In this paper, we propose an image generator for OLED panel test that can compensate for color coordinates and luminance by using panel defect inspection and optical measurement while displaying images on OLED panel. The proposed image generator consists of two processes: the image generation process and the process of compensating color coordinates and luminance using optical measurement. In the image generating process, the panel is set to receive the panel information to drive the panel, and the image is output by adjusting the output setting of the image generator according to the panel information. The output form of the image is configured by digital RGB method. The pattern generation algorithm inside the image generator outputs color and gray image data by transmitting color data to a 24-bit data line based on a synchronization signal according to the resolution of the panel. The process of compensating color coordinates and luminance using optical measurement outputs an image to an OLED panel in an image generator, and compensates for a portion where color coordinates and luminance data measured by an optical module differ from reference data. To evaluate the accuracy of the image generator for the OLED panel test proposed in this paper, Xilinx's Spartan 6 series XC6SLX25-FG484 FPGA was used and the design tool was ISE 14.5. The output of the image generation process was confirmed that the target setting value and the simulation result value for the digital RGB output using the oscilloscope matched. Compensating the color coordinates and luminance using optical measurements showed accuracy within the error rate suggested by the panel manufacturer.

유기박막트랜지스터(OTFT)는 지난 십 수년 간 개발되어 상용화의 단계에 도달하여 우선적으로 플렉시블 디스플레이에 적용될 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 EPD와 OLED의 구동소자로서 OTFT를 사용한 플렉시블 디스플레이 패널 제작에 대해서 살펴본다. EPD와 OLED는 소자의 구조와 특성이 다르기 ��문에 OTFT 어레이와 집적화 시 고려해야 할 요소들도 다르다. EPD는 문턱전압이 없으므로 스위칭 소자로서 OTFT가 반드시 필요하다. 또한 전압구동소자이고 동작이 느리기 ��문에 OTFT의 이동도가 $0.01cm^2/V.sec$ 이상만 되어도 사용 가능하고 쌍안정 소자임에도 불구하고 저장 캐패시터를 사용하여야 한다. 그리고 OTFT 패널과 EPD 패널을 상호 부착해야 하므로 OTFT 어레이에 영향을 주지 않는 중간층이 중요한 요소이다. OLED는 전류구동소자이므로 OTFT의 이동도가 최소 $0.1cmcm^2/V.sec$ 이상이어야 하고, OTFT 어레이와 동일한 패널을 사용하므로 제조 공정의 호환성이 필수 요건이다.

OLED has good efficiency of power consumption by having no power consumption from black color as different with LCD. when it has white color, all RGB pixel should be glowing with high power consumption and that can make it has short life time. This paper suggest the way of low power consumption for OLED panel using adaptive luminance enhancement with color compensation and implement it as hardware. This way which is based on luminance information of input image makes converted luminance value from each pixel in real time. There is with using the basic idea of chromaticity reduction algorithm, showing new algorithm of color correction. And performance of proposed method was confirmed by comparing the conventional method in experiments about 48.43% current reduction. The proposed method was designed by Verilog HDL and was verified by using OpenCV and Windows Program.

Image generation models have been applied in various fields to overcome data sparsity, time and cost issues. However, it has limitations in generating images from regular pattern images and detecting defects in such data. In this paper, we verified the feasibility of the image generation model to generate pattern images and applied it to data augmentation for defect detection of OLED panels. The data required to train an OLED defect detection model is difficult to obtain due to the high cost of OLED panels. Therefore, even if the data set is obtained, it is necessary to define and classify various defect types. This paper introduces an OLED panel defect data acquisition system that acquires a hypothetical data set and augments the data with an image generation model. In addition, the difficulty of generating pattern images in the diffusion model is identified and a possibility is proposed, and the limitations of data augmentation and defect detection data augmentation using the image generation model are improved.

OLED는 두 개의 전극 사이에 유기물층을 배열하고 전계를 가하여 주입된 전자와 정공이 유기물 내에서 재결합하여 형성되는 여기자가 기저상태로 떨어지면서 빛을 내는 소자이다. 최근 OSRAM, Philips, LG화학, Panasonic 등의 기업에서 매우 우수한 특성을 보이는 OLED 패널 광원을 발표하고 있어 가까운 장래에 예전에 볼 수 없던 디자인의 OLED 조명이 일반조명 시장에 나올 것으로 예상됨에 따라 표준화 활동도 활발해지고 있다. OLED 조명은 기존 조명과 형태 및 특성이 다르기 때문에 기존 조명의 규격 사항을 그대로 적용할 수 없으며, 새로운 OLED 조명 표준 제정은 필수이다. 또한 국제표준화기구의 인증 마크의 유무는 자사 제품의 우수성과 안전성을 홍보하는 수단이고 해외로 진출하기 위해서는 해외의 주요 인증 획득이 필수적인 요소이므로 올바른 OLED 조명 표준 제정과 시험 방법 정립을 통하여 OLED 조명 제품의 국내외 신뢰를 확보하는 데 노력해야 할 것이다.

Flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays with organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) backplanes have been studied. A gate driver is required to drive the OLED display. The gate driver is integrated into the panel to reduce the manufacturing cost of the display panel and to simplify the module structure using fabrication methods based on low-temperature, low-cost, and large-area printing processes. In this paper, pseudo complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic gates are implemented using OTFTs for the gate driver integrated in the flexible OLED display. The pseudo CMOS inverter and NAND gates are designed and fabricated on a flexible plastic substrate using inkjet-printed OTFTs and the same process as the display. Moreover, the operation of the logic gates is confirmed by measurement. The measurement results show that the pseudo CMOS inverter can operate at input signal frequencies up to 1 kHz, indicating the possibility of the gate driver being integrated in the flexible OLED display.

Recently, with the development of display technology, AMOLED(Active Matrix OLED) panel production and demand are increasing. Unlike LCD, AMOLED panel basically does not need backlight, so it can output clear images with low power consumption. Therefore, the AMOLED market is growing globally. Accordingly, the demand for inspection devices required for production is also expanding. The inspection device of the AMOLED panel aging system operates in conjunction with MES(Manufacturing Execution System) and MIS(Management Information System), and it is efficient to construct network environment. The inspection device used for panel aging is a pattern generator capable of outputting multiple signals. Efficient design is required to operate multiple signal generators. To solve this problem, the proposed system proposed a method for remotely controlling the signal generator remotely and a method for driving the AMOLED panel. And the timing and power setting results are presented.
