In this study, Exit light installed in offices, malls, hospitals, and factories were analyzed to analyze the luminance performance of CCFL and LED light sources. In addition, fire protection products with electrical characteristics such as Exit light may change their performance due to ambient temperature, humidity, and dust. So it was extracted by installation place and analyzed its characteristics. As a result of the experiment, Exit light for CCFL type showed the value of 'ratio of luminance 2' for large, medium and small. Considering that the reference value was 'lower than 9', the value was very good and it can be seen that there is almost no change in ratio of luminance due to aging. The Exit light for LED type showed a value of 'ratio of luminance 5', which means that the light on the display surface is not uniform. In addition, there was almost no change in ratio of luminance due to ageing, but the ratio of luminance was larger than Exit light for LED type. This is an unsatisfactory result from a visual point of view. To improve this, it is necessary to disperse the light of LED light source and strengthen the regulation on ratio of luminance.

This study is the visually emotional identification lighting for easy to distinguish using 3colors LED on AtoN facility in shore and harbor, which have realized a controller for certainly express the mouth of a harbor by red light and green light of both sides a harbor and for synchronization at a time of right and left or serial sequential the harbor guidance light through synchronizer or timer by GPS. There is expectation effect that is prevent a confusion about distinguish of facility by ship's operator and to beautify a night scene of harbor, which is expressed to emotional identification lighting differ from great many lighting of harbor with variable color lighting the lighthouse body and vertical layer color lighting using LED. The function of AtoN is adapted that guidance light through synchronization or serial sequential lighting and display of harbor safety message by CW lighting, and this system is the power consumption greatly reduce by candle alternated high light LED.

With the growing number of people using bicycle, the number of bicycle accidents also has been increasing. It is said that bicycle accident can be reduced up to 11%~44% when riding a bicycle if LED light is used. The headlight of the bicycle makes exposure effect to the opposite side of bike rider while taillight makes exposure effect to the rear bike rider for improving safety. Bicycle safety device capable of displaying a change of direction by LED is implemented in this study in response to control button signal. This signal makes LED light which is installed in pedal and wheel of bicycle as a module type emitting or flickering during the fixed hour. Bicycle auxiliary device in pedal which is able to improve safety using LED when bikers are riding a bike at night is developed in this study. Bicycle safety device applying wireless communication technology will be expected alternative technology in the future to solve a social problem such as energy, environment, and safety.

The display, which is closely related to modern life, is being developed as a window on a network connecting individuals, devices, and even other individuals from simple display devices, as the IT industry develops. To achieve a thinner, brighter unit with less consumption for backlighting, the LED light source has applied, and the study of complex light-guiding plates to improve luminance, uniformity, and viewing angle has been initiated. In this paper, we summarize the research results for the scatterers' pattern formation of the light-guiding plate and the arrangement and composition of the light source, which have enabled remarkable development of the LED backlight unit over the last 10 years. In addition, a large-area flat-screen illumination system, applying the light-guiding-plate technology to a currently noteworthy LED light-fixture design, is outlined. Finally, we discuss the direction and way to develop the current technology more progressively.

In this paper, we propose the design of LED Streetlight Platform with capabilities of weather monitoring and color temperature control. Several previous works are focused on the energy efficiency or data management of streetlight system, but no work has been done on the lighting performance, especially when natural phenomenon such as fog or haze appears on the street and obstructs the visibility of drivers and pedestrians. To solve such issue, we propose the use of two LED lamps with different correlated color temperature, which will be activated interchangeably according to the condition on the street. We also present the design of communication scheme between each devices in the system. Moreover, our experimental results show the LED Streetlight Platform can perform well and the data can be displayed properly at the website.

The synchronous flash of a marine lantern, differentiated from the flash pattern of other risk indicators, supports the safe sailing of vessels. General marine lanterns flash according to the flash protocol through sensing the day and the night. Thus, there can be time error over time and the marine lantern does not synchronously flash as a whole. To resolve this problem, this study designed LED marine lantern based on constant-current system using synchronous flash technique enabling all marine lanterns to keep its time based on GPS satellite time. Also we suggested a radiation method with an effective heat emission performance in the restricted and closed space of a marine lantern.

이동 로봇의 자기 위치 인식 방법으로 GPS를 많이 이용하지만 건물 내부공간에서는 위성신호 수신 장애가 있기 때문에 GPS 사용이 어렵다. 이에 대한 대안으로 다양한 형태의 실내 측위 기술에 관한 연구가 진행되어왔다. 최근에는 WiFi를 이용한 방법이 일부 상용화 되고 있으나 정밀도가 3~5m라는 한계가 있으며, LED 조명을 이용한 방법은 실용화 단계에 이르지는 못했지만 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 당 연구실에서도 LED조명을 기반으로 한 실내위치 인식 시스템을 개발하였으며, 지난 연구에서는 이를 이용한 이동로봇의 자율주행을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 지난 연구에 덧붙여 두개의 수신부를 이용하여 로봇의 방향인식오류 개선 및 이동 로봇의 자율주행을 보여주고자 한다. 제시된 시스템은 이동로봇, 조명제어장치 그리고 컴퓨터로 구성된다. 이동로봇은 상용화된 마이크로 마우스에 탑재된 조명신호 수신장치를 통하여 자신의 위치와 방향을 감지하며, 컴퓨터와의 Wi-Fi 통신으로 자신의 위치를 컴퓨터에 전송하거나 위치 명령을 수신한다. 컴퓨터에서는 수신 받은 이동로봇의 위치를 실시간으로 화면에 표시하며, 이동로봇에 전달할 위치명령을 사용자가 입력하는 기능을 제공한다. 사용자가 이동경로를 설정한 후 이동로봇으로 명령을 보내면 로봇은 자신의 위치와 목적지를 비교하며 자율주행을 하게 된다. 실험을 통하여 확인한 결과 지난연구의 방향인식의 문제점이 해결되어 제시된 시스템으로 실내공간에서도 이동로봇의 자율주행이 원만히 이루어짐을 확인하였다.

Bicycles share the road where high speed cars run and driving license is essential to bicyclist. After sunset, accidents can be occurred due to changing one line to another line in a road inadequately and bicycle driving route changing without an alarm. In this paper, we apply the same system as an automatic signal lights system to prevent the accidents for bicyclist safety. Then, we verify it using proteus VSM simulation.

In this paper, we present a design of PWM-controlled driving device for backlights in LED systems. The system can control either the brightness of the entire screen of backlights of LCD driven by LED or illumination or contrast of each partial segment of the entire screen. The PWM-controlled driving device includes the shift register that shifts the series data according to the clock signal prior to the generation of parallel data. It is also is comprised of a number of registers, a number of counters, a number of comparators, and a number of synchronizing gates (producing the PWM-controlled signals). The proposed device for backlights in LED systems can generate the PWM-controlled signal with a high degree of resolution without the increase of clock frequency. It also contains the PWM-controlled circuit that disperses and restrains the quantized noise.
