It is bringing out the importance of automated LCD testing equipment that satisfy a definite quality, confidence and testing speed, as LCD enterprises are recently expanding the production and facility investment in proportion to the sudden increase of LCD demand. So far, LCD inspection is however conducted by manual, or the confidence of existing testing equipment falls short of LCD enterprises's standard. It is therefore important to develop the testing equipment that determines the quality of product for production of an excellent LCD.

Currently, most of TDIS(Train Destination Indicator System) is operated colored-LED type equipment in Korea. This current LED type TDIS equipment has not graceful display and causes passenger's fatigues because of the LED module inherent characteristics as a display light source, high power consumption, high operating and maintenance costs, and et al. To address these several, we are developed new colored-LCD type TDIS equipment. According to our developed new TDIS equipment, we can achieve high resolution and graceful color stone of information display. Thus high graded service are able to provide to passengers. In addition, LCD module decreases power consumption, and it can be used permanently by changing only backlight in comparison with conventional equipment. Therefore we can decrease the maintenance cost and extend durability-period of TDIS equipment using new equipment.

Objectives: This study analyzed the local exposure levels of radiation emitted from the equipment with soft X-ray ionizers to investigate the radiation exposure levels in Liquid Crystal Display(LCD) manufacturing processes. Methods: This study measured the local radiation levels for the equipment installed in two LCD manufacturing companies. The equipment were installed at diverse processes and equipped with various number of ionizers. The local radiation levels were measured on the surface of the equipment by using direct reading equipment, and the measurements were converted into annual effective dose by considering the radiation exposure time of workers. Statistical analyses were performed to investigate the radiation exposure characteristics. Results: Annual effective doses for 97.6% of the equipment being measured were less than 1 mSv. However, the range of annual effective doses was 0.004 mSv ~ 2.167 mSv, which indicated a large variation among the equipment. Statistical analyses of the study found that this large variation was raised due to improper shielding of the equipment rather than process and/or equipment characteristics. To pinpoint the cause of this large variation in annual effective dose, this study improved the shielding of the equipment being radiated over 1 mSv and found that their average effective dose was reduced from 1.604 mSv to 0.126 mSv after shielding improvement. Conclusions: Relatively high exposure levels of radiation were observed in some equipment where their shielding were insufficiently thick and/or sealed. This finding implies that the shielding of the equipment is an important engineering countermeasure to control the radiation exposure levels in industries.

Mobile용 TFT-LCD는 근거리에서, 세밀한 관찰 작업용으로 사용되는 경우가 많아 높은 수준의 품질관리가 요구되고 있으나, 높은 휘도값, 큰 휘도편차, 높은 검사 정밀도 등의 특징을 가지고 있어 동일한 검사기준을 적용하여도 작업자 혹은 제조라인에 따라 판단의 차이가 있으며 정량적인 품질관리가 어렵다. 또한, 다품종 대량생산 추세에 따라 검사 속도, 작업자의 피로도, 검사 시야의 한계 등 육안검사의 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문은 Mobile용 TFT-LCD 화면의 품질관리 및 검사기준과 동일한 기준에 의거하여 현장에 적용하기 쉬운 탁상형의 Mobile용 TFT-LED 화면 검사 장비를 개발하였다. 그리고 개발된 장비를 사용한 실험에서, 육안검사에 비하여 개선된 결과를 기반으로 안정적이고 수치화된 Mobile용 TFT-LCD 화면 품질 검사의 표준화 가능성을 제시한다.

본 논문에서는 고성능 모바일 TFT LCD/OLED 모듈(이하, 모듈)을 위한 헨드헬드 검사장비를 제안한다. 기존 모듈 검사장비는 명멸현상을 구분하기 위해선 동영상 데이터를 모듈에 출력시켜 구분할 수 있으나, 저속 시스템으로는 불가능하다. 또한 기존 검사장치는 저속의 CPU와 FPGA 시스템에서 필요한 몇 가지의 기능을 IP로 설계하고 사용하기 때문에 시스템의 한계를 지니고 있다. 이에 제안한 시스템은 고성능 모바일 모듈을 위한 검사장비로 다양한 크기의 모듈을 H/W나 FPGA의 설계 변경 없이 검사 장비를 휴대하여 여러 가지 부가기능들을 동시에 확인할 수 있다. 시스템은 크게 헨드헬드 검사장비와 내장된 테스터 소프트웨어, 정밀 분석을 위한 PC기반의 소프트웨어로 구성되며, USB 인터페이스 하여 헨드헬드 검사장비의 모든 모듈 테스트 내용을 확인, 저장, 출력 할 수 있도록 설계되어 있다. 제안된 시스템의 유효성 검증은 현장에서 사용하는 9가지의 대표 항목으로 설정하여, 고성능 모바일 TFT LCD/OLED에서 중요한 명멸현상에 대한 풀 프레임 동영상 구동시 별도의 모듈 없이 확인이 가능하였고, 기타 스캔타임 설정, 감마설정, 레지스터 변경, 인터페이스 지원, 다 인치 모듈지원 등이 가능하였다.

We studied liquid crystal (LC) alignment with ion beam (IB) on polyimide and electro-optical characteristics of twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) on the polyimide surface using obliquely ion beam (IB) exposure with new IB type equipment. A good uniform alignment of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment with the ion beam exposure on the polyimide surface was observed. In addition, it can be achieved the good EO properties of the ion-beam-aligned TN-LCD on polyimide surface. Also, the EO characteristics of the ion-beam-aligned TN-LCD on a polyimide (PI) surface with ion beam exposure using new type IB equipment is same or more superior than ion-beam-aligned TN-LCD on a polyimide (PI) surface with ion beam exposure using Kaufman-type Ar ion gun.

The bonding process of LCD panel is attaching an inner lead to an outer lead in the production line of LCD panel module. It is composed of an OLB process and a PCB bonding process. Since bonding tool assembly is one of the core parts of the bonding equipment that determines the durability and performance of the final product, much design efforts to enhance uniformity and efficiency of the process have been made. In this paper, FE analyses have been employed to determine the bonding tool size. Bonding tool of long bar shape has been simplified as a piece with same heater pitch, and appropriate boundary conditions such as convection and radiation are considered. Thermal analysis results by the FEM have been validated by the experiments. With the use of FE analysis varies design parameters and the corresponding effects have been evaluated. It was observed that the approach presented in this paper could be employed for the design of LCD module bonding tool.

The large size and high brightness backlight system for LCD panel inspection equipment was designed, fabricated, and evaluated. The cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) instead of the hot cathode fluorescent lamp (HCFL) were used as the light source. The inverters for driving multi-lamp CCFL backlight systems were also designed and fabricated. The measured luminance of the fabricated CCFL backlight system was 20,000 cd/$m^2$ and the uniformity of the backlight was 85%. The fabricated backlight system was successfully applied to the LCD panel inspection equipment.
