A liquid crystal display that does not use color filters is proposed. A backlight unit that employs compartmentalized RGB LED arrays and a lenticular lens array is used instead of the color filters in order to direct RGB LED lights into the RGB subpixels. A design of color-filterless LED backlight and experimental results are presented.

In this paper, we newly introduce a visible light communication (VLC) repeater using the LED array in an LED lamp. The LED array is used for a light source in the repeater, which radiates light both for illumination and data transmission. A VLC repeater is made by adding some electronic circuits to the LED array including a photodetector, a demodulator, and a modulator. The repeater is installed on the ceiling of a room like a conventional LED lamp, receives the VLC signal from an arbitrary transmitter, recovers data, and radiates the signal to wide area in the room. We used a carrier frequency of 100 kHz for the uplink from a transmitter to the repeater, and 500 kHz for the downlink from the repeater to a receiver. The repeater is useful for increasing the transmission path to wide area over the obstacles that may exist between VLC transmitters and receivers.

Recently, researches about the communication between LED array and the camera (alias 'Visual-MIMO'), have been actively conducted, and the application to the vehicle and a smart phone is expected to be maximized. Since the bit error may occur if the ISI is severe in a LED array, it is necessary to switch from the multiplexing to the diversity mode. In this paper, according to the use or not of a reference array pattern, a method for determining the transition time to the diversity mode is suggested and verified. When using the reference pattern, it determines the transition time to the diversity mode from the multiplexing using the brightness information of the received image. If the reference array pattern is not used, the size of LED array compared to the entire image according to the distance is used and the size of the LED array at the distance of a severe ISI may be used for the determination of transition time to the diversity. Finally, the proposed method is verified through the simulation and hardware experiments as well as by analyzing the performance in accordance with the ISI level and the distance.

400DPI LED array was fabricated by using reactive ion etching(RIE) method. Material of fabricated LED array was used the GaP for green light emitting and had a homojunction structure. Each cells of emitting area in the LED array were defined with RIE etching for electrical isolation between cells. Electrodes were formed on each cells to emit independently. Ohmic contact resistivity was approximate 1.2$\times$10$^{5}$ $\Omega$/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 1.26$\times$10$^{5}$ $\Omega$/$\textrm{cm}^2$ using isothermal annealing at 38$0^{\circ}C$ and 43$0^{\circ}C$. Emitting intensity of each etmitting cell was 1.65 cd/$m^2$.

Recently, research on the Visual-MIMO by applying the concept of MIMO to communication between the LED array and camera is in progress. Although we already introduced the method for bit decision by using reference LED array pattern, it has the disadvantage of measuring the ISI each time when there is a change in the distance. To overcome this, in this paper, we propose a bit decision and error correction method used by using the luminance deviation without using the reference array pattern. First, we execute the bit decision using experimentally determined threshold. Next, we execute the error checking on the ON-LED and make a correction only if it is found to be error. Correction is determined by using the value of brightness deviation corresponding to the range of 68.2% (1) around the maximum frequency of the histogram for each ON-LED. We verify the performance of the proposed method according to the variation of ISI with distance by using both numerical and experimental analysis.

A new rectangular shape microlens array having high sag for solid-state lighting is presented. Proposed microlens, which has high sag, over $375{\mu}m$ and large diameter, over 3 mm can enormously enhance output optical extraction efficiency. Rectangular shape of microlens can maximize the fill factor of light-emitting-diode (LED) package and minimize the optical loss at the same time. This wafer level microlens array is fabricated on LED package. It has many advantages in optical properties, low cost, high aligning accuracy, and mass production.

For the application of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for general illumination, the development of high power LEDs chips became more essential. For these reasons, recently, modified vertical LEDs have been developed to meet various requirements such as better heat dissipation, higher light extraction and less cost of production. In this research, we investigate the effect of Size and Array of N-GaN contact on operation voltage with new structured padless vertical LED. We changed the size and array of N-electrodes and investigated how they affect the operation voltage of LEDs. We simulated the current crowding and expected operation voltage for different N-contact structures with commercial LED simulator. Also, we fabricated the padless vertical LED chips and measured the electrical property. From the simulation, we could know that the larger size and denser array of n-electrodes could make operation voltage decrease. These results are well in accordance with those measured values of real padless vertical LED chips.

Instead of the incandescent lamps the LED lamps have been used on the traffic signal lamp with the advantages of small loss, no lens and long life. In this paper, we have compared three kinds of the LED controller structures and showed the LED array decision methods. We studied the temperature characteristics on LED and the temperature compensation network. The experimental results showed that the electrical characteristics of three kinds of the LED controller structures were different each other. We concluded that the temperature compensation is the important technique, the best compensation network has the ${\pm}10%$ variation for the luminous intensity.

Although LEDs have been used in various applications with improving the brightness and luminous efficacy, the electrical and optical characteristics of high power LED varies at different temperature and starting time. In this paper, optimal heat sink and apparatus design were conducted using IR camera and ICEPAK on the LED bulb consisting with fourteen LED array. The temperatures of heat sink and LED device of the designed LED bulb without cooling pan were $74^{\circ}C\;and\;96.8^{\circ}C$, respectively, showing in good themal characteristics. For high efficiency driving circuit of LED array adopted optimal heat sink design, driving circuits of constant voltage and current circuits were suggested and fabricated. As a result the efficacy of all driving circuits showed more than 20 lm/W. Also, the constant current circuits are suitable for signal lamp, hallway lamp, and flash lamp having short operating time(about 30 min). On the other hand, a reading light and indoor lamp having long operating time can be controlled by constant voltage circuit.
