Optical simulation methods such as a ray tracing technique have been widely used to predict the optical performances of collimating films for LCD backlight applications. It is necessary to optimize simulation conditions which have substantial effect on the simulation result in order to predict accurate performances of collimating films. We have set up a very simple backlight model consisting of a reflection film, a virtual flat light-source, and a prism film, which is a representative collimating film for backlight, in order to analyze the simulation conditions which are strongly correlated with the on-axis luminance gain and the viewing-angle characteristics of prism films. It was found that the dependence of the relative change in the on-axis luminance on the structure and material properties of collimating films can be derived from the above-mentioned simple BLU model and from simulation using it. However, the exact reflection property of the reflection film and the distribution of the incident light onto the optical film were found to be very important for revealing exact viewing-angle characteristics of collimating films.

A new sheet of back light unit(BLU) to reduce the number of sheets and enhance the optical performances of direct back light unit(BLU) in a liquid crystal display is proposed and designed. In order to improve the straightness and spatial uniformity of brightness of the BLU, we design the new sheet with linear arrays of complicated bar prism by using the fusion of cylindrical lens and bar prism. Then, we investigate and analyze various optical performances of a BLU including the new sheet through an illumination optical system design program. From these results, we determine the optimum geometrical structure of the sheet. Under the optimum condition, the luminance efficiency and spatial uniformity of luminance of the BLU are 53.5% and 83.5% respectively. And the vertical and horizontal widths of the angular luminance distribution are $90^{\circ}$ and $112.5^{\circ}$ respectively. Finally we have fabricated a new BLU sheet according to this design shape by using an ordinary resins.

빛이 입사각별로 태양투과율이 제어되어지는 첨단 창과 같은 물체를 통과할 때 투과되는 성분은 직달투과와 산란투과성분으로 볼 수 있다. 직달투과는 물체를 통과하면서 일정한 방향으로 굴절되어 투과되는 성질을 말하고, 산란투과는 직달투과를 제외한 나머지 방향의 성분들의 형태를 말한다. 이러한 첨단 창의 냉난방부하에 미치는 에너지성능을 평가하기 위해서는 산란투과에 대한 정보가 필요하고, 이에 대한 물리적 변수는 입사각, 출력각, 양방향 투과율 분산함수인 BTDF로 정의된다. 본 논문에서는 3개의 서로 나른 첨단 창 (1) $42^{\circ}/5^{\circ}$ 프리즘 창 판넬, (2) 레이저 컷 판넬 (3) $45^{\circ}$ 프리즘 3M 필름의 BTDF 데이터 획득을 위한 실험 방안을 소개하고, 실험을 통해 획득한 정보를 이용하여 계산식과 비교 검증을 하였다. 따라서 이 검증된 방안을 이용하여 지역별 냉난방 부하를 최소화 할 수 있는 입사각별로 태양 투과율 제어 판넬을 선정할 수 있게 되었다.

The optical performance of LLF(Lenticular Lens Film)-based backlight was studied by using optical simulation as functions of the aspect ratio and the refractive index of lenticular lenses. In order to perform reliable simulation, the BSDF(bi-directional scattering distribution function) of the scattering dots on the bottom surface of the light guide plate was obtained as a superposition of the Lambertian and the elliptic Gaussian distribution components by comparing the experimental results and the simulation for the luminance distribution on the light guide. Based on this approach, an appropriate BSDF of the scattering dots of the light guide was constructed. The resultant values of the optimized aspect ratio and the refractive were found to be 1.25 and 1.65, respectively. In spite of the hybrid aspects of LLF incorporating both diffusing and collimating functions, the optical performance, in particular the on-axis luminance of LLF-based backlight was inferior by about 20% compared to that of conventional backlights adopting one prism film. However, the combination of two lenticular lens films resulted in comparable luminance gain as well as smooth decrease in the luminance with the viewing angle without exhibiting any side lobes.

디스플레이용 PET필름 시장이 활황을 띌 것으로 보인다. 디스플레이용 PET필름은 확산.보호.반사 필름, 프리즘시트 등 LCD 광학필름의 원재료 격으로 국내 시장(세계약 40% 추정)은 LCD TV 등의 확산에 힘입어 올해 약 32% 정도의 고성장이 예상되고 있다. 그동안 포장재.비디오테이프∙전자부품 등 범용 PET필름 생산에 주력했던 SKC.코오롱.도레이새한 등 주요 화학.섬유 업체들이 LCD광학필름 제조에 필요한 디스플레이용 PET 필름의 생산 인프라를 확대하거나 새롭게 구축하기 시작한 것이다. 특히 그동안 기존 범용 PET 필름 생산라인의 일부를 이용해 생산했던 방식에서 탈피해 디스플레이 전용 라인을 신설, 향후 지속적인 수요확대에 대응한다는 전략을 구체화하고 있어 주목된다. 본 고에서는 (사)한국포장협회 회원사를 대상으로 조사한 내용을 바탕으로 업체별 PET 및 Nylon 시장을 살펴보도록 하겠다.

Computer simulated results of optical characteristics of our MFLA-type light-guided plate compared with the conventional prism-type one are presented. We show that the MFLA-type light-guide plate can replace well the conventional prism-type plate.
