LCD backlight boosting and the integration of boosting and dimming are proposed based on image analysis to maximize perceptual image qualities and to reduce display system power. Based on the histogram of the image data, methods for selecting an image suitable for boosting and for adjusting the optimum backlight brightness are proposed. A comprehensive combined optimization method of LCD backlight boosting, dimming and bypass based on image characteristics is also described. Perceptual image quality enhancement and power consumption are evaluated based on well known image databases. Average subjective image quality is improved by 24.8%, RMS contrast is improved more than 20%, and average power consumption is reduced by 15.94% compared to conventional uniform boosting.

본 논문은 고휘도 직하방식의 Backlight Unit을 광학 Simulation을 이용하여 설계 및 제작하였다. 직하방식의 Backlight는 휘도 균일도에 많은 문제점을 보이고 있으나 본 논문에서는 18"Backlight를 휘도 균일도 90%의 고휘도, 높은 휘도균일도의 Backlight Unit을 설계하였다. 특히 본 논문에서는 12개의 램프를 한 개의 인버터로 구동함으로써, Backlight Unit의 광 효율 향상과 제작 단가의 저하를 동시에 얻을 수 있다.

This paper presents the design scheme of transformer for backlight inverter and discuss the characteristics related to its design, including driving inverter. A few studies have so far been made at design and characteristics analysis of transformer. Therefore, this paper manages the presentation of the advisable design methodology of transformer for backlight inverter supplying CCFL. To verify the proposed method, this paper accomplishes the analysis by FEM coupled with circuit and finally shows that the proposed design method is very useful.

LED는 소비전력이 적고, 수명이 길어 LCD Backlight 용 광원으로 주목받고 있다. 현재 휴대전화기용 LCD에 많이 사용되고 있는 소형 LED Backlight의 경우 입광부에 LED의 개수가 육안으로 확인 가능할 정도의 Hot Spot이 존재한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 Reflector를 사용하여 광의 손실을 줄이고 도광판의 입광부에 산란 패턴을 설계하여 적용함으로써 도광판 입광부에서 122.7%의 휘도 상승효과와 73.4%의 휘도 균일도를 얻을 수 있었으며 이로 인해 Hot Spot을 감소시킬 수 있었다.

The large size and high brightness backlight system for LCD panel inspection equipment was designed, fabricated, and evaluated. The cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) instead of the hot cathode fluorescent lamp (HCFL) were used as the light source. The inverters for driving multi-lamp CCFL backlight systems were also designed and fabricated. The measured luminance of the fabricated CCFL backlight system was 20,000 cd/$m^2$ and the uniformity of the backlight was 85%. The fabricated backlight system was successfully applied to the LCD panel inspection equipment.

Recently, LED(Light Emitting Diode) TV has attracted greate attention due to its super-slim form factore as well as low power consumption. LED TV is actually an LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) TV in which edge-lit LED backlight is adopted. In the presente study, we report on the comparison of optical characteristics 55-inch edge-lit LED backlight and CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lam)backlight. The angular distribution of the luminance and the on-axis luminance gain on each optical component were investigated and compared. The effect of the backlight structure on the performance of the optical films was studied and discussed.

Color dimming technology has been developed for high color gamut and aggressive power saving. In our new algorithm, we proposed a new concept of 'color class', with which it is possible to control RGB color luminance effectively and exactly. We reached color gamut of 155% of NTSC 1976 and reduced power consumption under 100 watt for 46 inch LCD.

Cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) has been used as a light source for direct type backlights for LCD monitors or TV. One inverter for one CCFL was necessary for maintaining the lamp current so that many inverters were used to drive as many CCFLs of direct type backlight for LCD TV. An inverter for driving 16 CCFLs was developed to reduce the backlight cost. The length and diameter of CCFL were 450mm and 4mm, respectively. Backlight including 16 CCFLs for 26" LCD TV was assembled by using one inverter. The uniformities of the assembled backlight operated by the conventional inverter and the newly developed inverter were 75% and 88%, respectively.

A highly simplified backlight unit mainly composed of diffractive grating in sub-micron order imprinted light-guide plate (LGP) is proposed for edge-lit backlight unit. Optical characteristics of the imprinted LGP are examined by RCWA and the performance is verified through Monte Carlo simulation. Results show that the diffraction efficiency, luminous flux and its uniformity over the area are significantly affected by the angle of incident ray. Consequently couples of design considerations are additionally proposed to enhance luminous flux. In terms of peak luminance and out-coupling luminous flux, the experimental results are agreed well with the performance simulation. Finally, compared with optical characteristics of conventional backlight unit, we could conclude that the proposed simplified backlight unit made of diffractive grating imprinted light-guide plate is a good substitute for the conventional backlight unit.
