A new high contrast LCD structure for TN mode TFT-LCD, of which the contrast ratio is 1.2 times hi gher than that of the conventional one, has been developed. The contrast ratio of TFT-LCD display can be improved by some modified materials, which like as polarizer, liquid crystal, color filter and light enhancement film. In order to know which condition can get the major contribution for the upgrade of the contrast ratio, we used Taguchi method and analyzed the contribution ratio for each composition and succeed to build up the formula of contrast ratio. From this study, we could achieve the highest CR value as 1200:1 of TN mod e TFT-LCD nowadays.

Chip on glass (COG) bonding using anisotropic conductive film (ACF) is a key technology to assemble a driver IC onto a LCD glass panel. In this paper, an experimental investigation was conducted to investigate the correlation between contact resistance and characteristics of image taken by machine vision based inspection system. The results show that the contact resistance was strongly influenced by the contrast ratio of conductive particle rather than the number of conductive particles. Also, number of conductive particles whose contrast ratio is below 0.75 is crucial for determining the quality of the assembled samples. On the other hand, in the result of high temperature high humidity storage test, the contrast ratio of samples was increased. However, in the case of open-circuit samples after temperature humidity storage test, the number of conductive particles whose contrast ratio is above 0.75 was more than that of the closed-circuit samples.

We have developed a high performance vertical alignment TFT-LCD, that shows a high light transmittance, and wide viewing angle characteristics with an unusually high contrast ratio. In order to optimize the electro-optical properties we have studied the effect of cell parameters, multi-domain structure and retardation film compensation. With the optimized cell parameters and process conditions, we have achieved a 24" wide UXGA TFT-LCD monitor (16:10 aspect ratio 1920X1200) showing a contrast ratio over 500:1, panel transmittance near 4.5%, response time near 27 ms, and viewing angle higher than 80 degree in all directions.

The ramp reset driving method proposed in [1] has been widely adopted because of its stability and high contrast ratio. However, when the conventional ramp reset method is used in PDPs of higher resolution, the long required time for reset often becomes a problem. In this paper, a new driving method that requires much less reset time and that significantly improves the contrast ratio is introduced. Using this new driving method, the required time for reset could be reduced to 150us from 350us of the conventional ramp reset method, and the contrast ratio is almost infinite because the luminance of the off-cell is almost zero.

This paper proposes a method to drive an AC plasma display panel(PDP) with a significantly improved contrast ratio. In the proposed method, during the first sub-field of one frame, all PDP cells are reset by the ramp waveform, and during the other sub-field, only the cells turned on in the previous sub-field are reset. No light is emitted during the reset period of every sub-field except the first sub-field. For a 10-bit picture, the luminance of the dark level for the proposed method is 10 times lower than that for the conventional method, in which the ramp waveform for the reset is used in every sub-field. Accordingly, the contrast ratio for the proposed method is 10 times higher than that for the conventional method. For the 10-bit picture, the measured contrast ratio was about 3080:1 for the proposed method and about 285:1 with the conventional method, a result the contrast ratio has been increased in 10.8 times. This result shows that the proposed method can realize an image with high contrast ratio.

본 논문에서는 종래의 한 프레임 내에서 매 서브필드마다 리셋구간에 램프파를 인가하던 구동 방식에서 한 프레임 내에 첫 번째 서브필드의 리셋구간에만 램프파를 인가하고, 나머지 서브필드에서는 유지방전을 실행한 셀 들만 초기화하여 고콘트라스트를 실현시킨 구동 파형에 대해 연구하였다. 실험결과 첫 번째 서브필드에서의 리셋구간에서만 램프파에 의해 광이 출력되고, 나머지 서브필드의 리셋구간에서는 광이 출력되지 않음을 확인하였다. 이것은 한 프레임 내에 10개의 서브필드를 사용할 때 종래의 구동 파형에 비해 어두운 화면에서 Background 휘도가 약 10배정도 낮음을 보여준다. 그리고 종래의 구동 파형에서 측정된 285:1의 콘트라스트 비율과 본 논문에서 사용한 구동 파형에 대해 측정한 3080:1의 콘트라스트 비율을 비교했을 때 약 10.8배정도 높아졌으며, 이로 인해 고콘트라스트를 실현시켰다.

In this paper, we propose an image enhancement method based on Multi-Scale Retinex theory that designs Unsharp Masking Filter (UMF) and emphasizes the contrast ratio adaptively. Unsharp Masking (UM) technique emphasizes image sharpness and improves contrast ratio by adding high frequency component to the original image. The high frequency component is obtained by differentiating between original image and low frequency image. In this paper, we present how to design an UMF kernel and to adaptively apply it to increase the contrast ratio according to multi-scale retinex theory which resembles human visual system. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better quantitative performance indexes such as PSNR, ambe & SSIM and better qualitative feature like halo artifact suppression.

We propose a new address-while-display (AWD) driving method to obtain a high contrast ratio and a wide driving margin which is composed of a short ramp reset period, a sustain period and an address period as the basic unit. The short ramp reset (SRR) pulse made it possible to assure the wide operating voltage margin and minimize the background luminance by redistributing the wall charges between address and scan electrode. As a result, a high dark room contrast ratio of 10000 to 1 could be obtained with a wide operating voltage margin of 40V for stable address.

MD (DLP, LCoS) Projection TV is appropriate for large screen display with high definition at a relatively low price and thus, has been popular in the digital TV market. In order to realize high resolutions in the DLP projection TV, we successfully developed the Pixel Enhancement Actuator. Furthermore, it is also required that the contrast ratio of projected video signals onto a large screen should be improved. Therefore, we propose a contrast enhancer which adjusts the amount of projected lights by a dynamic aperture and a attached position sensor.

본 연구를 통해서 대 면적, 저 전력 AMOLED 용용에 적합한 고 개구율 픽셀 보상회로와 이에 대한 구동회로를 제안하였다. 균일도는 다소 떨어지지만 안정성과 이동도가 뛰어난 저온 다결정 실리콘(LTPS) 박막 트랜지스터(TFT)를 기반으로 설계했다. 픽셀의 불량률을 낮추고 배면발광방식에 적합하도록 픽셀 보상회로를 보다 간단하게 개선하여 고 개구율 특성을 갖도록 했다. 제안하는 고 개구율 픽셀 보상회로는 일반적인 구동방식을 사용할 경우 명암비에서 큰 손해를 볼 수가 있으므로, 명암비를 높게 유지하기 위한 구동방식 및 구동회로를 제안하여 검증하였다. 이와 더불어 동영상 특성을 개선하기 위해 black data insertion 방식을 구현할 수 있도록 설계했다. 배면발광방식의 19.6" WXGA AMOLED 패널에 대해 설계했으며, 픽셀의 평균 개구율은 41.9%로 기존에 비해 8.9% 증가했다. TFT의 $V_{TH}$ 편차가 ${\pm}0.2\;V$일 때, 패널의 불균일도와 명암비는 각각 6% 이하와 10만:1 이상으로 예측되었다.
