Republic of Korea announced the reduction target to be around 30% of business as usual greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. College campuses were ranked at the 5th of high energy consumption areas in the building sectors. Target management scheme was designed to set greenhouse gas emissions target including several college campuses. Previous studies showed the amount of greenhouse gas emissions with several assumptions such as the applications of renewable energy systems and light emitting diode lamps, etc. Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning model was utilized to simulate future greenhouse gas emissions. This study sets standard model labs for energy saving action programs by applying guidance studies. It has been deduced that energy saving action programs was responsible for reducing 949.5 kWh for each standard model lab and the total reduction of all 59 model labs in the Engineering College building has been calculated to 56,020.5 kWh. The objective of the study is to provide guidelines on standard model laboratory for greenhouse gas emissions reduction on the campus.

The color stability and purity from OLED is of current interest. Aggregation of dyes alters the device color after fabrication of the devices. Exciplex and electroplex formations have been proposed to explain the aggregate color change. We investigate the possibility of exciplex formation and propose the new electroplex state that can cause the bathochromic shift of the electroluminescence spectrum from the devices with TPD/PBD layers. The photoluminescence maximum of the device was 420nm, and the electroluminescence maximum of the device to became 480nm. The bathochromic shift cannot be attained with photoluminescence study with highly concentrated TPD/PBD mixture. This clearly indicates that the 480nm spectrum of the devices is not resulted from the exciplex formation with TPD and PBD. We observed the overshoot in EL spectrum from the OLEDs. The most intense overshoot was observed at 460nm, which may be due to the aggregates that are formed after the electric field has been removed from the devices.

The effect of a-sexithiophene(${\alpha}-6T$) layers on the light emitting diode (LED) were studied. The ${\alpha}-6T$ was used for a buffer layer in electroluminescent (EL) devices. Enhanced carrier (hole) injection and improved emission efficiency were observed. Carrier injection characteristics were investigated as a function of ${\alpha}-6T$ later thickness. The efficiency of the electroluminescence was proportional to the thickness of ${\alpha}-6T$ layer. The highest efficiency was observed 600A of ${\alpha}-6T$ later, which was about 1.5 times higher than that of device without ${\alpha}-6T$ later. The device with a-6T showed an operation voltage lowered by 2V. The ${\alpha}-6T$ layer can substitute hole blocking layer, and control charge injection properties.

This study has attempted to investigate how subjects perceive changes of brightness and their visual comfort according to daylight responsive LED(Light Emitting Diode) dimming systems in the office with venetian blind. Two studies was conducted. First study is that how subjects perceive changes of brightness and their visual comfort depending on angle control method of the venetian blind while the workplane illuminance level is being maintained through daylight responsive LED dimming system. Second study is that how subjects perceive changes of brightness and their visual comfort depending on the amount of daylight penetrated into the building while the illuminance level is being maintained through daylight responsive LED dimming system. The results of this study could be proposed as basic data in the control of the venetian blind and LED lighting in consideration of their perception on changes of brightness and visual comfort.

Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) is promising candidate for fabricating blocking layer of gate dielectrics in non-volatile memory (NVM). In this work, we investigated $TiO_2$ as high dielectric constant material instead of silicon dioxide ($SiO_2$), which is generally used as blocking layer for NVM.

We have grown GaN layers with in-situ SiN mask by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and study the physical properties of the GaN layer. We have also fabricate PN junction light emitting diode (LED) to investigate the effect of the SiN mask on its optical property By inserting a SiN mask, (102) the full width at half maximum (FWHM) decreased from 480 arcsec to 409 arcsec and threading dislocation (TD) density decreased from $3.21{\times}10^9\;cm^{-2}$ to $9.7{\times}10^8\;cm^{-2}$. The output power of the LED with a SiN mask increased from 198 mcd to 392 mcd at 20 mA. We have thus shown that the SiN mask improved significantly the physical and optical properties of the GaN layer.

비정질 indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (a-IGZO)는 thin film transistor (TFT)에 적용되는 대표적인 active layer로써 높은 이동도를 갖고, 도핑 농도의 제어가 용이하며 낮은 온도에서도 대면적에 증착할 수 있는 특성을 가지고 있다. 특히 저온에서 대면적 증착이 가능한 장점을 갖고 있어 LCD 분야뿐만 아니라 다양한 분야에서 상용화하려는 연구가 시도되고 있다. a-IGZO를 구성하는 물질 중에 이동도에 중요한 역할을 미치는 In은 대표적인 투명전극물질인 indium-tin oxide (ITO)에서 고전류 구동에 의한 확산이 널리 알려져 이에 대한 증명과 개선을 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 보고된 결과에 따르면 device에 지속적인 구동 전압을 가했을 때 In이 유기층로 확산되어 organic light emitting diode(OLED)의 성능을 저하시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, a-IGZO에서도 고전류 구동에 의한 indium의 이동이 필수불가결하다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 a-IGZO TFT에 고전압 구동을 반복적으로 시행함으로써 발생하는 전기적 특성의 변화를 확인하였고, 동일한 소자의 전극과 채널 사이의 계면에서 In 분포를 energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS)로 관찰하여 In 분포와 전기적 특성 간의 상관관계에 대해 연구하였다.

The purpose of this work is to identify the characteristic of eye movement for visual training of the elderly. This investigation is to examine the relationship between the head and the eye motor system for the localization of visual target direction in three-dimensional space. All experiments were performed in a soundproof chamber. Twenty-one red LEDs (Light-Emitting Diode, Brightness: 20cd/$m^2$) arrayed in three lines on a half circle-surrounding panel are used. LEDs are horizontally 30 degree apart and vertically 20 degree apart from each other. The condition of stimulation is random and anti-saccade. Physiological parameter such as EOG (Electro-Oculography) was measured by BIOPAC system. We measure the mean latency time, which is the time from the start of visual stimulation to the response of the human body. The result shows that the mean latency time is short in the case of the condition of anti-saccade, the fixed head and a quarter visual stimulation. This finding can be used in developing programs for various visual improvements for the elderly by analyzing the characteristic of eye movement.

In this paper, light-emitting-diode (LED) backlight driving circuits and dimming method for medium-sized and large liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are proposed. The double loop control method, the intelligent-phase-shifted PWM dimming method, the fast-switching current regulator, and the current matching techniques are proposed to improve not only the current regulation characteristics and the power efficiency but also the current matching characteristics and the transient response of the LED current. The brightness of the backlight using the proposed local dimming method was determined from the histogram of the local block to reduce the power consumption of the backlight without image distortion. The measured maximum power efficiency of the LED backlight driving circuit for medium-sized LCDs was 90%, and the simulation results showed an 88% maximum power efficiency of the LED backlight driving circuit for large LCDs. The maximum backlight power-saving ratio of the proposed dimming method was 41.7% in the simulation with a high-contrast image. The experiment and simulation results showed that the performance of LEDs as LCD backlight units (BLUs) improved with the proposed circuits and method.
