The characteristics of vibration and noise of a compressor used for electric appliances have significant influence on the quality of the products. For improvement on the quality of electric appliances, investigations for understanding the dynamic behaviour of the compressor are essential. Since Virtual Lab for the dynamics model and MAXWELL for the electromagnetics model are separate software programs with no interface, the joint simulation of the models could not be performed. This study suggests a way to develop the compressor model capable of the joint simulation with MATLAB/SIMULINK linking a flexible multi-body dynamics model, a torque model, and an electricity control model. The compressor model is found to be able to perform I/O data transfer among the sub-models and joint simulation. The simulation results of the flexible body and rigid body dynamics models were compared to check availability of the joint simulation system. In addition, the simulated vibration and driving torque of the compressor mechanisms were compared with measurements. Through the simulations, the influence of springs and LDT on the dynamic behaviour of the compressor was examined. This study examines the influence of the dynamic behaviour of the compressor mechanisms through joint simulation of the flexible multi-body dynamics model and electromagnetic circuit allows analysis.

최근 차세대 디스플레이인 flexible 하고 transparent 한 디스플레이 개발이 진행 중 이며, 이러한 디스플레이가 개발 되기 위해 백 플레인으로 사용되는 Thin Film Transistor (TFT) 또한 차세대 디스플레이 못지 않게 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 기존의 무기물을 기반으로 하고 Rigid한 TFT는 현재 많은 곳에 적용이 되어 사람들이 사용 하고 있다. 하지만 이미 시장은 포화상태이며 차세대 디스플레이 컨셉인 flexible 하고 투명한 것과 맞지 않는다. 그래서 유연하며 투명한 특성을 가진 TFT에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 되고 있으며 많은 성과를 이루었다. 이러한 소자를 이용하여 훗날 Electronic-skin(e-skin)이라 부르는 전자 피부를 활용하여 실시간 모니터링 할 수 있는 헬스 케어 분야 등에 활용 가치 또한 높다. 현재 유연하며 투명한 기판 및 물질 개발에 많은 연구 개발이 진행 되고 있다. 하지만 유연한 기판을 사용하여 TFT를 제작한 후 stress나 bending에 대한 내구성과 안정성, 신뢰성 등이 무기물을 기반으로 한 TFT에 비해 좋지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 유연하며 투명한 기판을 사용한 TFT에 대한 안정성, 신뢰성 등을 확보하여야 한다. 본 연구 에서는 유연한 기판을 사용하여 TFT를 제작 한 후, TFT특성과 안정성을 확보하는 것을 목표로 실험을 진행하였다. 우리는 Mo전극과 Parylene 기판을 사용하여 유연한 TFT소자를 탑 게이트 구조로 제작 하였고 Rigid한 Glass기판 위에 Floating Process를 진행하기 위해 PVA층을 코팅 후 그 위에 Parylene을 CVD로 증착 하고 IGZO를 Sputter를 사용해 증착했다. Parylene은 DI Water 70도에서 Floating 공정을 통해 Rigid 기판에서 탈착 시켰다. 유연한 기판 위에 TFT를 제작 후 bending에 대한 특성 변화 및 안정성에 대한 측정을 실시하였다. Bending에 대한 특성 변화는 우수한 결과가 나왔지만 안정성 측정 중 Negative Bias Stress(NBS) 상에서 비정상적인 On Current Drop 현상이 발생 되었다. Parylene과 Channel층 사이 interface roughness로 인해 charge trap이 되고 이로 인해 On Current Drop 이라는 현상으로 나타났다. 그래서 우리는 Parylene 기판과 Channel 층간의 surface roughness를 개선하기 위한 방법으로 UV Treatment를 사용하였고 시간을 다르게 하여 surface 개선을 진행했다. Treatment 시간을 증가 시킴에 따라 Surface roughness가 많이 좋아 졌으며, Surface를 개선하고자 비정상적인 On Current Drop 현상이 없어졌으며 위 실험으로 Polymer의 surface roughness에 따라 TFT에 대한 안정성에 대한 신뢰성이 확보 될 수 있는 것을 확인 하였다.

In this study, we have investigated the structural and electrical characteristics of IZO thin films deposited on flexible substrate for the OLED (organic light emitting diodes) devices. For this purpose, PES was used for flexible substrate and IZO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering under oxygen ambient gases (Ar, $Ar+O_2$) at room temperature. In order to investigate the influences of the oxygen, the flow rate of oxygen in argon mixing gas has been changed from 0.1sccm to 0.5sccm. All the samples show amorphous structure regardless of flow rate. The electrical resistivity of IZO films increased with increasing flow rate of $O_2$ under $Ar+O_2$. All the films showed the average transmittance over 85% in the visible range. The OLED device was fabricated with different IZO electrodes made by configuration of IZO/a-NPD/DPVB/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al to elucidate the performance of IZO substrate. OLED devices with the amorphous-IZO (a-IZO) anode film show better current density-voltage-luminance characteristics than that of OLED devices with the commercial crystalline-ITO (c-ITO) anode film. It can be explained that very flat surface roughness and high work function of a-IZO anode film lead to more efficient hole injection by reduction of interface barrier height between anode and organic layers. This suggests that a-IZO film is a promising anode materials substituting conventional c-ITO anode in OLED devices.

This Paper proposes an effective SoC hardware architecture implementing a VDP for Full HD TVs. The proposed architecture makes real time video processing possible with supporting efficient bus architecture and flexible interface. Video IP cores in the VDP are designed to provide a high quality of improved image enhancement function. The Avalon interface is adopted to guarantee real-time capability to IPs as well as SoC integration. This leads to reduced design time and also enhanced designer's convenience due to the easiness in IP addition, deletion, and revision for IP verification and SoC integration. The embedded software makes it possible to implement flexible real-time system by controlling setting parameter details and data transmitting schemes in real-time. The proposed VDP SoC design is implemented on Cyclon III SoPC platform. The experimental results show that our proposed architecture of the VDP SoC successfully provides required quality of Video image by converting SD level input to Full HD level image.

This paper aims to elicit user-defined hand gestures for the small cylindrical displays with flexible displays which has not emerged as a product yet. For this, we first defined the size and functions of a small cylindrical display, and elicited the tasks for operating its functions. Henceforward we implemented the experiment environment which is similar to real cylindrical display usage environment by developing both of a virtual cylindrical display interface and a physical object for operating the virtual cylindrical display. And we showed the results of each task in the virtual cylindrical display to the participants so they could define the hand gestures which are suitable for each task in their opinion. We selected the representative gestures for each task by choosing the gestures of the largest group in each task, and we also calculated agreement scores for each task. Finally we observed mental model of the participants which was applied for eliciting the gestures, based on analyzing the gestures and interview results from the participants.

This paper describes the power generating property of hydrothermally grown ZnO nanorods on a flexible polyethersulfone (PES) substrate. The piezoelectric currents generated by the ZnO nanorods were measured when bending the ZnO nanorod by using I-AFM, and the measured piezoelectric currents ranged from 60 to 100 pA. When the PtIr coated tip bends a ZnO nanorod, piezoelectrical asymmetric potential is created on the nanorod surface. The Schottky barrier at the ZnO-metal interface accumulates elecntrons and then release very quickly generating the currents when the tip moves from tensile to compressed part of ZnO nanorod. These ZnO nanorods were grown almost vertically with the length of 300-500 nm and the diameter of 30-60 nm on the Ag/Ti/PES substrate at $90^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours by hydrothermal method. The metal-semiconductor interface property was evaluated by using a HP 4145B Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer and the piezoelectric effect of the ZnO nanorods were evaluated by using an I-AFM. From the measured I-V characteristics, it was observed that ZnO-Ag and ZnO-Au metal-semiconductor interfaces showed an ohmic and a Schottky contact characteristics, respectively. ANSYS finite element simulation was performed in order to understand the power generation mechanism of the ZnO nanorods under applied external stress theoretically.

This paper proposes a flexible and highly reusable modeling methodology for a next-generation combat entity which enables joint analysis of performance/engagement effectiveness. According to the scope of the proposed work, the paper is divided into two parts; Part 1 focuses on a conceptual model design, whereas Part 2 proposes detailed model specification and implementation. In Part 1, we, first, classify the combat entity model as combat logic and battlefield function sub-models for joint analysis. Based on the sub-models, we propose two dimensional model partition method, which creates six groups of a single combat entity model by two dimensions: three-activity and two-abstraction. This grouping enables us to reconfigure the combat entity model by sharing the same interface within the group, and the same interface becomes the fundamental basis of the flexible model composition. Furthermore, the proposed method provides a model structure that effectively reflects the real world and maximizes the multi-level reusability of a combat entity model. As a case study, we construct a model design for anti-surface ship warfare. The case study proves enhancement of model reusability in the process of scenario expansion from pattern running to wire guided torpedo operations.

The repeated-bending properties of Sn-0.7Cu, Sn-0.3Ag-0.7Cu (SAC0307), and Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) solders mounted on flexible substrates were studied using highly accelerated stress testing (HAST), followed by repeated-bending testing. In the Sn-0.7Cu joints, the $Cu_6Sn_5$ intermetallic compound (IMC) coarsened as the HAST time increased. For the SAC0307 and SAC305 joints, the $Ag_3Sn$ and $Cu_6Sn_5$ IMCs coarsened mainly along the grain boundary as the HAST time increased. The Sn-0.7Cu solder had a high contact angle, compared to the SAC0307 and SAC305 solders; consequently, the SAC0307 and SAC305 solder joints displayed smoother fillet shapes than the Sn-0.7Cu solder joint. The repeated-bending for the Sn-0.7Cu solder produced the crack initiated from the interface between the Cu lead wire and the solder, and that for the SAC solders indicated the cracks initiated at the surface, but away from the interface between the Cu lead wire and the solder. Furthermore, the oxide layer was thickest for Sn-0.7Cu and thinnest for SAC305, regardless of the HAST time. For the SAC solders, the crack initiation rate increased as the oxide layer thickened and roughened. $Cu_6Sn_5$ precipitated and grew along the grain and subgrain boundaries as the HAST time increased, embrittling the grain boundary at the crack propagation site.

In order to develop a local stiffness-variant stretchable substrate with the soft PDMS/hard PDMS/FPCB configuration consisting of two stiffness-different polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) parts and flexible printed circuit board, a FPCB was bonded to PDMS using the acrylic-silicone double-sided tape and the interfacial adhesion of the PDMS/FPCB was evaluated. The pull strength of the FPCB, which was bonded to the fully cured PDMS using the silicone adhesive of the double-sided tape, was 259 kPa and the delamination during the pull test occurred at the interface between the PDMS and the silicone adhesive. On the contrary, the bonding process, for which the FPCB was bonded using the silicone adhesive to the PDMS partially cured for 15~20 minutes at $60^{\circ}C$ and then the PDMS was fully cured for 12 hours at $60^{\circ}C$, exhibited the remarkably enhanced pull strength of 1,007~1,094 kPa. With the above mentioned bonding process, the delamination during the pull test was observed at the interface between the FPCB and the acrylic adhesive of the acrylic-silicone double sided tape.
