The information indicating device plays an important part in the information times. Recently, the classical CRT (Cathod Ray Tube) display is getting transferred to the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) one which is a kind of the FPDs (Flat Panel Displays). The OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) display of the FPDs has many advantages for the low power consumption, the luminescence in itself, the light weight, the thin thickness, the wide view angle, the fast response and so on as compared with the LCD one. The OLED has lately attracted considerable attention as the next generation device for the information indicators. And also it has already been applied for the outside panel of a mobile phone, and its demand will be gradually increased in the various fields. It is manufactured by the vapor deposition method in the vacuum state, and the uniformity of thin film on the substrate depends on the temperature distribution in the point-cell source. This paper describes the basic concepts that are obtained to design the point-cell source using the computational temperature analysis. The grids are generated using the module of AUTOHEXA in the ICEM CFD program and the temperature distributions are numerically obtained using the STAR-CD program. The temperature profiles are calculated for four cases, i.e., the charge rate for the source in the crucible, the ratio of diameter to height of the crucible, the ratio of interval to height of the heating bands, and the geometry modification for the basic crucible. As a result, the blowout phenomenon can be shown when the charge rate for the source increases. The temperature variation in the radial direction is decreased as the ratio of diameter to height is decreased and it is suggested that the thin film thickness can be uniformed. In case of using one heating band, the blowout can be shown as the higher temperature distribution in the center part of the source, and the clogging can appear in the top end of the crucible in the lower temperature. The phenomena of both the blowout and the clogging in the modified crucible with the nozzle-diffuser can be prevented because the temperature in the upper part of the crucible is higher than that of other parts and the temperature variation in the radial direction becomes small.

Recently, due to the launch of digital broadcasting service, the demand of Flat Panel Display (FPD) is sharply rising. Among them, the PDP is expected to be one of the most promising digital displays of next generation because of its large screen size, high resolution, thinness and board field of view. Meanwhile, the PDP uses ADS (Address Display-period Separation) scheme which divide one subfield into address and sustaining period to express the grey scale of images. Since the output of sustaining power module Is mostly used for sustaining period, the load of the sustaining power module can be considered as a pulsating load. Due to this particular load condition, if the wide ZVS range of the power switches is not guaranteed, the hard switching causes large amount of switching loss and serious thermal problem in power module. In this paper, a high efficiency power conversion circuit for 60' PDP sustaining power module which achieves wide ZVS range with the help of additional ZVS tank is proposed. According to the various gating methods, the different operations of the proposed converter are presented. And, to confirm the properties of the proposed converter, an experimental prototype of 900W power converter is constructed md tested. As a result, more than $92\%$ of high efficiency is obtained at $10\%$ load condition, and the ZVS operation is achieved from full load to $10\%$ load condition.

TCO(Transparent Conducting Oxide) on flat glass is used in thin-film photovoltaic cell, flat-panel display. Nowadays, Corning(R) Willow Glass(R), known as flexible substrate, has attracted much attention due to its many advantages such as reliable roll-to-roll glass processing, high-quality flexible electronic devices, high temperature process. Also, it can be an alternative to flexible polymer substrates which have their poor stability and degradation of electrical and optical qualities. For application on willow glass, the flexibility, electrical, optical properties can be greatly influenced by the TCO thin film thickness due to the inherent characterization of thin film in nanoscale. It can be expected that while thick TCO layer causes poor transparency, its sheet resistance become low. Also, rarely reports were focusing on the influence of flexible properties by varying TCO thickness on flexible glass. Therefore, it is very important to optimize TCO thickness on flexible Willow glass. In this study, Ti-ZnO thin films, with different thickness varied from 0 nm to 50 nm, were deposited on the flexible willow glass by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The flexible, electrical and optical properties were investigated, respectively. Also, these properties of Ti-doped ZnO thin films were compared with un-doped ZnO thin film. Based on the results, when Ti-ZnO thin films thickness increased, resistivity decreased and then saturated; transmittance decreased. The Figure of Merit (FoM) and flexibility was the highest when Ti-ZnO thickness was 40nm. The flexible, electrical and optical properties of Ti-ZnO thin films were better than ZnO thin film at the same thickness.

오늘날 평판표시장치(Flat Panel Display; FPD)는 대면적화, 고정밀화를 요구하고 있으며, 이에 따라 TCO에 요구되는 사양이 점점 까다로워지고 있다. ITO의 사용량을 절감하면서 동시에 우수한 투과도와 전기전도도를 얻기 위해 산화물/금속/산화물 구조와 같이 금속층을 투명 전도막 재료 사이에 삽입한 다층구조의 투명 전도성 필름에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 산화물/금속/산화물 구조의 다층 박막은 기판상에 Antireflection 코팅으로 사용되어 왔으나 최근 투명 전극 분야에 응용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 최적의 ZTO/Ag/ZTO 다층박막에 100, 200, $300^{\circ}C$ 열처리와 200W-300, 500, 700 eV 전자빔 조사를 실시하여 특성을 비교하여 보았다. 열처리는 $300^{\circ}C$, 전자빔조사는 200W-700 eV 일 때 가장 좋은 효과가 나타났다. 가장 좋은 두 조건을 비교했을 때 전자빔 조사의 경우 비저항 $7.25{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}cm$, 투과도 84.2%, Figure of Merit $2.8{\times}10^{-2}[{\Omega}-1]$로 열처리에 비해 좋은 특성을 나타냄을 알수 있었다.

We have developed multi-layer passivation films of UV-polymerized film/inorganic composite film to improve the long lifetime of passivated OLEDs for very thin flat panel applications. Preliminary lifetime to half initial luminance ($L_{o}{\sim}\;3,000\;cd/m^2$) of order 300 Hr is achieved on the conventional encapsulated test pixel using a passive matrix drive at room temperature; 570 Hr lifetime is achieved on a de tested multi-layer passivated 9$mm^2$ test pixel.

A real-time, continuous-scale image interpolation method is proposed based on bi-linear interpolation with directionally adaptive low-pass filtering. The proposed algorithm has been optimized for hardware implementation. The original bi-linear interpolation method has blocking artifact. The proposed algorithm solves this problem using directionally adaptive low-pass filtering. It can also solve the severely problem by selection choosing low-pass filter coefficients. Therefore the proposed interpolation algorithm can realize a high-quality image scaler for various imaging systems, such as digital camera, CCTV and digital flat panel display, to name a few.

IMML(Inorganic metal multi-layer) was used as cathode in the OLED devices to reduce the reflectance or ITO and increase the contrast ratio. Device structure was $ITO/{\alpha}-NPD/Alq_3:DCJTB/Alq_3/IMML/Al$. $Alq_3$ and DCJTB (4 - (dicyanomethylene) - 2 - ( 1 - propyls) 6 - methy 4H - pyrans) as host material lot red emission and red emitting guest material. IMML made three different layer: thin aluminum layer, aluminum layer doped with silicon monoxide, thick aluminum layer. The red OLED device with IMML showed the average reflectance of $4.97\%$, and then normal OLED with or without polarizer showed the average reflectance of $4.55\%$, $46\%$ at visible range from 380 nm to 780 nm. The brightness of OLED with IMML at 13 V was 5557 $cd/m^2$, and that of normal OLED with polarizer was 4872 $cd/m^2$. IMML could be the substitution for polarizer with same reflection, low cost, easy process in flat panel display market.

A reactor protection system (RPS) plays the roles of generating the reactor trip signal and the engineered safety features (ESF) actuation signal when the monitored plant processes reach predefined limits. A Korean project group is developing a new digitalized RPS and the Cabinet Operator Module (COM) of the RPS which is used for the RPS integrity testing and monitoring by an equipment operator. A flat panel display (FPD) with a touch screen capability is provided as a main user interface for the RPS operation. To support the RPS COM user interface design, actually the FPD screen design, we developed a user interface style guide because the system designer could not properly deal with the many general human factors design guidelines. To develop the user interface style guide, various design guideline gatherings, a walk-though with a video recorder, guideline selection with respect to user interface design elements, determination of the properties of the design elements, discussion with the system designers, and a conversion of the properties into a screen design were carried out. This paper describes the process in detail and the findings in the course of the style guide development.

In a recent effort to develop polymer light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as promising flat panel display components, measurements of reliable absolute photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) efficiency for polymer materials are required. In this work, we performed the measurement of PL and EL efficiency of luminescent polymers using an integrating sphere technique. The external PL efficiency of MEH-PPV was estimated to be 8 ($\pm$2)% together with the value of 0.02 1m/W for the external EL efficiency. This PL efficiency is in good agreement with published values, indicating that our PL efficiency measurements are somewhat legitimate. We believe this study might contribute to the research and development of organic materials for optoelectronic devices.
