All display devices require more wider, higher resolution and precision owing to advanced display technology. As the display pannels become wider, BLU also become wider and brighter. The upper glass of the BLU must achieve the constant of its shape and thickness and have uniform brightness. These deformity cause the display quality to make less. Thus high performance of the BLU shape's height and thickness measurement is inevitable. The high speed and precision measurement system will be proposed. To minimize the measurement error we can achieve the desirous results by 2 dividing intervals with different moving velocity on measuring.

In this paper, it was attempted to analyze the optimal design of light emitting diode (LED), a source of back light unit (BLU). LED is beginning with commercialized red LED which is made by GaAsP compound semiconductor, and has been developed focusing on liquid crystal panel. In order to get the optimal design, optical simulation was made by analyzing luminosity shape, reflector angle, chip depth, and chip position of LED lighting. Final results show that the proposed LED characteristics were useful to increase light efficiency and it has been proven by distribution chart for actual exposed light on the light guide panel (LGP).

We have designed high performance prism light-guide plate (LGP) in 17 inch TFT-LCD. In test result to embody high brightness BLU in case of LGP of base and upper surface with 17 inch, thickness 8mm adding prism construct. Using optical simulation, we forecast the brightness and uniformity in LGP with prism structure. And we adopted novel injection mold method and Nickel stamper to make actual evolution sample. Novel injection mold process has steady heating time zone in heat cycle time of injection mold process. For this novel heat cycle control, we achieved above 90[%] height prism structure as our design. It is superior brightness improvement than previous that of printing form about some 20[%] and in this course to embody actual material it succeeded prism LGP production by 17 inch injection form process.

LED BLU(Back Light Unit), based on MCPCB(Metal Core Printed Circuit Board) with anodizing oxide dielectric layer and improved thermal dissipation property, are presented. Reflecting cups were also formed on the surface of the MCPCB such that optical coupling between neighboring chips were minimized for improving the photon extraction efficiency. LED chips were directly attached on the MCPCB by using the COB (Chip On Board) scheme.

In this paper, we analyze the efficiency of light sources of CCFL and LED monitors. Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL), which is widely used as a light source for LCD display, supplies a high voltage of 1,200[V] or more when it is initially driven. In addition, a constant normal voltage of 400 ~ 800[V] after lighting, and 3 ~ 6[ mA] is needed for a power circuit that can stabilize the current. Applying a high voltage causes a lot of stress on the inverter and generates a lot of heat in the cold cathode lamp, causing significant damage to the BLU (Back Light Unit), resulting in a burning phenomenon, which causes the screen to output normal colors when outputting the screen. We can not see the yellow output and the screen darkened. Therefore, in order to prevent such a symptom in advance, efficiency can be increased by using a Light Emitting Diode (LED) as the light source of the LCD display instead of a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL). As a result, it is shown that the LED method outperforms the CCFL method.

The backlight unit(BLU) is used as a light source of TFT liquid-crystalline-display (TFT-LCD) module. In this backlight unit, one of important components is the light guide, which is usually made of transparent polymers. Currently the screen-printing method is mainly used for the light guide as a manufacturing process. However, it has limitation to the flexibility of three-dimensional optical design. In the present paper a new alternative manufacturing method for the light guide with low-cost is proposed. This manufacturing method is named as direct surface forming (DSF), which is very similar to the well-known hot embossing except for partial contact between mold and substrate. The results of this new manufacturing method are presented in terms of processing condition, dimensional accuracy, productivity, etc.

In a head-mounted display (HMD) for virtual-reality applications, a narrow viewing angle is preferred to the usual, wide viewing angle because the HMD is positioned close in front of the user's eyes, and the display position is fixed. In this paper, we propose a new back-light unit (BLU) for implementing a narrow viewing angle, which is suitable for a HMD. By optimizing the scattering patterns in the light-guide-plate and inverse-prism structures, the viewing angle and correlations between structural parameters in the BLU components are analyzed with ray-tracing simulations. As a result, a double-angle inverse-prism structure incorporating the scattering patterns of a light-guide plate is chosen, which results in a 14% increase in center luminance, a 16% decrease in the vertical viewing angle, and a light efficiency of up to 70%, compared to a conventional BLU. Thus, the new BLU system is expected to be applied in a high-efficiency liquid crystal display.
