Since a pattern defects "repair" system using a diode pumped solid state laser for Flat Panel Display (FPD) was suggested, a lot of laser systems have been explored and developed for mass-production microfabrication process. A maskless lithography system using 405 nm violet laser and Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) has been developed for PDP and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Thin Film Transistor (TFT) photolithography process. In addition, a "Laser Direct Patterning" system for Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) for Plasma Display Panel(PDP) has been evaluated one of the best successful examples for laser application system which is applied for mass-production lines. The "heat" and "solvent" free laser microfabrications process will be widely used because the next-generation flat panel displays, Flexible Display and Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) should use plastic substrates and organic materials which are very difficult to process using traditional fabrication methods.

In this article, the megasonic cleaning system for cleaning micro/nano particles from flat panel display (FPD) surfaces was developed. A piezoelectric actuator and a waveguide were designed by finite element method (FEM) analysis. The calculated peak frequency value of the quartz waveguide was 1002 kHz, which agreed well with the measured value of 1003 kHz. The average acoustic pressure of the megasonic cleaning system was 43.1 kPa, which is three times greater than that of the conventional type of 13.9 kPa. Particle removal efficiency (PRE) tests were performed, and the cleaning efficiency of the developed system was proven to be 99%. The power consumption of the developed system was 64% lower than that of the commercial system. These results show that the developed megasonic cleaning system can be an effective solution in particle removing from FPD substrate with higher energy efficiency and lower chemical and ultra pure water (UPW) consumption.

In recent semiconductor and FPD (Flat Panel Display) manufacturing processes, high clean-class delivery operation is required more and more for short working time and better product quality. Traditionally SLIM (Single-sided Linear Induction Motor) is widely used in the liner drive applications because of its simplicity in the rail structure. A magnetically levitated (Maglev) unmanned vehicle with SLIM traction, which is powered by a CPS (Contactless Power Supply) can be a high precision delivery solution for this industry. In this paper unmanned FPD-carrying vehicle, which can levitate without contacting the rail structure, is suggested for high clean-class FPD delivery applications. It can be more acceptable for the complex facilities composed with many processes which require longer rails, because of simple rail structure. The test setup consists of a test vehicle and a rounded rail, in which the vehicle can load and unload products at arbitrary position commanded through wireless communications of host computer. The experimental results show that the suggested vehicle and rail have reasonable traction servo and robust electromagnetic suspensions without any contact. The resolution of point servo errors in the SLIM traction system is accomplished under 1mm. The maximum gap error is ${\pm}0.25mm$ with nominal air gap length of 4.0mm in the electromagnetic suspensions. This type of automated delivery vehicle is expected to have significant role in the clean delivery like FPD glass delivery.

The FPDs(Flat Panel Displays) such as LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) and PDP(Plasma Display Panel) and OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode), recently, have been substituted for CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) displays because they have a convex surface, small volume, light weight and lower electric power consumption. The productivity of FPDs is greatly dependent on the area of thin glass panel with 0.6 - 0.8mm thickness because FPDs are manufactured by cutting a large-scaled thin glass panel with patterns to the required product dimensions. So FPD's industries are trying to increase the area of thin glass panel. For example, the thin glass panel size of the 8th generation is 2,200mm in width, 2,600mm in length and 0.7mm in thickness. The air flows both in the thin glass panel and in the porous PE-plate surface were modeled and analyzed, from which a working condition was estimated. The thin glass panel on the porous PE-plate surface with self-lubricating characteristics was investigated and compared with that on the square duct floating bar surface with many holes of 1mm diameter when the thin glass panel contacts the floating bar surface due to malfunction of electric power supply.

FPD(Flat Panel Display) 시장은 디지털 기술의 발전으로 급속하게 성장하고 있으며, 이는 TV 시장에서도 마찬가지이다. 많은 전문가들은 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)와 PDP(Plasma Display Panel)의 기술적 차이로 인해 LCD는 소형 크기의 TV에 적합하고, PDP는 대형 TV에 적합할 것이라 예상하고, 이에 따라 FPD TV 시장에 적용되는 기술이 목표시장(target market)에 따라 양분할 것으로 전망하였다. 그러나 LCD 생산기술상의 예상치 못한 급속한 진전은 PDP가 목표로 하는 대화면 TV 시장에서 LCD가 독자적인 틈새시장을 형성하고 이를 점차 확대할 수 있도록 하였다. 이러한 시장 전개 양상은 LCD와 PDP의 경쟁을 심화시키고, 현재 앞에서 전망한 바와 같은 현상은 발견되지 않고 있으며, 오히려 대화면 TV 시장에서조차 LCD가 우위에 있음을 보여주는 사례가 많다. 본 연구에서는 LCD가 PDP와의 기술적 격차를 줄이고, 결과적으로 LCD와 PDP간 경계를 무너뜨린 보다 근원적인 원인을 분석한다. 특히 이러한 잠재적 메커니즘을 시스템 다이나믹스 방법론을 도입하여 분석한다. 특히 PDP에 대하여 점진적으로 LCD가 우위를 확보하게 되는 피드백 루프들을 밝혀 내고자 한다. 그리고 이러한 피드백 루프 중에서 가장 효과가 큰 메커니즘을 찾아낸다.
