In many applications for display with LED, the thermal behavior of LED is most important issue in view of thermal management. The optical requirements of the displays for various applications make the designer to drive the LED at or over their on-design condition to achieve performances requested by users. In practical cases of large-sized TV with LED back light unit (BLU), the problem of increasing LED temperature can affect the reliability of LED itself and the optical performances of BLU as an assembly of LED. In this paper, the thermal management design of LED back light unit(BLU) for large-sized TV was performed

In comparison with CCFL, LED can have more various colours. The research into BLU to raise colour reproducibility is actively proceeding by using RGB LED. On this study, Direct BLU was designed by white LED and RGB LED. According to the result of the experiment, the colour uniformity degree of BLU model using white LED is better than RGB LED BLU. On the other hand, the colour reproducibility of RGB LED BLU is better than white LED. The research showed that the uniformity of white LED is 81.7%and RGB LED is 70.01%.

A flexible back-light unit (FBLU) is fabricated by embedding plasma discharge clusters in a flexible polymer matrix. The brightness uniformity of an FBLU was measured for various combinations of optical sheets and compared with the simulated results for various bending angles. A gap between light sources causes distinctive integrated brightness curves which have two inflection points depending on bending angle. The brightness distribution of a simulated BLU was in good agreement with that of an actual plasma BLU except for a dark area that appeared at the center of the simulated BLU. The real and simulated BLUs both clearly showed an angle dependency caused by mirror images located between point light sources. On the basis of these results, it is suggested that these mirror-like images could be a major factor in determining the characteristics of FBLUs.

A new PLF-BLU (Plastic Light Fiber-Back Light Unit) using side glowing light fiber rods array for the 42" LCD TV display has been evelopedd. The light fibers were 14mm in diameter and 50cm long pure transparent acrylic rods of 1.49 refractive index. Fine seratees were made on the flat side of rod. extremely bright incandscent light from lamp fed into the fiber si scattered at scratches then emerges through the surface of rod. A typical PLF-BLU system consists of 24 PLFs produced side glow of brightness of 4,500cd/㎡ to 6,500cd/㎡. New PLF-BLU is proved to be a BLU of rigid, bright, no heat generation, and low power consumption, hence a prospective BLU system for very and/or ultra large size TVs. A new LED-PLF-BLU system considered to be a revolutionary to break-through of the BLU technologies has also been developed, and is decribed briefly.

The light guide plate (LGP) of LCD-BLU (Liquid Crystal Display-Back Light Unit) is usually manufactured by forming numerous dots by etching process. However, the surface of those etched dots of LGP is very rough due to the characteristics of etching process, so that its light loss is relatively high due to the dispersion of light. Accordingly, there is a limit in raising the luminance of LCD-BLU. In order to overcome the limit of current etched-dot patterned LGP, micro-lens pattern was tested to investigate the possibility of replacing etched pattern in the present study. The micro-lens pattern fabricated by the modified LiGA with thermal reflow process was applied to the optical design of LGP. The attention was paid to the effects of different optical pattern type (i.e. etched dot, micro-lens). Finally, the micro-lens patterned LGP showed better optical qualities than the one made by the etched-dot patterned LGP in luminance.

LED TV 통합검사유닛은 LED BLU의 구동과 동시에 이상 유무 체크, AGING 작업 등 LED BLU를 테스트하기 위한 검사 장비이다. 기존 검사 유닛은 LCD의 종류와 크기에 따라 생산라인에서 검사 유닛을 교체해야 하는 불편한 점이 있어 본 연구에서는 한 가지 LED TV BLU 모델이 아닌 32 ~ 52인치의 다양한 LED TV BLU 모델을 수용할 수 있는 멀티형(통합형) 검사유닛으로 개발한다. 멀티형으로 개발하기 위해서 멀티 LED TV 통합검사유닛의 출력 전류를 80mA ~ 215mA의 범위로 다양한 출력이 되도록 만들고, LED BLU의 상태를 확인 하는 기능, 디밍(밝기 조절)기능 및 장시간 사용 시 열 발생 완화 기능 등을 구현한다. 또한 펌웨어 프로그램을 개발하고 업그레이드 할 수 있도록 하여 새로운 패널에 대해서도 지원할 수 있도록 개발한다.

Among many kinds of parts for Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a Back Light Unit (BLU) that changes the path of the light from light source to screen is the most important part to improve optical performances such as uniformity and average value of brightness. Up to recently, design process of BLU has been carried out by depending on the experience of design engineer. Using this approach, however, is proven that it is hard to effectively deal with difficulties in a process of the LCD development such as frequent design modifications, various design requirements, and short-term development. To cope with this situation, we applied a Process Integration and Design Optimization (PIDO) based design environment. PIDO is a software package to integrate multiple simulation processes and find a better solution using various design techniques. In this research, we found a design solution satisfying all design requirements by using the PIDO.
