  • This study is to investigate the stress distributions, crystal orientations and magnetic properties during die-upsetting according to working temperature of Nd-Fe-B-Cu alloys. The stress distributions in the specimens during compressing process were calculated by a finite element method program(SPID). The calculated stresses were effective stress (${\sigma}_{eff}$), compression stress(${\sigma}_z$), radial direction stress(${\sigma}_r$) rotational direction stress(${\sigma}_e$) and shear stress(${\tau}_{rz}$). The stress distributions of ${\sigma}_z$, obtained by a computer simulation showed that the stress components causing the magnetic alignment during die-upsetting of the cast magnets were very high at the center-part of a specimen, and decreased toward the periphery-part of a specimen. In view of the above results the magnetic properties should be better at the center-part of a specimen than any other parts. But the measured magnetic properties were better at the mid-part. These results should be due to the fact that the specimens were casted. Normally the magnetic properties are affected by the casting process as well as by the stress levels. ${\sigma}_r$, ${\sigma}_e$ are thought to affect the liquid phase flowing and domain patterns, respectively. The influence of ${\tau}_{rz}$ was trivial, ${\sigma}_{eff}$ distributed similar throughout the specimen. The Nd-rich phase appeared at the peripheral of the specimen where the stress level of ${\sigma}_r$, ${\sigma}_z$, was low or the stress level of ${\sigma}_e$ was high. The Nd-rich phase was squeezed out during die-upsetting. This phase had an effect on the crystal orientation and grain growth. The stress distributions of alloy were irregular at the parts of the specimen where the die contacted with specimen.

  • ZnO nanostructures have a lot of interest for decades due to its varied applications such as light-emitting devices, power generators, solar cells, and sensing devices etc. To get the high performance of these devices, the factors of nanostructure geometry, spacing, and alignment are important. So, Patterning of vertically- aligned ZnO nanowires are currently attractive. However, many of ZnO nanowire or nanorod fabrication methods are needs high temperature, such vapor phase transport process, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy, thermal evaporation, pulse laser deposition and thermal chemical vapor deposition. While hydrothermal process has great advantages-low temperature (less than $100^{\circ}C$), simple steps, short time consuming, without catalyst, and relatively ease to control than as mentioned various methods. In this work, we investigate the dependence of ZnO nanowire alignment and morphology on si substrate using of nanosphere template with various precursor concentration and components via hydrothermal process. The brief experimental scheme is as follow. First synthesized ZnO seed solution was spun coated on to cleaned Si substrate, and then annealed $350^{\circ}C$ for 1h in the furnace. Second, 200nm sized close-packed nanospheres were formed on the seed layer-coated substrate by using of gas-liquid-solid interfacial self-assembly method and drying in vaccum desicator for about a day to enhance the adhesion between seed layer and nanospheres. After that, zinc oxide nanowires were synthesized using a low temperature hydrothermal method based on alkali solution. The specimens were immersed upside down in the autoclave bath to prevent some precipitates which formed and covered on the surface. The hydrothermal conditions such as growth temperature, growth time, solution concentration, and additives are variously performed to optimize the morphologies of nanowire. To characterize the crystal structure of seed layer and nanowires, morphology, and optical properties, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) studies were investigated.

  • 액정표시소자의 광배향막으로 적용하기 위하여 올리고머 신나메이트와 폴리(비닐 신나메이트) (PVCi)의 블렌드를 이용하여 그루브 패턴을 형성하고 광배향 특성을 관찰하였다. UV-vis 스펙트럼 분광계를 이용하여 자외선 조사 시간에 따른 광반응 속도를 평가한 결과 올리고머 신나메이트는 폴리(비닐 신나메이트)에 비해 빠른 반응속도를 나타내었다. 폴리(비닐 신나메이트)를 주성분으로 하여 올리고머 신나메이트를 블렌드한 경우 반응속도가 약간 향상되는 특성을 확인하였다. 올리고머 신나메이트는 높은 결정성으로 인해 표면 그루브 패턴을 단독으로 형성할 수 없었지만 폴리(비닐 신나메이트)와의 블렌드를 통하여 그루브 패턴을 형성할 수 있었으며 그루브 패턴에서도 polar plot에 의해 분자 배향성을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 올리고머 신나메이트와 고분자계 신나메이트의 블렌드를 통하여 반응속도의 향상과 박막 구조의 패턴을 형성하기에 적합함의 확인을 통해 새로운 광배향막 재료로 적용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

  • The generation of pretilt angle in nematic liquid crystal (NLC) and electro-optical (EO) characteristics of photo-aligned twisted nematic (TN)-LCD with oblique P-polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on the two kinds of the soluble polyimide (PI) surfaces containing trifluoromethyl moieties were investigated. The generated pretilt angle of NLC is about 2.5$^{\circ}$with P-polarized UV light irradiation of 20$^{\circ}$on PI-3 surface at 20 min.; However pretilt angle of about 0.5$^{\circ}$are observed on PI-1 and PI-2 surfaces. The generated pretilt angle of NLC on PI-3 surface may be attributed to the trifluoromethyl moieties attached to the lateral benzene rings. The voltage-transmittance and response time characteristics of photo-aligned TN-LCD with P-polarized UV light irradiation of 20$^{\circ}$on PI-1 surface at 20 min were almost same in comparison with the rubbing-aligned TN-LCD. However, the high threshold voltage and slow response are observed on PI-3 surface. Also, the decay time $\tau$$\sub$d/ of photo-aligned TN-LCD is attributed to the anchoring energy of NLC.

  • Reactive mesogen (RM) is an organic liquid crystal molecule that can be self-aligned to have an optic axis of birefringence when coated over a polyimide alignment film. A free-standing optical wave-plate film consisting of RM and low-loss optical polymers was fabricated in this work, and the film was inserted across the polymer waveguide to form an integrated optical polarization converter. For convenient evaluation of the polarization converters, a waveguide polarizer and analyzer were fabricated in series. The polarization conversion efficiency was measured to be 25 dB for the wavelength range from 1520 to 1580 nm. The wave plate exhibited a temperature-dependent retardation of $4.5^{\circ}$ for a temperature change from 25 to $100^{\circ}C$.

  • The polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (poly-Si TFT) are the most promising candidate for active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCD) for their high mobilities and current driving capabilities. The leakage current of the poly-Si TFT is much higher than that of the amorphous-Si TFT, thus larger storage capacitance is required which reduces the aperture ratio fur the pixel. The offset gated poly-Si TFTs have been widely investigated in order to reduce the leakage current. The conventional method for fabricating an offset device may require additional mask and photolithography process step, which is inapplicable for self-aligned source/drain ion implantation and rather cost inefficient. Due to mis-alignment, offset devices show asymmetric transfer characteristics as the source and drain are switched. We have proposed and fabricated a new offset poly-Si TFT by applying photoresist reflow process. The new method does not require an additional mask step and self-aligned ion implantation is applied, thus precise offset length can be defined and source/drain symmetric transfer characteristics are achieved.

  • The electro-optical (EO) characteristics of the one-side rubbing twisted nematic (TN) - liquid crystal display (LCD) on the polyimide (PI) surface with one-side ion beam (IB) irradiation were successfully studied. The good LC alignment for the one-side rubbing TN-LCD on the PI surface with one-side IB irradiation was observed. The suitable transmittance-voltage curves for the one-side rubbing TN-LCD on the PI surface with one-side IB irradiation were measured. Also, the good response time characteristics of the one-side rubbing TN-LCD on the PI surface with one-side IB irradiation were measured. The fast response time can be achieved for the one-side rubbing TN-LCD on the PI surface with one-side IB irradiation.

  • New rod-disc liquid crystal (LC) molecule RD12 (12 is the number of carbon atoms between the rod and disc mesogenic liquid crystals) was synthesized via the chemical attachment of six cyanobiphenly calamitic mesogens linked to the triphenyl discotic mesogen with six alkyl chain linkage. Aligning characteristics associated with homogenous alignment is investigated at first and then field-dependent molecular reorientation under a vertical electric field is studied. Interestingly, they show abnormal slow molecular transition from initiate state (no electric field condition) to certain voltage. In this condition, we observe the molecular competition during reorientation. However, once a tilting direction of disk molecules are defined, the frustration is not observed anymore. The origin of this phenomenon is explained with a suggested model for the first time.

  • 광학 보상 휨 액정디스플레이(OCB-LCD)는 빠른 응답속도와 광 시야각 특성 때문에 응용 분야가 많다. 하지만 OCB-LCD는 초기에 splay 상태로 배열되어 있고 계조 구동은 bend 상태에서 이루어지기 때문에 초기 splay 상태에서 bend 상태로의 빠른 전이가 필요하다. 기존에 순간적으로 고전압을 인가하는 방식과 달리 본 연구에서는 임계 전압과 광경화성 반응성 단량체의 고분자화를 통한 표면 선경사각 형성으로 초기 상태부터 bend 상태를 갖는 OCB-LCD를 제조하였다. 제조된 액정 셀의 전기 광학적 및 전기적 특성을 분석한 결과 본 연구에서 제조된 셀은 기존 OCB 셀에 비해 고 선경사각으로 인한 고속응답 특성을 보여주었고 액정 단량체에 의해 형성된 배향막 위의 고분자 층 형성에 따른 잔류 DC 값은 0.1 V 보다 적었다.

  • VA Mode LC를 사용하는 Full-HD급 LCOS 마이크로디스플레이에서 셀 상하 간격의 변화에 따른 전기광학적 특성의 변화에 관하여 3차원 LC code를 이용하여 연구하였다. 5가지의 다른 셀 상하 간격 (1.4 ${\mu}m$, 1.8 ${\mu}m$, 2.1 ${\mu}m$, 2.4 ${\mu}m$ 그리고 2.8 ${\mu}m$)의 변화에 따라 Reflectance-Voltage 특성, 반사광 및 반사율 분포, Optical Fill Factor 그리고 명암비를 비교하였다. Surface Anchoring 효과에 의해 상하 간격이 증가하면서 반사율은 증가하였으나 Optical Fill Factor와 명암비를 고려할 경우, 중간 수준의 간격인 2.1 ${\mu}m$ 의 특성이 가장 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다. 동일한 구조를 갖고 있는 0.7 인치 LCOS 패널을 제작하여 광학적 측정을 해 본 결과 시뮬레이션 결과와 통일함을 확인할 수 있었다.
