상시킬 수 있기 때문에 기존 PEDOT:PSS 기반 투명 전극의 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 해결책으로 적용이 가능하다.

starches, isolated from Japonica and nonwaxy rites, were analyzed fur gelatinization characteristics. Amylose contents of Taebaeg and Sangpung starch were 16 and 17%, respectively. The portion of large-sized particles was more pronounced in the case of Sangpung starch. Swelling power and solubility increased according to the rise in gelatinization temperature. The decrease of pasting temperature according to the incense in starch concentration in Sangpung starch was higher than that of Taebaeg starch. Most of the increase in light penetration was accomplished between 85 and $90^{\circ}C$. Gelatinization reactions of Taebaeg and Sangpung starch appeared as 2 different stages up to the gelatinization temperature of $90^{\circ}C$.

Physicochemical properties on heat-moisture treatment of sweet potato starch were investigated. Starch granules of sweet potato observed by photomicroscope, polarized-light microscope and scanning electron microscope were round and polygonal. X-ray diffraction pattern was changed from Ca-pattern to A-pattern upon heat-moisture treatment. Water binding capacity was drastically increased as the moisture level was increased. The swelling power and solubility at the same temperature were decreased by heat-moisture treatment. Transmittance of 0.1% starch suspensions was increased rapidly from $65^{\circ}C$ in case of untreated starch and from $70^{\circ}C$ in case of treated starch. The starch on heat-moisture treatment was gelatinized over higher temperature range than the untreated starch.

Starch samples of rice and glutinous rice starches were adjusted to 27 % of moisture and heated at $100^{\circ}C$ for 16 hours, respectively. After the treatment, their physicochemical properties were investigated. The granule shapes of all the starches were polygonal and they became slightly bigger in their sizes after the treatment. All their X-ray diffraction patterns were A types. The specific gravity of the starches decreased to 1.03-1.09 by the treatment. The water binding capacity of rice starches increased, while that of glutinous counterparts slightly decreased. Almost no change in the amount of amylose included was found. Swelling power and solubility were increased with the increase of temperature. At a certain temperature, however, the solubility of the treated starches increased when the swelling power decreased. The initial gelatinization temperatures of Akkibare, Yongmun, and Taebaek starches were $60{\sim}65^{\circ}C$ but those of glutinous rice starch and U.S.A. rice starch were $55{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ and $70{\sim}75^{\circ}C$, respectively, as measured by transmittance. The gelatinization temperature of the treated starches was higher than that of the untreated starches.

Starch granules of mungbean observed by microscope and scanning microscope were oval or round, $8{\sim}13{\mu}$ wide, and $18{\sim}30{\mu}m$ long. X-ray diffraction of the starch granules resulted weak crystallinity at $2{\theta}\;16.9^{\circ}$ The blue value of the starch was 0.36, amylose content 22.7%, alkali number 8.52, ferricyanide number 1.06, and water binding capacity of 81.6%. Swelling of the starch was negligible until $50^{\circ}C$, thereafter it increased rapidly. Optical transmittance of 0.3% starch suspension was increased rapidly from $65^{\circ}C$ and the gelatinization at $65{\sim}90^{\circ}C$ was of single stage. Amylogram patterns of the 6.7 and 8% starch solution were similar with no peak viscosity. The time constant for retrogradation of 40% starch gel stored at $21^{\circ}C$ was 1.99 days.

This study is an algorithm for detecting vein pattern features important for finger vein recognition. The feature detection algorithm is important because it greatly affects recognition results in pattern recognition. The recognition rate is degraded because the reference is changed according to the finger position change. In addition, the image obtained by irradiating the finger with infrared light is difficult to separate the image background and the blood vessel pattern, and the detection time is increased because the image preprocessing process is performed. For this purpose, the presented algorithm can be performed without image preprocessing, and the detection time can be reduced. SWDA (Down Slope Trace Waveform) algorithm is applied to the finger vein images to detect the fingertip position and vein pattern. Because of the low infrared transmittance, relatively dark vein images can be detected with minimal detection error. In addition, the fingertip position can be used as a reference in the classification stage to compensate the decrease in the recognition rate. If we apply algorithms proposed to various recognition fields such as palm and wrist, it is expected that it will contribute to improvement of biometric feature detection accuracy and reduction of recognition performance time.
