LCD는 BLU를 통해 빛을 공급받고 공급 받은 빛은 각각의 칼라필터에 의해 색을 부여받으며 상판과 하판 glass 사이의 액정을 제어함으로서 빛의 양을 조절한다. 하지만 액정의 구조적 물리적 특성상 빛을 완벽히 차단하는 것은 현재 불가능하므로 광학 sheet와 액정을 통과하면서 많은 양의 손실을 겪게된다. 이는 에너지 효율과도 관련이 있으며 더 나아가 Contrast에도 큰 영향을 미치게 되어 다른 디스플레이 장치에 비해 Contrast ratio가 상당히 낮아질 수 있다. 이에 따른 해결 기술이 많이 개발되고 있으나 근본적인 해결책이 될 수 없었다. 그 중 한가기 예가 LCD에 적용되는 Dimming 기술로서 본 논문은 소비전력을 감소시키면서 영상의 화질을 적절히 표현하기 위하여 LCD의 광원으로 사용되는 LED BLU에서 분할구동(Local Dimming)을 하기위해 요구되는 영상처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘은 고속 신호처리가 가능한 FPGA를 이용하여 영상신호로부터 분할된 영역의 최대 밝기신호를 추출하고, BLU의 분할된 영역을 추출된 밝기로 개별 점등하는 동시에 분할영역의 밝기에 상응하는 영상신호를 생성 LCD Panel에 공급함으로써 명암비가 향상된 영상을 표현한다.

Epifluorescence microscopy with image analysis was evaluated as a biofilm quantification method (i.e., quantification of surface area colonized by biofilms), in comparison with crystal violet (CV) staining. We performed different experiments to generate multispecies biofilms with natural and artificial bacterial assemblages. First, four species were inoculated daily in 16 different sequences to form biofilms (surface colonization, 0.1%-56.6%). Second, a 9-species assemblage was allowed to form biofilms under 10 acylase treatment episodes (33.8%-55.6%). The two methods comparably measured the quantitative variation in biofilms, exhibiting a strong positive relationship (R² ≥ 0.7). Moreover, the two methods exhibited similar levels of variation coefficients. Finally, six synthetic and two natural consortia were allowed to form biofilms for 14 days, and their temporal dynamics were monitored. The two methods were comparable in quantifying four biofilms colonizing ≥18.7% (R² ≥ 0.64), but not for the other biofilms colonizing ≤ 3.7% (R² ≤ 0.25). In addition, the two methods exhibited comparable coefficients of variation in the four biofilms. Microscopy and CV staining comparably measured the quantitative variation of biofilms, exhibiting a strongly positive relationship, although microscopy cannot appropriately quantify the biofilms below the threshold colonization. Microscopy with image analysis is a promising approach for easily and rapidly estimating absolute quantity of multispecies biofilms.

CMR Materials RE/sub 1-x/Ca/sub x/MnO₃(RE=La, Nd, A=Ca, Sr) were grown using the floating zone image furnace with halogen lamps as heat source. The growth condition was at 2∼10 mm/hr growth rate in air atmosphere, were 445∼50 rpm and 20∼25 rpm of rotation rate of feedrod and growing crystal, respectively. The grown crystals showed shiny black color and annealed at 1500℃ in a box furnace to release the residual stress during cooling. Characterization analyses of the crystal were carried out using XRD and SEM. The crystal structure of Nd/sub 0.7/Ca/sub 0.3/MnO₃ was analyzed with smart CCD XRD was lattice parameter of a=5.425(4)Å, b=5.434(4)Å, and c=7.712(5)Å, an orthorombic system with space group of pbnm.

The study of swirling flow is of technical and scientific interest because it has an internal recirculation field, and its tangential velocity is related to the curvature of streamline. The fluid flow for tubes and elbow of heat exchangers has been studied largely through experiments and numerical methods, but studies about swirling flow have been insufficient. Using the particle image velocimetry(PTV) method, this study found the time averaged velocity distribution with swirl and without swirl along longitude sections and the results appear to be physically reasonable. In addition, streamwise mean velocity distribution was compares with that of other. Furthermore, other experimental investigation was performed to study the characteristics of turbulent water flow in a horizontal circular tube by using liquid crystal. 2D PIV technique is employed for velocity measurement and liquid crystal is used for heat transfer experiments in water. Temperature visualization was made quantitatively by calibrating the colour of the liquid crystal versus temperature using various approaches.

An experimental investigation was performed to study the characteristics of laminar water flow in a horizontal circular tube by using liquid crystal. A simultaneous measurement technique has been employed to measure the velocity field in a two-dimensional cross section of fluid flow. This study found the velocity distributions for Re = 1,594 ~ 2,510 along longitudinal sections and the results appear to be physically reasonable. To determine some characteristics of the laminar flow, 2D PIV technique is employed for velocity measurement by using liquid crystal in water. The experimental rig was manufactured from an acryle tube. The test tube diameter of 25mm, and a length of 1200mm. The used algorithm is the gray level cross-correlation method by using Kimura et al. in 1986.

The most important parameter for TV application of LCD is a fast switching time for the display of moving image. To achieve faster switching time, the novel LC single materials with large dielectric anisotropies ($16{\sim}20$), high clearing temperatures ($195.5{\sim}237.4^{\circ}C$), broad nematic ranges (up to 169.9 $^{\circ}C$) and high birefringence ($0.254{\sim}0.2200$) were developed. KUR-series LC mixtures blended these single materials having significantly higher clearing temperatures and dielectric anisotropy values compared with conventional LC mixture. Especially, their clearing temperatures are $10{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ higher than their host mixture. These LC mixtures showing about lOms of high-speed switching time in Tv/Monitor of TFT LCD, is short enough to be addressed in a single time frame of 60Hz (16.7 ms). The threshold voltage $V_{th}$ was low enough to operate at a driving voltage of 5 V. The VHR values were found to be high enough for TFT-LCD in wide temperature range. Our novel LC mixtures are suitable materials for the inclusion in to LC mixtures for TV application of TN-LCD

The origin of image-sticking in metal-insulator-metal type thin-film diode liquid crystal displays(TFD-LCDs) is the asymmetric current-voltage(I-V) characteristic of TFD element. We developed that TFD-LCDs have reduced-image-sticking. Tantalum pentoxide(Ta$_2$O$\sub$5/) is a candidate for use in metal-insulator-metal(MIM) capacitors in switching devices for active-matrix liquid crystal displays(AM-LCDs). High quality Ta$_2$O$\sub$5/ thin films have been obtained from anodizing method. We fabricated a TFD element using Ta$_2$O$\sub$5/ films which had perfect current-voltage symmetry characteristics. We applied novel process technologies which were postannealed whole TFD element instead of conventional annealing to the fabrication. One-Time Post-Annealing(OPTA) heat treatment process was introduced to reduce the asymmetry and shift of the I-V characteristics, respectively. OPTA means that the whole layers of lower metal, insulator, and upper metal are annealed at one time. Futhermore, in this paper, we discussed the effects of top-electrode metals and annealing conditions.

This study is to investigate the heat transfer characteristics the for a round turbulent jet impinging on the flat plate with and without rib. Liquid crystal/transient method was used to determine the Nusselt number distributions along the surface. The temperature on the surface was measured using liquid crystal and a digital color image processing system. The experiments were made fur the jet Reynolds number (Re) 23,000, the dimensionless nozzle-to-surface distance (L/d) from 2 to 10, and the rib type [height ($d_1$) 2mm, pitch (p) from 12 to 36mm]. It was found that for $L/d{\ge}6$ the average Nusselt numbers on the flat plate with rib type C ($p/d_1=16$) are higher than those without rib, mainly due to an increase in the turbulent intensity caused by flow separation, recirculation and reattachment on the wall surface.
