A technique which uses the energy for a long time have been recognized as a important problem in embedded system with restricted battery. Recently the energy consumption is increased by using a large size of TFT-LCD and touch screen in embedded system. In this paper, we studied the frame buffer monitoring which can be reduced an energy consumption in GUI. The frame buffer monitoring technique is the energy degrade plan which adjusts Refresh-rate and Backlight. The technique must guarantee the quality of screen.

The effect of the M-window color mixing bar on the characteristics of color mixing and hot spots in the edge-lit backlight employing red (R), green (G), blue (G) light emitting diodes (LED) were studied in terms of the structure of the M-window color mixing bar. The rays from RGB LEDs entering the M-window bar were mixed by internal reflection and scattering inside the M-window bar so that the hot spots and color separation were minimized. The M-window bar was designed and fabricated and the simulation results are matched quite well to experimental data.

The optical performances of rounded prism films were investigated using a ray tracing technique. The angular distribution of the luminous intensity was obtained as functions of the prism pitch and the curvature of rounded apex and valley of prism arrays. The gain of the on-axis luminance decreased with decreasing curvature (increasing diameter) and pitch. The existence of the curved area on the prism film decreased the recycling efficiency of the prism film, i.e., the rays which would otherwise have been recycled through total internal reflections via the prism surfaces were refracted on the curved regions and redirected toward directions other than the on-axis direction. Quantitative correlation between the luminance gain and the curvature in addition to the prism pitch was obtained, which might serve as basic data for the optimization of prism films and the manufacturing processes.

Local dimming driving has advantages in reducing power consumption and improving contrast ratio(CR). In an LED backlight unit(BLU), many small LED blocks are implemented in 2-dimmensional space, and luminance of the blocks is controlled by a local dimming algorithm. However, such a BLU can induce various recognizable artifacts. A new novel algorithm is proposed for exact block luminance calculation to correct local dimming artifacts. Also we discuss modified low-gray-level dimming to achieve much aggressive power saving in a local dimming BLU system.

Dynamic range of LCD panel can be dramatically improved by adaptive dimming technique. Adaptive control of LED backlight by input signal can reduce the light leakage of LCD panel and achieve high contrast ratio. An algorithm is proposed to distinguish the input signal and get proper luminance level. For lower cost of LCD panel, white light LED is used to accomplish 2D dimming and get better image performance of LCD.

We considered most general electron emission caused by temperature as well as electric field with a free electron gas model. The total electron emission current density comes from field emission effect where electron energy is lower than vacuum and from thermionic emission effect where electron energy is higher than vacuum. The total electron emission current density is shown as a function of temperature for constant electric field, and as a function of electric field for constant temperature.

Dynamic Driving Carbon Nanotube Backlight Units (CNT-BLUs) can well utilize the persistence of their phosphor. This paper studies several dynamic driving schemes for the CNT-BLU developed by DTC/ITRI. Their illuminating efficiencies are experimentally evaluated. From these evaluations, this paper develops a new driving approach and even better efficiencies are obtained.

We developed a new configuration of polarized light out-coupling lightguide plate (LGP) in the LCD backlight. By collimating the light into the LGP, one linear polarization component experienced total internal reflection at the planar interface of LGP and anisotropic layer, whereas the orthogonal polarization was out-coupled in the normal direction through a birefringent layer and subsequent isotropic microstructures.

Optical performances of micro-pyramid arrays were simulated by ray tracing technique for the application of backlight unit of LCD. The angular distribution of the luminance and the on-axis luminance gain depended on the apex angle, the refractive index, and the density of micro-pyramids. The on-axis luminance reached a maximum when the apex angle was $90^{\circ}$. It also increased as the density and the refractive index of micro-pyramids increased. The present result showed that highly-efficient optical sheet might become realized by adopting micropyramid array and corresponding development of manufacturing processes.
