최근 기본적인 pin 구조의 박막 cell 에서 i layer를 최적화 시키는 방안으로 double layer 구조가 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ASA(Advanced Semicon ductor Analysis) simulation을 이용하여 i-double layer 최적화에 대한 연구를 진행해 보았다. 두께 150/150nm의 i double layer의 band gap 가변을 한 simulation 결과를 보았을 때, p쪽의 band gap이 상승하면서 intrinsic layer 내의 field가 증가하여 recombination center가 감소하였으나 FF의 감소가 있었다. n쪽의 band gap을 상승 시켰을때 n/i 쪽 field 증가로 Voc가 상승되어 초기 효율이 증가하였으나 intrinsic layer내의 field가 감소하여 recombination center가 오히려 증가하였다. 결과적으로 electric field와 효율을 동시에 고려했을 때 두께 300nm, 1.75의 band gap을 가지는 single layer 보다 150/150nm두께에 1.8/1.7 또는 1.8/1.75의 bandgap을 가지는 double layer를 사용하였을 때 보다 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있었다.

A replica-molding method of fabricating a dual-gap substrate for transflective liquid crystal (LC) displays is demonstrated. The dual-gap substrate provides homeotropic alignment for the LC molecules without any surface treatment and embedded bilevel microstructure on one of the two surfaces to maintain different cell gaps between the transmissive and reflective subpixels. The proposed transflective LC cell shows no electro-optic disparity between two subpixels and reduces the panel thickness and weight by 30% compared to the conventional transflective LC cell, which has two glass substrates.

We proposed a single gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) using a vertically aligned (VA) liquid crystal cell and circular polarizer. The conventional VA transflective LCDs have problems that there required several compensation films and voltage-dependent transmittance and reflectance curves do not match each other. To solve these problems, we used circular polarizer and optimized the condition of insulator thickness in the transmissive part and reflective part. Also, we used the patterned vertical alignment (PVA) mode for wide viewing angle in transmissive part. Consequently, this device realized transflective LCD with a single cell gap and single gamma curve.

We studied about new module technology to solve warpage problems that produce bending of cell in the LCD (Liquid crystal display). Characteristics of cell gap and glass bending of applying heat Panel's PAD part and cell at various temperature was investigated. When applies heat and compresses PAD party only in case of compressing COG(Chip on Glass), uniformity of cell gap that happen by glass bending by temperature of these compressing COG in the PAD party is decreased.

Gap junction protein, connexin, is expressed in endothelial cells of vessels, glomerulus, and renin secreting cells of the kidney. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of gap junction in renin secretion and its underlying mechanisms using As 4.1 cell line, a renin-expressing clonal cell line. Renin release was increased proportionately to incubation time. The specific gap junction inhibitor, 18-beta glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) increased renin release in dose-dependent and time-dependent manners. Heptanol and octanol, gap junction blockers, also increased renin release, which were less potent than GA. GA-stimulated renin release was attenuated by pretreatment of the cells with amiloride, nifedipine, ryanodine, and thapsigargin. GA dose-dependently increased intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration, which was attenuated by nifedipine, nimodipine, ryanodine, and thapsigargin. However, RP-cAMP, chelerythrine, tyrphostin A23, or phenylarsine oxide did not induced any significant change in GA-stimulated increase of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration. These results suggest that gap junction plays an important role on the regulation of renin release and intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in As 4.1 cells.

소르빈산 칼륨은 소르빈산의 일종으로 항세균 및 곰팡이 발육 저지 효과를 갖고 있다. 이러한 성질로 인하여 소르빈산 칼륨은 곰팡이와 진균에 대한 식품 방부제로서 사용되고 있다. 소르빈산 칼륨은 많은 양에 노출되었을 때도 체내에서 수분과 이산화탄소로 분해되는 특성으로 인하여 독성이 없는 것으로 알려져 있다. gap junction을 통한 세포 간 신호 전달(GJIC)는 생체의 성장과 분화에 있어서 조직의 항상성 유지에 본질적인 역할을 하고 있다. 본 연구는 WB-F344 랫드의 정상 간 상피 세포(WB 세포)에서 소르빈산 칼륨을 노출하였을 때 GJIC에 대하여 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 그 결과 소르빈산 칼륨에 노출에 의하여 WB세포의 GJIC가 농도 및 시간 의존적으로 현격하게 감소하는 것을 관찰하였다. 소르빈산 칼륨은 GJIC를 강력하게 억제하며, 이는 WB 세포에서 gap junction을 구성하는 connexin 43의 인산화와 병행하는 것을 확인하였다. 소르빈산 칼륨이 gap junction의 기능을 방해함으로 인해 소르빈산 칼륨에 의한 간독성이 유발될 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문에서 제안한 ac-PDP(Plasma display panel) 셀구조는 Long gap의 전극 사이에 보조 전극을 삽입한 구조이다. 일반적으로, long gap 구조를 가진 PDP cell은 높은 방전 개시 전압을 가지므로, Long gap 전극 사이에 보조전극을 삽입하여 방전 개시 전압을 낮춤과 동시에 휘도 상승, 소비 전력의 감소효과로 발광효율의 향상을 가져왔다. 제안한 구조의 구동을 위하여 asymmetric mode와 long gap mode라는 2가지 파형을 가지고 실험하였다. 두 파형은 공통적으로 기존의 ADS(Address and Display period Separated)파형을 Y(Scan), Z(Common), A(Address) 전극에 인가하였으며, 보조적극에는 Z(Common) 전극의 파형을 수정한 형태로 인가하였다. Asymmetric mode는 보조전극에 Z(Common) 전극에 인가되는 파형과 같은 형태의 파형을 인가하여 Long gap의 구조를 가지지만 Short gap에서 방전이 가능하도록 설계하였고, long gap mode는 보조전극에 인가되는 Z(Common) 파형 중 sustain pulse를 초기 3개만을 주어 Short gap에서 방전을 개시함과 동시에 priming 입자를 생성하고, 나머지 sustain 구간에서는 floating시켜 이미 생성된 priming 입자를 long gap에서 구동을 가능하도록 하였다.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the combined effects of ginkgo biloba extract, ginkgolide A and B and aspirin on SK-N-MC, human neuroblastoma cell viability and mRNA expression of growth associated protein43 (GAP43), Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), B-cell lymphoma2 (Bcl2) and protein53 (p53) gene in hypoxia and reperfusion condition. Methods: SK-N-MC cells were cultured with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) media in $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ incubator. The cells were cultured for 8 hours in non-glucose media and hypoxic condition and for 12 hours in normal media and $O_2$ concentration. Cell survival rate was measured with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) reagent assay. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to estimate mRNA levels of GAP43, MAP2, Bcl2, and p53 genes. Results: The ginkgolide A and B increased viable cell number decreased in hypoxic and reperfused condition. The co-treatment of ginkgolide B with aspirin also increased the number of viable cells, however, there was no additive effect. Although there was no increase of mRNA expression of GAP43, MAP2, and Bcl2 in SK-N-MC cells with individual treatment of ginkgolide A, B or aspirin in hypoxic and reperfused condition, the co-treatment of ginkgolide A or B with aspirin significantly increased GAP43 and Bcl2 mRNA levels. In MAP2, only the co-treatment of ginkgolide A and aspirin showed increasing effect. The mRNA expression of p53 had no change in all treating conditions. Conclusion: This study suggests that the combined treatments of Ginkgo biloba extracts and aspirin increase the regeneration of neuroblastoma cells injured by hypoxia and reperfusion.

We fabricate a single particle-microcapsule type electronic paper using electrophoresis, which is different with a reported dual particle-microcapsule type and of which electro-optical researches are not reported. So we analyzed a basic properties, such as reflectivity, response time, and driving voltage. Our display panels having various cell-gaps of $30{\mu}m$, $34{\mu}m$, $38{\mu}m$, $42{\mu}m$, and $46{\mu}m$ are inspected. As a results, a driving voltage is defined to 10 V and desirable cell-gap is $30{\mu}m$ or $34{\mu}m$. Considering a mechanical strength, the optimum cell-gap is $34{\mu}m$ for the single particle type electronic paper.

In this paper, we propose an in-plane switching (IPS) mode for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) that, in principle, is free of retardation of the LC cell. Basically, the optical configuration of the LC cell consists of an A-plate and an LC layer for switching between the dark and bright states. We could achieve a fast response time compared with the conventional in-plane LC cell because the free retardation condition of the proposed LC cell enables us to reduce the cell gap even by quarter-wave retardation without any change of the optimized LC material in the transmissive mode. Experiments for verification of the proposed in-plane switching LC cells have shown a significant reduction of the rising time and falling time simultaneously due to the small cell gap. Furthermore, we also proposed an optical configuration for wide viewing property of the retardation free IPS LCD by applying the optical films. We proved the wide-view property of the retardation free IPS LCD by comparing its optical luminance with the calculated optical property of the conventional IPS LCD.
