This paper proposes a luminance compensation method using optical sensors to achieve high luminance uniformity of active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays. The proposed method compensates for the non-uniformity of luminance by capturing the luminance of entire pixels and extracting the characteristic parameters. Data modulation using the extracted characteristic parameters is performed to improve luminance uniformity. In addition, memory size is optimized by selecting an optimal bit depth of the extracted characteristic parameters according to the trade-off between the required memory size and luminance uniformity. To verify the proposed compensation method with the optimized memory size, a 40-inch 1920×1080 AMOLED display with a target maximum luminance of 350 cd/m² is used. The proposed compensation method considering a 4σ range of luminance reduces luminance error from ± 38.64%, ± 36.32%, and ± 43.12% to ± 2.68%, ± 2.64%, and ± 2.76% for red, green, and blue colors, respectively. The optimal bit depth of each characteristic parameter is 6-bit and the total required memory size to achieve high luminance uniformity is 74.6 Mbits.

In this paper, a display's emotional image quality can be primarily determined by designing the proper luminance level. Though displays with high luminance are preferred, too much light emission from a display may cause glare or visual fatigue to viewers. To find out the proper luminance level based on various video contents, this study was conducted with an OLED display with a real-black level and a wide color gamut, and with an LCD display with a high luminance level, to set the glare threshold under various conditions. The optimum luminance levels according to the display's loading ratio were found, and the maximum luminance that did not cause a glare in the test is proposed.

In order to apply VLC (visible light communication) in harsh environment of nuclear power plant in-containment building, the high luminance LEDs, which are key components of the VLC system, have been gamma irradiated at the dose rate of 4 kGy/h during 72 hours up to a total dose of 288 kGy. The radiation induced coloration effect in the high luminance LED bulb made of acryl or plastic material was observed. In the VLC wireless data transmission experiment using the high luminance LEDs irradiated by high dose rate gamma-ray, the radiation induced coloration effect of the high luminance LED bulb extended the communication distance compared to non-irradiated LEDs.

In recent, displays have very good properties at high luminance, fast response, and size. Also They have good quality in terms of color according to the development of the gamut extension and color reproduction. However, despite these merits, there is a characteristic that at a high luminance display, observer perceive the different color from the originally re-producted color due to the change of perceived luminance in human visual system. In this paper, we propose a model that is the hue shift phenomenon between a normal display and a high luminance display, and then an algorithm which compensate the color between two devices, so that observer can perceive the same color.

We have proposed a new driving method of AC PDPs for high resolution and high luminance, in which address pulses shorter than 1 $\mu$sec and increase address time, make it possible to drive 2100 scan lines The proposed driving scheme also allows high sustain frequency, leading to improved luminance. The experiment with a 4-inch color AC PDP with 30$\times$58 pixels realized a high luminance of 850cd/$m^2$ when the sustain voltage of 140v with the frequency of 125KHz is applied to the panel, and showed the possibility of the proposed driving scheme for high luminance and high resolution AC PDPs with 2100 lines.

Luminance is the most important quantity in lighting design and illuminating engineering. There are three methods for measuring luminance; using a conventional luminance meter, through the illuminance measurement and subsequent calculations and using digital imaging photometer. Recently, HDRI(High Dynamic Range Imaging) technique introduces a new method of capturing luminance values in a lighting environment. The radiance maps from HDRI are commonly used as visual environment maps for lighting analysis applications. For the HDRI, HDR software is needed to create HDR image. Currently, there is number of HDR software available. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether a luminance map can be accurately captured by the various types of HDR software which include HDR Shop and Photoshop. To accomplish this goal a set of experiments was conducted. In order to assess the luminance values of the HDR image from HDR software, the values had to be compared to the ones obtained with conventional methods of luminance measurement.

High Luminance PDPs have been developed using high efficient electrode structure, discharge gas and fishbone type barrier ribs. New phosphors for the good picture quality were developed. Also, New manufacturing processes such as CPBB were applied in order to reduce processing steps. High Luminance of 1,000 $cd/m^2$ was obtained in the series of 42 inch, 50 inch and 60 inch PDPs.

PURPOSES : This study has been performed with the objective to determine threshold zone luminance of adaptation luminance by target safety level in a vehicular traffic tunnel with design speed set at 100km/h. METHODS : The study made a miniature capable of portraying changes in luminance distribution within $2{\times}10^{\circ}$ conical field of view of the driver approaching to the tunnel for the test. Test conditions were set based on justifications for CIE 88-1990's threshold zone luminance used as a reference by domestic tunnel light standards (KS C 3703 : 2010). Luminance contrast of object background and object is 23%, object presentation duration is 0.5 seconds, and size of the object background is $7.3{\times}11.5m^2$ RESULTS : Threshold zone luminance was set within adaptation luminance of $100{\sim}3,000cd/m^2$. Adaptation luminance and threshold zone luminance based on 50%, 75% and 90% target safety level all showed a relatively high linear relationship. According to findings in the study, it is not appropriate to specify the relationship between adaptation luminance and threshold zone luminance as luminance ratio. Rather, direct utilization of the linear relationship gained from the study findings appears to be the better solution. CONCLUSIONS : Findings of this study may be used to determine operation of threshold zone luminance based on target safety level. However, a proper verification and validity of test results are required. Furthermore, a study to determine proper threshold zone luminance level considering target safety level reviewed in this study and various decision-making factors such as economic conditions in Korea and energy-related policies should be carried out in addition. Additional tests on adaptation luminance greater than $3,000cd/m^2$ will be performed, through which application scope of the test findings will be broadened.

VLC (Visible Light Communication) is a wireless communication method using light that is visible to the human eye. It has a major advantage that it causes no interference to RF-based devices. This makes wireless communication possible in RF hazardous areas such as nuclear facilities. In order to apply VLC communication in harsh environment of nuclear power plant, the high luminance LEDs, which are key components of the VLC communication, have been gamma-ray irradiated at the dose rate of 4kGy/h during 72 hours up to a total dose of 288 kGy. The radiation induced color-center was formed in the LED housing cap made of transparent plastic or acryl material. The beam degradations of high luminance LEDs by high dose-rate gammaray irradiation are analyzed using color CCD image processing technology.

In AC-PDP, it is necessary to achieve high luminance efficiency, high luminance and high definition by adopting technologies such as high xenon concentration and long gap. However, it is very difficult to apply above technologies because they make many problems such as mis-discharge and high driving voltage. Especially, the reactive power of PDP must be reduced for satisfaction in international standard IEC62087. In this paper, we proposed CLHS driving method which is half sustain driver without energy recovery capacitor. In the experimental results, CLHS driving method reduced reactive power consumption about 10%. Also, CLHS driving method improved the luminance efficiency in all discharge loads. Therefor, the more the discharge load decreases, the more the luminance efficiency improves. When the discharge load is 20%, CLHS driving method improved 5.35%.
