LCD panel need BLU(Back Light Unit) that is outside source of light because can not emit light voluntarily. BLU is used in LCD module and is used in tester that examine LCD panel's badness. Lately, BLU had changed from CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) to LED(Light-Emitting Diode) fast. CCFL need extra-high tension power and produce much heat and is difficult to keep fixed brightness. LED is few electric power wastage and keeps fixed brightness. But, BLU that is used to detector that examine the LCD module is using CCFL until recently. This paper develops LED BLU that can examine LCD panel's badness. Also, this manufactures LED BLU to 24 inch size to examine all LCD panels(12~24 inch), and develops so that LED BLU may operate according to LCD panel's size.

CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp)for BLU of LCD and special lighting has been widely utilized. The removal of oxide film formed on electrode of CCFL in manufacturing process is required. In this pape Plasma treatment was carried out to remove the oxide film. To ensure the optimum process, the analysis of sheet resistance, XRD, AFM and solder test was conducted. A minimum sheet resistance and the maximum percentage of the solder coverage ratio were measured in optimal process conditions such as plasma power consumption 600W and processing time of 70 seconds. As the plasma treatment is confirmed to be due to removal of copper oxide, this process is expected to be used as a treatment of electrode for CCFL.

The time dependences of the luminance properties of 55-inch CCFL and LED backlights and 32-inch FFL backlights with LCD panels were investigated during the warm-up time from the cold start. The long-term luminance maintenance curve of a standard CCFL was examined in a time window up to 5000 hours. These two time dependences are important characteristics from the viewpoint of initial picture quality and lifetime reliability, respectively. Empirical equations were suggested for the analysis of the time dependence of these luminance data. These approaches are expected to be helpful in predicting the luminance properties of backlights based on the luminance data obtained in a limited time window.

At present, Characteristic of high color reproduction for LCD products needed in Display market. Therefore, The improving methods of high color reproduction are alteration of color Filter or Red, Green, Blue phosphor alteration of CCFL. But High color reproduction phosphor is short life time as compared with conventional phosphor. In this experiment, by using split the Red, Green, Blue CCFL with high color reproduction phosphor instead of conventional high color reproduction CCFL. We knew that the high color reproduction RGB split CCFL BLU has same spectrum data and chromaticity, but has long life time as manufacturing RGB split CCFL and reduce chromaticity shift following long time discharge as compared with conventional high color reproduction CCFL.

As the portable information appliance is developed, the demand of flat panel display equipments and parts are steeply increased. Most of all, the applications of LCD such as LCD TV, monitor, digital camera, CNS(car navigation system) and game machine become diversified. With the result that the number of BLU production enterprise is increased and the research on the design of backlight with the superior optical properties is persistently in progress. In this study we developed the pattern design tools for CCFL(cold cathode flourescent lamp) backlight to improve the conventional pattern design environment in which the pattern is designed manually from the experience and the trial and error. For the verification of our research, we designed the light reflection surface patterns for a real model of backlight and we measured the brightness uniformity using the BM-7. From the brightness uniformity measurement, the BLU designed using the presented tool showed the tolerable performance only in the first try of pattern design rather than the fifth try of pattern design in case of the conventional pattern design.

A kind of fluorescent lamps CCFL(Cold Cathod Fluorescent Lamp) is used for backlight of LCD and the demand of backlight for TV is getting more. CCFL is also used in a backlight for TFT-LCD panel. BLU(Backlight Unit) has lots of components so it looks a electrical product. As the size of LCD display is larger with increasing of the demand, to drive CCFL inverter is more important. Therefore, a sort of modeling to drive 4 lamps with a transformer is used and we have a simulation test with proposed modeling so we can take some data from the test. The utility of the proposed modeling is verified through using for 30-inch LCD backlight with the data.

Characterization of the microweld CCFL electrode for the TFT-LCD backlight unit was carried out in terms of the glass beading heat treatment conditions. We evaluate the weld zone and parent metal of the microweld CCFL electrodes that were exposed to simulated glass beading heat treatment. The CCFL electrode was composed of the cup made with pure Ni, the pin made with pure Mo and the lead wire made with Ni-Mn alloy. Each part of the electrode was assembled together by micro spot welding process and then the assembled electrodes were exposed to simulated glass beading temperatures of $700^{\circ}C,\;750^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$. The microstructures of the microweld CCFL electrode were observed by using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and EDS. Micro-tensile and microhardness test were also carried out. The results indicated that the grain coarsening in the HAZs(heat affected zones) for both the cup-pin weld and pin-lead wire were exhibited and the grain coarsening of the HAZ for the cup and the lead wire was more obvious than the HAZ of the pin. The micro-tensile test revealed that the fracture occurred at the cup-pin weld zone for all test conditions. The fracture surface could be classified into two parts such as pin portion and cup portion including weld nugget. The failure was seemed to be initiated from the boundary between nugget and pin through the weld joint. The result of the microhardness measurement exhibited that the relatively low hardness value, about 105HV was recorded at the HAZ of the cup. This value was about 50% less than that of the original value of the cup. The reduction of the microhardness was considered as the cause of the grain coarsening due to welding process. It was also appeared that there was no change in electric resistance for the standard electrodes and heat treated electrodes.

최근, LCD-TV의 대형화가 경쟁적으로 진행되고 있으며 대형 BLU를 제작하기 위해서는 백라이트의 직경을 대구경 화하고, 또한 고화질을 이루기 위하여 휘도특성을 개선시켜야 한다. 통상적으로 백라이트에 사용되는 고압방전은 환경이 증가할수록 휘도가 저하하는 특성을 나타내므로 대화면 LCD-TV를 개발하는데 문제점을 갖고 있다. 또한, LCD-TV 백라이트로 가장 많이 사용하는 CCFL은 병렬로 구동할 수 없어 다수의 트랜스포머가 필요하여 전체적인 BLU가격을 상승시키는 요인이 되고 있어 병렬구동이 가능한 EEFL을 백라이트로 사용하고자 하는 노력이 진행되고 있으나 CCFL에 비하여 휘도가 낮아 사용이 제한되고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 고휘도의 병력구동이 가능한 새로운 EEFL을 개발하였으며, 그 특성을 분석한 결과 기존 EEFL에 비하여 40%이상의 광효율을 증가시키고, 대구경에서 CCFL보다 2배 기존의 EEFL에 비하여 3배 이상의 휘도를 증가시킬 수 있으며, 동시에 병렬구동이 가능한 고휘도 외부전극램프를 개발하였다.
