The high voltage driving system with multi-phase shifter including piezoelectric actuators comprised a driving power unit for outputting the driving power by converting input alternate current into direct current, a frequency shifting unit for supplying the direct current power and shifting or generating a frequency, a high-voltage amplification unit for amplifying the input signal outputted from the driving power unit and the frequency shifting unit into a high-voltage signal, and a phase shifting unit for shifting the phase difference of the amplified signal applied to the high-voltage amplification unit and driving plural piezoelectric actuators sequentially. The results that the operating voltage was stable, the voltage loss ratio was low and the response velocity was fast could be obtained. An experiment on performance of the high voltage driving system with multi-phase shifter designed and manufactured as above described was conducted by using a piezoelectric pump having 3 sheets of round unimorph piezoelectric actuators laminated respectively in a rectangular case. It sucks any fluid by causing the first piezoelectric actuator to shift from the inlet porter side, the phase delay of 60$^{\circ}$ causes the second piezoelectric actuator to begin to shift, and the phase delay of 120$^{\circ}$ causes the third piezoelectric actuator to begin to shift. As a result of measuring each change in the outlet flow rate of the piezoelectric pump, it was shown that the frequency-flow rate characteristic, the voltage-flow characteristic, and the load pressure-flow rate characteristic were improved.

This paper presents a new driving method that can drive AC PDPs with low voltage and controlled-current for the sustaining period. The discharge current flowing into the AC PDP is limited in this method. Thus, the power consumption for the discharge is reduced and the discharge input power to output luminance efficiency is improved. Experimental results using this driving method showed that we could drive an AC PDP with a voltage source as low as 146 V and that luminous efficiency of 1.33 lm/W can be achieved.

A novel OLED pixel circuit is proposed in this paper that uses only n-type thin-film transistors(TFTs) to improve the luminance non-uniformity of the AMOLED display caused by the threshold voltage variation of an OLED driving TFT. The proposed OLED pixel circuit is composed of 6 n-channel TFTs and 2 capacitors. The operation of the proposed OLED pixel circuit consists of the capacitor initializing period, threshold voltage sensing period of an OLED·driving TFT, image data voltage writing period, and OLED·emitting period. As a result of SmartSpice simulation, when the threshold voltage of·OLED·driving TFT varies from 1.2 V to 1.8 V, the proposed OLED pixel circuit has a maximum current error of 5.18 % at IOLED = 1 nA. And, when the OLED cathode voltage rises by 0.1 V, the proposed OLED pixel circuit has very little change in the OLED current compared to the conventional OLED pixel circuit. Therefore, the proposed pixel circuit exhibits superior compensation characteristics for the threshold voltage variation of an OLED driving TFT and the rise of the OLED cathode voltage compared to the conventional OLED pixel circuit.

In this paper, we propose a newly developed selective reset waveform of a ac PDP using the wide erase pulse technique with the control of address bias voltage. Although it is generally understood that the wide pulse erasing methode shows the narrow driving margin in an opposite discharge type ac PDP, we could obtain a moderate driving margin in a 3-electrode surface discharge type ac PDP. The obtained driving margin shows a strong dependency on the sustain voltage and the address bias voltage. The lower the sustain and the address bias voltage, the wider the driving margin. The pulse width of the proposed waveform is only $10{\mu}s$, which gives additional time to the sustain period, hence increases the brightness. The brightness and contrast ratio increase about 20% together comparing to the conventional ramp type selective reset waveform with the driving scheme of 10 subfield ADS method. The driving margin was measured with the line by line addressed pattern on the white test panel of 2inch diagonal size and the discharge gas was Ne+Xe4%, 400torr.

In this paper the optimized overlap driving scheme for improving the reduction problem of the operating voltage range occured by the overlap driving scheme proposed precedently and increasing the contrast ratio of screen image in the simple matrix LCDs is proposed. The characteristic estimation of the proposed method was performed in a condition that the number of scan electrodes was 120 and the threshold voltage of LC pixel was 2V and the overlap rate of scan signal was varied from 0% to 40% . As a result of estimation compared with the overlap driving scheme proposed precedently, this new method was certified as a method which it could increase the operating voltage range of the LC pixel by 16% in 20% overlap condition and it's operating voltage range was also increased very much with the increase of the overlap rate. Consequently this newly proposed method was certified as a method which it could maintain the improvement effect of the operating characteristics obtained by the overlap driving scheme proposed precedently with the big improvement in the contrast ratio of screen image.

In the analysis of the electric machine by finite element method, the primary current has been selected as a driving source. But the voltage is constant and the primary current varies according to the load condition in the pracdtical system. Therefore, in this paper, magnetic flux distribution, primary current, input effective power, power factor, efficiency and propulsion force of S.L.I.M. were calculated by the finite element method cnsidering the voltage as a driving source. Because the driving characteristics could not be measured in the S.L.I.M., voltage-current curve, 3-phase current curve, and propulsion force were measured at the starting and they were compared with theoretical values.

We have investigated the effect of organic thin film on the driving voltage of OLED (organic light emitting diode) by inserting a 5 nm thick 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP) or triphenylphosphineoxide ($Ph_3PO$) between tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum ($Alq_3$) electron transport layer and 4,4'-bis(2,2'-diphyenylvinyl)-1,1'-biphenyl (DPVBi) emission layer. The device with 5 nm thick $Ph_3PO$ layer exhibited higher maximum current efficiency and lower driving voltage than the device with BCP layer, resulting from better electron injection from $Alq_3$ to DPVBi in the device with $Ph_3PO$ layer.

In this paper, we describe the optimal driving method and magnetic flux distribution of permanent magnet which enhance torque characteristics in small-sized 3-phase brushless DC motors. The disadvantages of conventional $120^{\circ}$ constant current drive method are torque ripple, switching noise and spike voltage due to the inductance of stator coil. This shortcommings can be avoided by the switching slew-rate of driving current which is called linear voltage driving method. The aim of this study is to analyze linear voltage driving method quantatively and to determine optimal drive current waveform through computer simulation. The selection of commutation angle and slew rate of a new driving current at switching instants makes torque ripple index minimize and average torque maximize. And the validity of this new driving method was assured by Fourier analysis. Considering two dimensional nonlinear magnetic flux distribution on the permanent magnet, we suggest optimal flux distribution according to the presented driving method which improves torque characteristics.
