Hg-free fluorescent lamps were fabricated and electro-optical characterization were measured for using LCD backlight. PDP phosphors, nitro-cellulose and n-butyl acetate were mixed and coated uniformly in glass tube without stain. The glass tubes were sintered at $550^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes, vacuumed to $10^{-6}$ torr and supplied discharge gas by using a gas mixture. After various experiment about phosphors thickness and inner diameter of glass tube, the appropriate phosphors thickness and inner diameter of glass tube were obtained. The luminance and luminous efficiency of manufactured fluorescent lamps with Ne+Xe discharge gas were $6,270cd/m^2$, 13 lm/W under 75 kHz sinusoidal wave voltage, respectively.

유기 EL(Organic Light Emitting diode : OLED)은 자체발광 소자로서 액정 디스플레이(Liquid Crystal Display)에 비해 빠른 응답속도, 넓은 시야각 등의 뛰어난 화질 표현이 가능하다. 구동 박막 트랜지스터(TFT)의 전류가 OLED의 휘도를 결정하므로, 고품질의 영상을 위해 미세한 TFT 전류 조절 능력이 매우 중요하다. 비정질 실리콘(a-Si) TFT는 그레인 구조를 갖는 다결정 실리콘(poly-Si) TFT에 비해 균일한 전기적 특성을 나타내지만, 장시간 구동에 따른 문턱전압의 열화가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 상기의 문제점을 최소화하기 위하여 positive bias에 의한 열화를 negative bias로 어닐링하는 구동방법을 제안하였다. 본 회로는 2개의 게이트 선택 신호와 6개의 a-Si TFT로 이루어져 있다. 실험 결과를 통해 추출된 소자 parameter를 바탕으로 제안된 회로의 simulation을 수행 및 검증하였다. 본 회로는 a-Si TFT에서 발생하는 문턱전압 열화 등의 신뢰성 문제를 감소시킨다.

최근 InGaN 양자우물구조에 기초한 청색, 녹색 반도체 발광다이오드 (LED)는 장수명, 고효율, 친환경이라는 장점 때문에 다양한 응용에 사용되기 시작하고 있다. 이러한 가시광 LED들이 고휘도 조명용 광원으로 사용되기 위하여서는 많은 효율향상이 이루어 져야 한다. 이를 위하여서는 LED의 성능을 나타내는 각종 효율들을 상호 분리하여 측정할 수 있어야 한다. 그러나, 아직 이러한 LED 효율을 상호 분리하여 측정할 수 있는 기술들이 아직 정립되어 있지 않은 관계로, 대부분은 실험적으로 찾아 가는 경험론걱인 방법에 의존하고 있다. 한양대학교에서는 LED의 각종 효율들을 상온에서 상호 분리 측정할 수 있는 기술을 세계에서 처음으로 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 효율분리 측정 기술을 소개하고, 이를 토대로 가시광 LED의 각종 효율들을 증대 시킬 수 있는 방안에 대하여 소개한다. LED의 효율은 주입된 전자 가운데 몇%가 광자로 변환되는가를 나타내는 내부양자효율(IQE)과 활성층에서 생성된 광자 가운데 몇 %가 LED chip 외부로 나오는 가를 나타내는 광추출효율(LEE)에 의하여 정하여 진다. IQE는 주로 결정성장상태에 의하여, LEE는 주로 소자구조에 의하여 정하여 진다. 한편 LED의 광출력 및 신뢰성 향상을 위하여서는 LED 췹내에서의 전류 분포 및 전계분포를 매우 균일 하게 유지하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나, 실제 제작된 LED에서는 공간적인 비대칭으로 인하여 전류가 국부적으로 집중되어 흐르는 현상, 즉 전류집중현상이 발생하게 된다. 본 발표에서는 IQE와 LEE를 순수 실험적으로 분리 측정할 수 있는 방법, 전류집중현상을 측정하고 제어 할 수 있는 방법등을 소개한다.

In recent years, as LED display systems are actively spread, study on effective control methods for an LED driver for driving the systems has been in progress. The most representative among them is the uniform brightness control method for the LED driver channel. In this paper, we propose an LED driver IC for BLU with current compensation and system protection functions to minimize channel luminance deviation. It is designed for current accuracy within ±3% between channels and a channel current of 150 mA. In order to satisfy the design specifications, the channel amplifier offset was canceled out by a chopping operation using a channel-driving PWM signal. Also, a pre-charge function was implemented to minimize the fast operation speed and luminance deviation between channels. LED error (open, short), switch TR short detection, and operating temperature protection circuits were designed to protect the IC and BLU systems. The proposed IC was fabricated using a Magnachip 0.35-um CMOS process and verified using Cadence and Synopsys' Design Tool. The fabricated LED driver IC has current accuracy within ±1.5% between channels and 150-mA channel output characteristics. The error detection circuits were verified by a test board.

Vacuum deposited 4,4',4"-tris(N-(2-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino)-triphenylamine (2-TNATA), used as a hole injection (HIL) material in OLEDs, is placed as a thin interlayer between indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode and a hole transporting layer (HTL) in the devices. C60-doped 2-TNATA:C60 (20 wt%) film was formed via co-evaporation process and molecular ordering and topology of 2-TNATA:C60 films were investigated using XRD and AFM. The J-V, L-V and current efficiency of multi-layered devices were characterized as well. Vacuum-deposited C60 film was molecularly oriented, but neither was 2-TNATA:C60 film due to the uniform dispersion of C60 molecules in the film. By using C60-doped 2-TNATA:C60 film as a HIL, the current density and luminance of a multi-layered ITO/2-TNATA:C60/NPD/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al device were significantly increased and the current efficiency of the device was increased from 4.7 to 6.7 cd/A in the present study.

Vacuum deposited N,N-di-1-naphthyl-N,N-diphenyl-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (NPD) as a hole transporting (HTL) materials in OLEDs was placed on PEDOT-PSS, a hole injection layer (HIL). PEDOT-PSS was spin-coated on to the ITO glass. $C_{60}$-doped NPD-$C_{60}$(10 wt%) film was formed via co-evaporation process and the morphology of NPD-$C_{60}$ films was investigated using XRD and AFM. The J - V, L - V and current efficiency of multi -layered devices were characterized. According to XRD results, the deposited $C_{60}$ thin film was partially crystalline, but NPD-$C_{60}$ film was observed not to be crystalline, which indicates that $C_{60}$ molecules are uniformly dispersed in the NPD film. By using $C_{60}$-doped NPD-$C_{60}$ film as a HTL, the current density and luminance of multi-layered ITO/PEDOT-PSS/NPD-$C_{60}/Alq_3$/LiF/Al device were significantly increased by about 80% and its efficiency was improved by about 25% in this study.

LED(Light Emitting Diode) is used in various filed like a display because of low power consuming, long life span, high brightness, rapid response time and environmental-friendly characteristic. General fabrication method is combination blue light LED chip with yellow fluorescent substance. Because this way is suitable for industry field in terms of convenience, economic, efficiency. In white light LED packaging process, encapsulation process that is dispensing fluorescent substance with silicon to blue light LED chip is most important. So, in this paper we develop EHD pump system using voice coil motor and electrostatic pump for dispensing fluorescent substance. For these things we conduct basic test about liquid surface profiles by voltage and process time. Through this data we decide optimal process condition and verify the optimal condition using design of experiment method. And to confirm uniformity of the condition, we conduct repeat dispensing test.

In this paper, we present a design of PWM-controlled driving device for backlights in LED systems. The system can control either the brightness of the entire screen of backlights of LCD driven by LED or illumination or contrast of each partial segment of the entire screen. The PWM-controlled driving device includes the shift register that shifts the series data according to the clock signal prior to the generation of parallel data. It is also is comprised of a number of registers, a number of counters, a number of comparators, and a number of synchronizing gates (producing the PWM-controlled signals). The proposed device for backlights in LED systems can generate the PWM-controlled signal with a high degree of resolution without the increase of clock frequency. It also contains the PWM-controlled circuit that disperses and restrains the quantized noise.

As we know, topography of korea is composed of many mountains. Also, the volume of traffic is increasing more and more nowadays. So, many tunnels are being constructed to reduce cost of transport and time. Thus, tunnel illumination was considered as the most important thing to make safe traffic conditions. In the past, we installed luminaires on the wall in tunnel, but currently we are installing those on the ceiling. Wherever luminaires are installed on the ceiling, the electric designer may not have known the proper point to install luminaires. Therefore, we researched this project to resolve above problems with abundant experience and accurate data through simulation(Lightscape program). As a result of research, mounting luminaires on the ceiling are better than wall because uniformity is more regular and utilization factor is also higher and then brightness is adequate as well, whereby installation on the ceiling is economical. Therefore, it is suitable that luminaires are installed on the ceiling in tunnel than wall.

The purpose of this study is to derive design guideline for logo design development of smart clothing using flexible plastic optical fiber. In a criterion of guideline derivation for logo design, the first, it is a question of whether it indicates an appropriate degree of brightness across the front of flexible plastic optical fiber. The second, it is a question of whether it indicates relatively an uniform brightness characteristic across the front of flexible plastic optical fiber. For this, the brightness characteristic of flexible plastic optical fiber according to the angle changes and the length of flexible plastic optical fiber was analyzed by the 'Experiment 1'. To deduce guideline for the logo design of the actual garment, the brightness characteristic of flexible plastic optical fiber about the main morpheme of the capital letter of alphabet was analyzed by the 'Experiment 2'. Based on the results of the two experiment, this study derived design guideline and limitations for logo design of smart clothing visualized by the flexible plastic optical fiber.
