This paper explains the design and fabrication of an inverter for LCD backlight using a multilayer piezoelectric transformer. That inverter is operated by the burst dimming method whose dimming signal is controlled by the duty ratio of rectangular switching signal to a PWM controller. The brightness of CCFL's are investigated according to the various dimming signals, and when those CCFL's are turned on, the temperature distributions on the piezoelectric transformer and circuit components of the inverter are also investigated by a thermo-camera.

In this paper, we propose an improved contrast control method f9r image improvement of multi-gray scale image. The proposed contrast control method can improve contrast of image by changing gradient of weight as the type of input image. In addition, the proposed method does not require field and frame memory for large amount of computed data. And, the proposed method can be easily applied to the FPD fur real-time processing because of its less hardware complexity than that of the conventional methods. Also it can flexibly control the contrast of input gray level by varying the weight values that control the contrast range. The operation and performance of the proposed controller have been verified using computer simulation.

A lot of research for system-on-panel(SOP) have been done to integrate display systems including data driver, gate driver, timing controller, DC-DC converter, and smart functions such as embedded touch screen, ambient brightness sensing and luminance control, finger printing on the glass. Recently, the cost of an one-chip driver IC with various functions has decreased rapidly, and new mobile display interface technologies have been introduced. So it is necessary to examine the feasibility of SOP for practical mobile applications. In this paper, we will re-examine LTPS technologies for mobile displays in terms of various aspects and discuss the practical limitations on SOP technology and future technology trend of mobile displays.

There are no products, systems to manage health and detect security for infant, the old and the weak in Korea. Recently, the concerns of parents are increasing more about all of children(baby, infant, etc) because rate of birth is decreasing gradually. Also, the average span of human life is on an increasing trend according to well-being and evolution of medical treatment. Therefore, this treatise analyzed problems in managing and following-up infant, the old and the weak at present. By using TRIZ to solve problems, we devised new conceptional ideas, detail designs to manage health, detect security, cope with correspondences for them and developed the prototype and tested it. Excellent performances are proved through various field test.

본 논문에서는 차량거리 제어장치를 구성하는 능동적인 안전장치 개발의 도구로써 선진국에서 선박 및 항공기에 이미 상용화되고 있는 이른바 Head-up display(HUD)를 차량에 도입, 차량정보 Monitoring System을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 차량에 도입하고자 하는 HUD의 개념은 차량 운전자의 전면 대시 보드 상에 디스플레이를 위치시켜 운전자 전면의 도로시야와 차량정보를 동시에 획득하여 안전도 및 편의성을 높이고자 하는 것이다. 그러나 디스플레이 정보가 맺히는 상이 놓이는 위치 때문에 기존의 HUD는 외부의 밝은 광 아래에서 선명한 정보를 얻기가 매우 어렵다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 광제어 필름, 빔 스플리터 등을 이용해 결상면에 코팅처리를 하였으며, 좀 더 고성능의 광원을 확보하고, 미러부의 각도변경 및 LCD의 투과율을 증대하였다. 그 결과 기존의 제품 보다 매우 높은 시인성을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper shows a new concept of digital power meter based on the optical sensing technique. The digital power meter with isolate IC so called Photocoupler is designed and implemented. The system composed of power and analong interface circuits, micro-controller and LCD display circuits. The most errors in power meter happen on measurement and calculation process for load voltages and currents. The suggested method on this paper is to use no noise sensor and PIC microprocessor. The results of simple test for power meter prototype are showed a nearly similar date to commercial product.

In this paper, we developed an integrated miniaturized device which acquires and transmits the signal of ECG an interested heartbeat and body's temperature and humidity. Using an amplifier circuit on the electrodes and the radio frequency transmission, the developed system dispenses with the use of cables among the electrodes, amplifier, and the post processing system. The sensor signals are transmitted to the RF-wireless terminal that was developed using the micro controller Aduc812, LCD, RF-module (frequency 424MHz, 9600-bps). In results, the developed system improves not only the signal-to-noise ration in dynamic ECG & and body's temperature and humidity measurement, but also the user convenience.

This project presents a concept of mobile robots using prototypes, computing proposal oriented to embedded systems implementation. We implement our system using GPS module, Ultrasonic sensor(range sensors), H-bridge dual stepper control, DTMF(Dual-tone Multi-Frequency ) and LCD module. In this paper we construct a mechanical simple mobile robot model, which can measure the distance from obstacle with the aid of sensor and should able to control the speed of motor accordingly. Modules were interfaced with FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) controller for hardware implementation.

In this paper, we proposed the implementation of software-based 2D BitBLT engine on the pSOS operating system and the operation of the BitBLT engine on patient monitoring device was verified. To verify the proposed method on the patient monitoring device, we designed prototype PCB board, and verified the operation. We designed the motherboard by using ARM9-based CPU. Because hardware-based BitBLT module was replaced with software-based one, CPU load problem was weighted. To solve this problem, w changed 400Mhz processor instead of 200Mhz processor. We implemented 2D BitBLT kernel module as a device driver which is one of the key elements of a graphics controller GUI in patient monitoring device.
