This study aims to suggest practical considerations for designing protective clothing with increased visibility that will have higher user acceptance by law enforcement officers. Light-emitting diode(LED) patrol vests were visually and structurally assessed, and 125 police officers' responses from surveys about user acceptance of the vest were analyzed. The current LED patrol vest was designed for enhanced safety of police officers by increasing visibility in the dark. However, the user acceptance rate of the LED patrol vest indicates low use of and low satisfaction with the vest despite its enhanced safety features. In particular, differences in materials, design, functionality of the pockets and size of the vest depending on the hours worked, were statistically significant. The police officers' responses suggest areas of improvement in design, materials, ease of movement, size and functionality. Key issues include 'tactile discomfort'; 'impeded vision from the glare of the LED'; 'frequent malfunctions of the LED'; 'impossible repair of the broken LED units'; 'no user feedback'; 'inconvenient to replace batteries'; 'brittle materials' and 'unpleasing look'. To increase user acceptance, designer should incorporate context-awareness, a convenient user interface, a modular design approach, first responders' self-image as public servants in relation to their aesthetic perspectives of their uniforms, and scientific evaluation of the effectiveness of the intended functions of the clothing. Suggested implications for designing the LED patrol vest can be applied to designing other functional/protective clothing for intended end users with special needs.

최근 LED의 저전력, 장수명, 동작 속도, 제어성, 고품질의 색 연출성, 지속 가능성 등의 이유로, LED 응용 분야가 확대되고 있다. 그러나 고출력 LED 조명 시스템을 구현하는데 있어, 방열은 큰 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 고출력 투광등 설계를 위한 방열 방안으로 메탈 PCB 설계, 열전 소자, 히트 파이프, 방열판, 팬(fan) 등의 적층 연동 구조를 제안하고 구현 방안을 제시하였다. 아울러 본 논문에서는 RS-485 통신을 통한 DMX512 프로토콜 기반 LED 조명 시스템 제어 방안을 제시하였다. DMX512 프로토콜은 조명장치와 조명제어 모듈의 연결에 대한 사실상 세계적 표준이며 이를 활용한 무대 조명이나 경관 조명 시스템 개발이 지속적으로 이루지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 이용한 LED 조명 제어 및 응용 기술을 소개하고 주제어기를 무선으로 원격 제어하는 방안을 제안하였다.

최근 LED 디스플레이 시스템의 대형화에 따라서 시스템의 효과적인 전력 제어 방법에 대한 연구가 진행 중이다. 그 중에서 본 논문에서는 BLU(Backlight unit)시스템의 채널 별 LED 특성차에 기인한 전력 손실을 최소화하기 위한 전력 제어 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 전력 제어 기능을 갖는 LED 드라이버 IC는 전 채널의 정전류 동작이 가능한 최소 headroom 전압을 검출 후 DC-DC 컨버터 출력을 선형적으로 제어하여, 불필요한 추가 전압에 따른 전력 소모를 최소화 할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 채널 별 전압 감지 비교기와 기준 전압 생성 회로가 필요하지 않아서 집적 회로 구현시 칩사이즈 감소 및 안정화 측면에서 큰 장점을 갖는다. 제안된 전력 제어 기능 동작을 검증하기 위해서, DC-DC 내장형 전력제어 LED driver IC를 Cadence 및 Synopsys사의 Design Tool을 사용하여 설계하였으며, Magnachip 0.35um 5V/40V CMOS 공정을 사용하여 제작하였다. 제작된 IC실험을 통해서 제안된 전력 제어 방법이 BLU시스템의 최소 필요 전압을 정상적으로 제어함을 확인하였다.

There is a limit to technology of improving luminous intensity uniformity and glare, known as a weakness of existing LED lamp. Because of Using many LED, LED lamp not only waste energy but have bad effect on efficiency. Our goal is to develop security lights solution which is contented with suitable area in KS(Korean Industrial Standards) and to remove glare by combining asphere in optical system with different concept. To improve luminous intensity uniformity, a reflect mirror system was used after an aspheric optical system design for this study. We made a mirror and measured it after analysing luminance changes depend on aspheric shapes with simulation program to see if aspheric shapes effect luminance distribution. We made progress to find problems and improve them by comparing measured data and analysed data. This result of the study will contribute to industry of LED lighting through developing solution of emotional illumination of LED security lights by knowing the importance of reflectivity with this study and improving luminous intensity uniformity with solving the problem.

In this paper, we present thermal dependancy of LED package element by changing temperature of MCPCB for design high efficiency LED lamp, and confirmed influence of LED chip against temperature with analysis of thermal resistance and thermal capacitance. As increasing temperature, WPOs were decreased from 25 to 22.5 [%] and optical power were also decreased. that is decreased reason of optical power that forward voltage was declined by decrease of energy bandgap. Therefore optical power by temperature of MCPCB should consider to design lamp for street light and security light. Moreover, compensation from declined optical efficiency is demanded when LED package is composed. Also, thermal resistances from chip to metal PCB were decreased from 12.18 to 10.8[$^{\circ}C/W$] by changing temperature. Among the thermal resistances, the thermal resistance form chip to die attachment was decreased from 2.87 to 2.5[$^{\circ}C/W$] and was decreased 0.72[$^{\circ}C/W$] in Heat Slug by chaning temperature. Therefore, because of thermal resistance gap in chip and heat slug, reliability and endurance of high power LED affect by increasing non-radiative recombination in chip from heat.

In the LED lighting applications, because LED packages are the origin of heat generation, there are thermal design problem on heat sinks. In the thermal design, it is important to consider the total volume and the total weight of heat sink simultaneously. In this study, an Al 6063 heat sink was optimized using Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulation tool for the cooling of 30W LED module, and then the cooling performance and the total weight of heat sinks with Al 6063 and Thermal Conductive Polycarbonate(TCP) were compared under the same conditions. As the result of simulation, an Al 6063 heat sink was optimized with 22 ea. of fins and 1.6 mm of fin thickness. LED Junction Temperature of the TCP Heat Sink was $5.6^{\circ}C$ higher, but total weight of it was 47 % less than the Al 6063.

Currently, LED headlamps are only attached to newly manufactured vehicles, and it remains difficult to mount LED headlamps on used cars. Therefore LED headlamps need to be developed for used cars as a replacement of their halogen lamps. Due to a number of spatial limitations, it is critical to ensure a certain level of thermal performance. In order to obtain a design for efficient heat radiation, this paper aimed to optimize thermal management through a combination of heat sinks, heat pipes and fans. Based on such a design, this paper succeeded in developing LED headlamps of the desired performance to replace the halogen bulbs of used cars.

This study aims to design a zonal lumen for parking garage LED lightings of a slim appearance and 20 W/2,000 lm capacity and to fabricate a lighting luminaire accordingly. The frame is of a one-dimensional bar type with a reverse V-shaped section, with LED chips arranged along both sides. To maximize the $60^{\circ}$ to $80^{\circ}$ zonal lumen, the geometric structure was designed with the apex of the reverse V-shaped section at $40^{\circ}$ and both sides at $70^{\circ}$. As for the LED light source, focusing lenses with narrower full-width half-maximum (FWHM) in luminous intensity were used. A ray-tracing simulation method was utilized for the zonal lumen simulation of the given structure. An actual hardware of luminaire based on the simulation results was fabricated and characterized. The suggested model is meant to develop LED lightings with a proper level of zonal lumen required in parking garages.
