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.

Temperature Compensation Method of Local Dimming LED Backlight System is proposed. The luminance levels of the LED backlight are not stable over temperature and time due to the inherent characteristics of the LED. The characteristics of LED backlight are investigated and a temperature compensation method is presented. The image distortion caused by temperature variation of LED block can be effectively compensated by the proposed temperature compensation method.

본 연구에서는 최근 의료용으로 많이 사용되고 있는 고휘도, 고균일도의 직하광원구조를 가지는 백라이트 유닛에 대한 설계 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 직하형 백라이트 시스템은 기존의 Edge-Lighr 방식에 비해서 고휘도 및 고균일도를 달성할 수 있어 의료용 판독이 요구되는 고품질의 디스플레이에 사용되고 있으며, 흑백이미지를 바탕으로 진단을 실시하는 경우가 많기 때문에 휘도 및 휘도 균일도에 대한 높은 성능이 요구되는 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 복수 개의 램프를 수평으로 배열한 경우에 각 램프간의 거리 및 반사판과의 거리, 상측 확산판과의 거리에 대한 최적설계를 실시하고, 이 결과를 바탕으로 실물과 유사한 조건에서 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, Parameter 에 의존하는 변수를 최적화 할 수 있었으며, 4.5mm 의 램프와 반사판 거리 및 26mm 의 램프간 거리를 바탕으로 16개의 램프를 배치하여, 32인치 크기의 화면에서 6423nit 의 중심휘도를 갖는 고품위의 우수한 광원의 설계가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

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.

The LCD backlight technique using light-emitting diode(LED) has been studied in the recent backlight market. The white light is need for LCD backlight and it is generally implemented by combining the RGB-LEDs to obtain the high brightness. However, RGB-LEDs have different color characteristics for the current and temperature variations, which results in the color shift problem. The color shift characteristics of RGB-LEDs for the current and temperature variations are investigated in this paper. This result can be used to control the color of backlight system using RGB-LEDs.

The photo leakage currents of a conventional hydrogenated amorphous silicon(a-Si:H) thin film transistor(TFT) were investigated and analyzed in the case of illumination from various lightsources such as halogen lamp, cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL) backlight, and white light emitting diode(LED) backlight The photo leakage characteristics showed the apparent differences in the leakage level and in the $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratio in spite of the similar luminances of light sources. This leakage level is expected to be related to the wavelength of the lowest intensity peak from spectral analysis of light sources.

In this study, it was investigated about the variation of luminance properties in LED backlight with geometrical shape such as prism or lens shape on the light-entering face. Generally, LED light source has the loss in backlight system because it has horizontal direction light. PMMA(Poly-Methyl-Meta-Acrylate) is used LGP(Light-Guide-Plate) in conventional backlight system. PMMA has low refraction angle. so that. horizontal direction light was not used in backlight system. The addition of geometrical shape in light-entering face in LGP improves the luminance characteristics because it prevents horizontal direction light generation in light-entering-face. Prism or lens shape in same pitch disposition was almost same without these treatment such as the value of 1% rising. Besides. It is particular that the gap of these shape such as the value of 0.407~0.22mm prevents horizontal direction light, so then it contributes luminance rising at 5.6%.

This paper presents a high efficiency half-bridge DC-DC converter for an LED backlight drive system of LCD module inspection equipment. The proposed converter improves the converter efficiency using characteristics of the asymmetrical half-bridge converter and the self-driven synchronous rectifier, and thus improves the total efficiency of the LED backlight drive system. The synchronous rectifier applied to the proposed converter is the new topological synchronous rectifier, which changes slightly the transformer structure and the synchronous switch connection in the asymmetrical half-bridge converter with a conventional self-driven synchronous rectifier. Since the proposed converter utilizes the transformer leakage inductor as its resonant inductor, its structure is simplified. The proposed converter well operates under the universal DC input voltage ($250{\sim}380V$). The operational principle and a design example for a 100W prototype are discussed in detail, respectively. Experimental results are shown for the designed prototype converter under universal DC input voltage.
