In this study, it was investigated about optical simulation in direct-type backlight design. Direct-type backlight has been used high-brightness backlight such as medical LCD application. The key parameter in designing direct-type backlight was consists of three geometrical dimension such as the distance of two lamps, the gap of lamp and reflection plate and the number of lamps. It has many of variations in optical design and it causes the different properties in backlight system. It shows the best values of above parameters; 26 mm of the distance of two lamps, 4.5 mm of the gap of lamp and reflection plate and 16 lamps. And we produced the specimen as above condition, and acquired good result in backlight such as the value of the brightness is 6423 nit in center of emission area and less than 5 % in brightness uniformity. It shows the effective ways of designing backlight system using optical simulation method for medical LCD application.

Cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) has been used as a light source for direct type backlights for LCD monitors or TV. One inverter for one CCFL was necessary for maintaining the lamp current so that many inverters were used to drive as many CCFLs of direct type backlight for LCD TV. An inverter for driving 16 CCFLs was developed to reduce the backlight cost. The length and diameter of CCFL were 450mm and 4mm, respectively. Backlight including 16 CCFLs for 26" LCD TV was assembled by using one inverter. The uniformities of the assembled backlight operated by the conventional inverter and the newly developed inverter were 75% and 88%, respectively.

In this study, It was studied about the luminance characteristics of 17 inch direct-type back light using EEFL(external electrode fluorescent lamp) and CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent lamp). The EEFL has a long life time because the electrode is installed outside of lamp. And it is produced in lower price than conventional CCFL. Moreover, it does not need process of installing internal electrode. However, the EEFL technology has several problems such as difficulty of designing driving inverter and preventing this phenomenon along the skin of lamps. We suggested two types of backlight unit for LCD TV application using the EEFL and the CCFL. We found optimized optical design parameters. We set the optical variation parameters such as lamp height, lamp distance, total thickness, and angles of inner walls. We achieved 7580 nits of center luminance, 82% of luminance uniformity by using 20 lamps of the EEFL and 7297 nits of center luminance, 78% of luminance uniformity by using 16 lamps of the CCFL.

In this study, It was studied about the luminance characteristics of 17inch direct-type back light using EEFL(External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp). EEFI has a long life time because the electrode is installed outside of lamp. And it is produced low price than conventional CCFL. It does not need process of installing internal electrode. But EEFL technology has several problems such as difficulty of design driving inverter, and prevents leckage current along the skin of lamps. Therefore, by the optimizing of inverter properties, 7525 nit center luminance was acquired in almost same power consumption condition. It was almost same luminance in CCFL backlight unit. And it was operated stably in low operating temperature such as the value of $40^{\circ}C$, so that it was adopted in conventional LCD-TV application.

In this paper, we have designed a novel lens for LED's package that can expend the radiation angle of LED from $120^{\circ}$ to $170^{\circ}$ successfully. At the same brightness and uniformity condition of 37" LED BLU system, using novel lens LED package can be reduced amounts of LED 40% or thickness of BLU 30% respectively. Besides, the power consumption of BLU also can be reduced 25%.

A direct light type backlight for large-area LCD-TVs using External Electrode Fluorescent Lamps (EEFLs) has been developed. The brightness was $450cd/m^{2}$(nit) and the luminous uniformity (max/min) was 1.3. The mechanical design of backlight was optimized and the reliability of lamps was secured. As a result, the possibility of backlight with EEFLs for large area LCD-TVs was sufficiently proved.

Recently, According to companies of TFT LCD are making large sized products more and more. In the vortex of Products with a monitor and LCD TV is applied in a technique of a high viewing angle(FFS, IPS, VA). Also, as a high luminance, high speed response time, high degree of a color purity, and so on are continuing to develop a high performance, it is necessary to improve a specific character of high luminance that apply to LCD TV as a LCD BLU. Because a LCD panel for TV usually has a lower resolution that compare to a monitor, the structure of present backlight system can't put out its power even though it has a merit in transmission. Therefore, the examination of improvement about the high luminance direct typed BLU for LCD TV that presupposes several uses of CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) or EEFL(External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp)is actively being progressed. Although it is necessary to increase the number of lamps for applying high performance by the direct type, in this case, because we can design the character of luminance for adoption of high performance. We can satisfy with a level of luminance for LCD TV. Accordingly, we analyzed a change of the number of CCFL, mechanical and optical character to produce the direct typed backlight in 32inches spec. Consequently, we achieved luminance of 6597nit,which was including polarization film, and secured the standard for LCD TV.
