LCD의 전력소모중 약 70%를 차지하는 부분이 백라이트 유닛이다. 전세계적으로 저전력, 고화질, 대면적의 LCD 디스플레이를 개발하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 주로 백라이트 유닛을 구성하는 입사광학계와 도광체 및 프리즘 필름 등을 기존 제작공정 내에서 개선하는 것에 연구 개발의 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 본 연구는 기존의 개선 방법에서 벗어나 도광판의 형태와 산란입자의 크기에 따른 산란정도를 조절하여 기존의 도광판보다 더 나은 산란효율을 얻고자 한다. 이를 위해 투명도와 경도가 우수한 PMMA(polymethyl methacrylate)에 다양한 산란자를 투입하여 도광판을 제작한다. 도광판의 실제 제작 이전에 고효율 도광판속에서의 정확한 산란전산모사를 필수적으로 선행하여야 한다. 따라서 광산란 측정장치를 제작하여 산란자의 종류에 따른 원통형 도광체에서 측정한 산란강도와 산란전산모사에서의 결과를 비교 분석하여 저전력, 고화질, 대면적의 백라이트 유닛을 개발하기 위한 기초 자료로 사용하고자 한다.

The aim of this study was to examine the validity of fracture criterion for PMMA plates that have a V-notch with an end hole. The predicted stress intensity factors and crack initiation angles by the fracture criterion based on the maximum circumferential stress and the novozhilov's criteria were compared with the experimental results. By increasing the radius of end hole, the differences of predicted stress intensity factors and experimental results increased, possibly due to the plastic zone size. The results indicated that when the radius of end hole is < 1 mm, the fracture criterion would be useful.

Images using X-rays are essential to diagnosis, but noise is inevitable in the image. To compensate for this, a total variation (TV) algorithm was presented to reduce the patient's exposure dose while increasing the quality of the images. The purpose of this study is to verify the effect on the image quality in radiographic imaging according to the thickness of the additional filtration plate through simulation, and to evaluate the usefulness of the TV algorithm. By using the Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emissions (GATE) simulation image, the actual size, shape and material of the Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) phantom were identical, the contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and coefficient of variation (COV) were compared. The results showed that the CNR value was the highest and the COV the lowest when applying the TV algorithm. In addition, we can acquire superior CNR and COV results with 0 mm Al in all algorithm cases.

The polycarbonate (PC)-based optical diffusers for direct-lit LED backlight unit were prepared by using extrusion compounding followed by compression molding process. The application of inorganic porous silica particles as a diffusing agent in addition to conventional poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) beads was attempted, and the optical, thermal, and mechanical properties of the prepared diffusers were investigated. The morphological observations revealed that the diffusing agents could be uniformly dispersed in the PC matrix without agglomeration by high shear stress generated during extrusion process. The incorporation of the porous silica particles mixed with PMMA beads remarkably enhanced the luminance uniformity with respect to both location and view angle for the diffuser, while minimizing the reduction in the absolute luminance, as compared with the diffuser containing only PMMA beads. In addition, thermal and mechanical properties of the diffusers were shown to be improved upon addition of the porous silica particles.

PMMA (Polymethyle-methacrylate) optical components have recently been increasingly used as one of the important part of the high precision equipments. This research presents comparatively the surface preparation of light incident plane, LIP (Light Incident Plane) of LGP (Light Guide Panel) by end milling, high speed shaping, and vibration assisted high speed shaping. From several experiments, the results show that the surface quality was improved in high speed shaping and the vibration assisted HSS show not only decreasing waviness and breakage also raising the straightness property. For applying high speed shaping and vibration assisted HSS, an additional tool post was developed and experimentally used.

The optical diffuser for direct-lit LED backlight unit was prepared by using extrusion compounding followed by thermoforming process. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with superior optical characteristics and polycarbonate (PC) with good thermal property were used as base resins, and crosslinked polystyrene (PS) and PMMA beads as diffusing agents were incorporated into resin matrix to derive light scattering and diffusing action. In the compounded plate, the diffusing beads were observed to be dispersed uniformly and distinctly in the continuous phase. The inclusion of polymeric beads up to 3 wt% substantially enhanced the optical characteristics such as luminance, luminance uniformity, haze for the diffuser. Two different diffusers of PC and PMMA-based compound with various compositions were compared in terms of measured optical, thermal, and mechanical properties, which would be expected to be utilized for the industrial application of LED backlight unit.

PMMA light guiding plate with nano pattern was fabricated by nano imprint lithography method. A silicon mold for electroplating of nickel was fabricated by conventional photolithography process. A nickel stamp for nano imprint lithography was fabricated by electroplating process using silicon mold. The nano imprint lithography was performed on PMMA plate at $140^{\circ}C$ under pressure of 20kN. The nano pattern on PMMA plate was investigated using FE-SEM. It is shown that the patterns were well transferred for several steps and the nano imprint lithography method could be applied for fabricating patterns of light guiding plate.
