In this study, we proposed an optical compensation method to improve the symmetricity of contrast ratio for wide viewing angle IPS (in-plane switching) LCD. First, the phase retardation depending on the thickness of compensation film is calculated, and then the phase change is presented at the $Poincar{\acute{e}}$ sphere. The phase retardation and the polarization state of the light passing through the optical elements are caculated by using the EJMM (extended Jones matrix method). In addition, the transmittance and the contrast countour are also calculated by using the Berremann's $4{\times}4$ matrix method. The simulation is carried out for a IPS LC cell with positive A/C/A compensation film. From the standard deviation of the contrast ratio, we confirmed the symmetricity at each viewing angle is inversely proportional to the standard deviation and calculated the optimum design condition of the uniaxial compensation film for the IPS LCD.

We have developed a high performance vertical alignment TFT-LCD, that shows a high light transmittance, and wide viewing angle characteristics with an unusually high contrast ratio. In order to optimize the electro-optical properties we have studied the effect of cell parameters, multi-domain structure and retardation film compensation. With the optimized cell parameters and process conditions, we have achieved a 24" wide UXGA TFT-LCD monitor (16:10 aspect ratio 1920X1200) showing a contrast ratio over 500:1, panel transmittance near 4.5%, response time near 27 ms, and viewing angle higher than 80 degree in all directions.

In this paper, an image enhancement method by saturation and contrast improvement is proposed. Histogram equalization with color difference makes higher contrast. By generating saturation amplification ratio with color difference, the saturation improves effectively. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has higher contrast and more natural - look than the conventional methods.

본 연구에서는 일반촬영에서 자동노출제어장치를 이용하여 검사할 때 체내에 잔존하는 CT 조영제와 MRI 조영제가 면적선량에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 복부 두께의 파라핀 팬텀 중앙에 사각형의 홀을 만든 후 CT 조영제, MRI 조영제를 각각 식염수 대 조영제 희석 비율, 10:0, 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, 5:5, 4:6, 3:7, 2:8, 1:9, 0:10 %의 비율로 희석하였다. 각 실험은 KUB 촬영의 적정 조건인 78kVp, 320mA로 설정 후 자동노출제어장치를 이용하여 희석 비율 당 총 30회씩의 검사를 하였고, 각 조영제의 희석 비율에 따른 면적선량, 노출지수에 대해 평균 비교와 상관분석을 하였다. 그 결과, CT 조영제와 MRI 조영제는 희석 비율에 따라 면적선량이 다르게 나타났고(p<0.05), 희석 비율이 증가함에 따라 CT 조영제와 MRI 조영제는 면적선량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 각 검사에서 노출지수는 제조사 권고 사항인 200-800 EI값을 나타냈으며, 노출지수와 면적선량은 면적선량이 증가할수록 노출지수도 증가하였다(p<0.05). 결론적으로 CT 조영제와 MRI 조영제는 모두 자동노출제어장치를 사용하는 일반촬영 검사에서 면적선량을 증가시키는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 CT와 MRI 검사에서 조영제를 사용한 후 일반촬영 검사를 할 때에는 조영제가 충분히 배설된 후 시행하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

This paper describes a new S-PVA cell structure which achieves enhanced contrast ratio by adopting a step-like patterned common electrode between the high sub-pixel and low sub-pixel electrodes without loss of transmittance. A 24-inch panel was developed for monitor applications and measured contrast ratio and white luminance were over 2500:1 and 400cd/m2, respectively.

Hyundai LCD Inc. and LUXELL Technologies Inc. have jointly developed a 1.5" passive matrix full color OLED display ($132{\times}RGB{\times}96$, 111ppi) with characteristics of enhanced contrast ratio using black layer technology. This prototype ECR OLED was fabricated with the structure of ITO/HIL/HTL/RGB EML/HBL/ETL/LiF/Black Layer/Cathode and showed significant improvement of contrast ratio comparing with that of non-filtered OLED as well as compatible with circular polarizer OLED

A new reset method for high contrast ratio and reduction of the reset time is presented. In this new reset method, except the first subfield, a new reset pulse with only ramp-up period is adopted. In this reset method, from the third subfield, the background luminance generated during the reset period is theoretically zero until the first subfield of the following frame. Employing the new reset method, the dark room contrast ratio improved to 3084.7:1 from 189.1:1 of the conventional reset method. The new reset method reduced the required time for reset per subfield to 160us except the first subfield.

In ac plasma display(PDP), an image quality mainly depends on the contrast ratio. And the contrast ratio is affected by the driving condition and size of discharge cell. In this study, the electrical and optical characteristics during reset, address and sustain discharge were investigated as the height and width of barrier rib were varied in order to obtain the highest contrast ratio. As a result, the optimum rib height and width were 140${\mu}m$ and 600${\mu}m$, respectively.

This paper proposes a method to improve the image quality by designing Unsharp Mask Filter (UMF) based on Retinex theory which controls the frequency pass characteristics adaptively. Conventional unsharp masking technique uses blurring image to emphasize sharpness of image. Unsharp Masking(UM) adjusts the original image and sigma to obtain a high frequency component to be emphasized by the difference between the blurred image and the high frequency component to the original image, thereby improving the contrast ratio of the image. In this paper, we design a Unsharp Mask Filter(UMF) that can process the contrast ratio improvement method of Unsharp Masking(UM) technique with one filtering. We adaptively process the contrast ratio improvement using Unsharp Mask Filter(UMF). We propose a method based on Retinex theory for adaptive processing. For adaptive filtering, we control the weights of Unsharp Mask Filter(UMF) based on the human visual system and output more effective results.

In general, the background light produced during the reset period deteriorates the dark room contrast ratio in AC PDP. In this paper, we propose a modified ramp reset pulse that can reduce the background light to imperceptible level. In the new reset waveform, the discharges between the scan and sustain electrodes are minimized by applying a positive bias voltage to the sustain electrode and only the weak discharges between the scan and address electrodes occur during the reset period. We adopted a MgO coated phosphor layer to get the same level of voltage margin in the new reset pulse scheme compared to that of the conventional ramp reset pulse one. As a result, the voltage margin is maintained at the same level and the dark room contrast ratio is improved dramatically.
