In this paper, we studied a flat fluorescent lamp with high luminance for LCD backlighting. The lamps have simple structures with ITO glass, insulator layer, phosphor layer, electrode layer and gas gap. The firing voltage was decreased with increasing the frequency. It was considered that this tendency was resulted from the space charge effect due to Xe and Ar positive ions trapped in gas gap. Decrease of uniform voltage at higher drive frequency is due to the remaining space charges which are produced by preceding period. As a result, luminance of 2700[cd/m$^2$] and maximum luminous efficiency of 51[m/W] were obtained with luminance uniformity of 96[%] in operation(700[V$\_$rms/], 80[kHz].

LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)는 표시장치로 실용화된 후 많은 상품에 적용되고 있다 그러나 LCD는 자체 발광 능력이 없으므로 그 후면에서 LCD 화면을 밝혀주는 BLU(Backlight Unit)를 필요로 한다. BLU는 내부 광원으로 밝기가 균일한 평면광을 만들어 LCD 화면을 균일하게 면조사하는 역할을 한다. LCD의 표시 품질을 향상시키기 위해, 균일한 평면광을 만들어내는 BLU를 제작하기 위한 다양한 방법이 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 BLU를 제작하는 툴(Tool)과 제작린 BLU가 생성하는 평면광의 휘도 분포를 예측하는 시뮬레이터를 제안함으로써 BLU 개발에 소요되는 시간 및 비용을 단축할 수 있도록 한다.

Parallel combination of cold chathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) are widely used as the light sources of LCD TV backlight. Brightness uniformity is safisfied by using one transformer per one CCFL. Instead of using one transformer per oneCCFL, one transformer is used to drive 8 CCFLs by using differential driving method. A differential driving inverter with two transformers is developed to drive 16 CCFLs of 26' backlight for LCD TV. The brightness uniformity of $88\%$ was obtained by driving 26' backlight with the developed differential driving inverter successfully.

The polycarbonate (PC)-based optical diffusers for direct-lit LED backlight unit were prepared by using extrusion compounding followed by compression molding process. The application of inorganic porous silica particles as a diffusing agent in addition to conventional poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) beads was attempted, and the optical, thermal, and mechanical properties of the prepared diffusers were investigated. The morphological observations revealed that the diffusing agents could be uniformly dispersed in the PC matrix without agglomeration by high shear stress generated during extrusion process. The incorporation of the porous silica particles mixed with PMMA beads remarkably enhanced the luminance uniformity with respect to both location and view angle for the diffuser, while minimizing the reduction in the absolute luminance, as compared with the diffuser containing only PMMA beads. In addition, thermal and mechanical properties of the diffusers were shown to be improved upon addition of the porous silica particles.

기존의 비상구 표시등은 20-30(W) 정도의 많은 전력 소모와 2천시간 정도의 짧은 램프 수명 등으로 인해 전기에너지의 소모가 많으며, 부피가 커 시공 및 설치가 어렵다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 도광판을 사용한 비상등의 개발에 관하여 연구하기 위하여 가시광선 투과율이 94%이상으로 높고 가공이 용이한 투명 PMMA(Poly Methyl Meth Acrylate)판에 광반사면을 광학적 시뮬레이션에 의해 설계된 V자형 홈선을 가공하여 비상등의 도광판으로 사용한다. 이 구조는 기존의 비상등에 비해 광이용 효율이 높고, 설계의 자유도가 높아질 것으로 기대된다. 또한, CCFT(Cold Cathode Fluorecent Tube) 램프, 광확산필름, 프리즘필름, 몰드프레임 등을 이용하여 광이용 효율을 극대화하는 구조를 고안하고, 인버터 구동을 위한 주변회로 시스템을 개발하여 초절전형 평판 비상등 시스템의 양산 기술을 확보함을 목적으로 한다. 이로부터 휘도 2000cd/$m^2$, 휘도균일도 90%이상의 특성과 기존의 비상등 대비 전기 에너지 50%이상이 절감 가능한 비상등이 개발될 수 있다.

기존의 3${\sim}$4mm 간격을 가진 냉음극 형광램프(CCFL)나 외부전극형광램프(EEFL)는 휘도의 균일성과 응답속도가 열등하기 때문에 42인치보다 큰 크기를 가지는 LCD TV에 적합하지 않다. 그래서 대면적 BLU(backlight unit)에 적합한 평면형광램프(FFL)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 FFL의 발광 효율을 향샹시키기 위하여, 가스 혼합비를 변화시키면서, 2차원 유체코드를 이용한 수치해석을 통하여 방전효율에 영향을 미치는 요소가 Hg임을 확인 하였다.

Discomfort Glare from the artificial light sources is an important issue in assessment of lighting quality for healthy buildings. Glare, as a factor of the characteristics of brightness, which has been defined as the sensation produced by contrast and luminance within an entire field view, unfavorably influences the occupants who performs visual tasks. It may cause annoyance and discomfort by interruption of visibility. In the whole visual field, glare can be determined by effects of the position, the luminance and the size of the light source and brightness of the surroundings. Therefore, experimental equipment is required to maintain a constant visual lighting environment. Recent studies have been developed and used the instrument for glare sensation evaluation but the instruments showed some difficulties to verify the correlation of glare indicators. The instrument have been developed with reference to former studies. It is called the Glare Tester. This is consist of 2[m]-diameter vertical dome screen painted with white flat paint, and light sources installed inside the screen. These light sources can provide various range of brightness at any inner surface of the screen. 2 Glare light sources can provide the value of luminance within the range of $0{\sim}150,000[cd/m^2]$. Moreover, 12 light sources are used for background luminance and it can perform the value of luminance within the range of $0{\sim}350[cd/m^2]$. Several experiments have been conducted using this Glare Tester to evaluate the range of the visibility, the values of BCD and the glare sensation in lower and upper visual field.

The LED backlight can be designed to have the desired uniformity by using many combination of reflector patterns. The uniformity of the LED backlight can improve by applying the specially designed reflector patterns. In this paper, it was shown that the 72.7% of luminance uniformity of the LED backlight with reflector patterns was obtained by computer simulation.

A light guided plate coupled with the micro Fresnel lens array(MFTA) is designed to improve the efficiency of the LCD backlight unit. Blazed Frenel lens and binary multi-level Fresnel lens are adapted for the MFLA. This type of MFLA can replace the prism sheet and diffuser sheet which are used for the conventional type of the LCD backlight unit. The luminance and uniformity are calculated to verify the performance of the MFLA type LCD backlight unit.
