TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) module is representative commercial product of FPD(Flat Panel Display). Thickness of TFT-LCD module is very thin. It is adopted for major display unit for IT devices such as Cellular Phone, Camcorder, Digital camera and etc. Due to the harsh user environment of mobile IT devices, it requires complicated structure and tight assembly. And user requirements for the mechanical functionalities of TFT-LCD module become more strict. However, TFT-LCD module is normally weak to high level transient mechanical shock. Since it uses thin crystallized panel. Therefore, anti-shock performance is classified as one of the most important design specifications. Traditionally, the product reliability against mechanical shock is confirmed by empirical method in the design-prototype-drop/impact test-redesign paradigm. The method is time-consuming and expensive process. It lacks scientific insight and quantitative evaluation. In this article, a systematic design evaluation of TFT-LCD module for mobile IT devices is presented with combinations of FEA and testing to support the optimal shock proof display design procedure.

Technophobia is described as the 'abnormal fear or anxiety about the effects of advanced technology', affecting one third of the population, causing health problems and the inability to work efficiently. The development of the mobile phone, both in its design process and its following socioeconomic success, has a prominent effect on our society in general; this point will be explicated in this paper. The negative effects of these developments have also been assessed with questionnaire-based interviews, focus groups and media analysis in order to focus on those who are most susceptible to the effects of technophobia, to discover the possible causes and to develop a solution for overcoming the phobia. The findings of the literature review and empirical research have been debated; the results proved inconclusive. All age and sex and groups displayed levels of anxiety around technology. Therefore, designers cannot afford to abandon these individuals in the future, and attention should be directed into inclusive product design. Therefore, various solutions have been suggested for support for these sufferers, such as tuition and bespoke, 'built to specification' mobile phones.

In this study, we investigated the impact of the information richness and reachness on the mobile purchasing and the moderating effect of individual characteristics. We examined the information richness and reachness through SNS information and Push notification of smartphone, respectively. As the moderating variables, we adopted customer's value orientation and innovativeness. In the main-effect model with no moderating variable, both of information richness and reachness showed significant effects on the perceived value of products and purchasing channel. Especially, the impact of information richness was more significant on product awareness, while the impact of information reachness was more significant on channel awareness. In the interaction-effect model with moderating variables, customer's value orientation showed significant moderating effect on the impact of perceived product value. However, customer's innovativeness did not show the significant moderating effect on the impact of perceived channel value. It implies that the impact of information reachness applies to the majority of customers, regardless of her [his] innovativeness. Therefore the organizations might be able to use Push notification to activate the customer's mobile purchasing.

Nowadays, it is not unusual to buy and sell goods, service and information through the internet. As a result of rapid development of Information Technology(IT), business through the internet can be done without time Limitations, place restrictions and product limitations. However, internet shopping has been restricted a lot due to the need for physical connections to the internet in order to search for information and order what we want, and this is one of the biggest problems to the busy people of the 21st century. Therefore it is very natural to use mobile phones to do shopping through wireless internet easily and conveniently whilst on the move. The purpose of this research is to find out characteristics of mobile phone users in UK, Japan and Korea and 1) main aims of the mobile phone use, 2) reasons for ease of use of mobile phones, 3) favourite types of a mobile phone, 4) psychological stability of mobile phone users, 5) problems of mobile phone use, 6) purchase goods/services via mobile phone in the future. The research method used is questionnaire survey The research results will suggest how to take actions to promote mobile commerce in the future.

This paper deals with the difficulties involved in analyzing and designing a management system to reduce the risks and improve the productivity of new product development. In this paper, a method is described to analyze user information and determine product specifications based on a stimulus-response model, the conjoint measurement of users needs, and product characteristics deployment. The proposed method can analyze the effect of a partial price on the contribution ratio based on the order of preference of product profiles through a smaller number of product profiles. The strengths and weaknesses of this method are examined as the method is applied to the case study of a mobile computer intended for personal use.

Purpose: In this paper, we developed a reliability index (RI) to efficiently compare reliability of products based on the design, development and production information such as reliability tests, quality, product life-cycle management. RI also can be applied to reliability prediction of a novel product as well as comparison evaluation among existing products. Methods: For evaluating RI, we proposed evaluation process which is composed of five steps. Target modules are selected based on warranty data and correlation analysis. Scores of selected target modules are calculated by scoring function. Finally, weights of RI model are determined by optimization method. Results: This paper presented an empirical analysis based on failure data of mobile devices. In this case study, we demonstrated that there is a direct correlation between evaluated RI and field failure probability of each product. Conclusion: We proposed the index for comprehensive and effective assessment of product reliability level. From the procedure of this study, we expected to be applied for reliability estimation of novel products and deduction of field failure-related factors.

PST는 제품 컨설팅을 위해 제품 카탈로그를 시스템화 한 것으로 대다수의 모바일 PST(Premium Sales Tool)는 DA(Dynamic Allocation)기법을 사용한다. 그러나 모바일 기기는 수용할 수 있는 자원이 한정되어 있어 고해상도의 콘텐츠를 연속적으로 질의 할 경우 요청한 리소스가 대기상태로 쌓여 CPU의 과부하가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사용자의 제스처에 따라 페이지 할당과 해제를 주기적으로 제공함으로써 부하 발생에 대한 문제를 개선하여 향상된 PST 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 구현한 시스템의 성능을 테스트 한 결과 기존 DA 기반 시스템 보다 제안한 PA(Pattern Allocation) 기반 시스템이 페이지 할당과 해제 빈도수에 대한 부하가 평균 약 78%의 감소율을 보였으며, CPU 점유율은 평균 약72% 감소한 것을 확인하였다.
