Transparent dye-sensitized solar cells have been widely investigated for the application to building integrated photovoltaic system. Thin film Si-based solar cells are emerging as a substitute for the dye-sensitized solar cells because their merits of well-established manufacturing processes. Since the selective transmitting layer transmits visible light and reflects infrared light, the solar cell efficiency increases with the introduction of the selective transmitting layer. In this work, AlTiO thin films were grown as the selective transmitting layer by cost-effective sputter deposition and their transmittances were improved by controlling deposition parameters.

We have designed transflective liquid crystal display(LCD) associated with in-plane switching of a LC director driven by fringe-field, unlike other LCD mode. Reflective area consists of a λ/2 compensation film and a LC cell with retardation value(dΔn) of λ/4 with their optic axes making an angle of 15$^{\circ}$ and 75$^{\circ}$ against polarizer, respectively. In the transmissive area, top and bottom polarizers are parallel each other, an LC has a dΔn of λ/2, and another λ/2 compensation film is inserted between the LC cell and bottom polarizer. With the configuration, both devices show dark state initially. When an incident light is 550nm, the device shows wide-viewing-angle characteristics such that in the reflective area the contrast ratio target than 5 exists up to 55$^{\circ}$ of polar angle in all directions and in transmissive area it exists about 100$^{\circ}$ in vortical direction and 110$^{\circ}$ in horizontal direction.

We have developed new type of LCD Device which enables switching from reflective to tranmissive LCD mode and vice versa according to brightness of the surrounding. Alternation in these modes are possible by adding on circular polarized sheet and retardation film onto the bottom polarizer which allows the control of the back light and the LCD cell gamma voltage depending on the atmosphere. This method has been evaluated and confirmed by running on the LCD module device in which we have optimized retardation value by Poincare polarizer analysis.

In this commentary, I examined the implications of Existentialism for science teaching and teacher education. Existentialist thoughts and premises can be used to explore the human element in an educational system. Before emphasizing the pragmatic and technical aspects of teaching, we need to rethink why we teach and recognize our learners as unique beings in a continual process of becoming. By incorporating the existential perspective into curriculums and pedagogies of science education, we can help learners to make their existences and experiences meaningful. This paper consists of three parts. In the first part, I drew on relevant aspects of Existentialism and its implications on the views of the learner. In the second part, I examined the competency-based curriculum in light of Existentialism. Existentialism aims, in part, to develop an educated person who possesses a clear sense of personal identity, a critical attitude, and the inclination to be a life-long learner, and so on. These characteristics are consistent with the implications developed from the competency-based curriculum. In the third part, I explored pedagogical activities consistent with existentialist thinking the ultimate goal of which is to create authentic individuals who can take responsibility for being humans. In the conclusion, I discussed how existentialist ways of thinking and teaching call for the science teacher's reflective practices, where the teacher needs to integrate personal and professional knowledge as the situation demands.

These days, the size of a reflective telescope has been increasing for astronomical observation. An additional optical system usually assists a large ground telescope for image analysis or the compensation of air turbulence. To guide collimated light to the external optical system through a designated path, a coudé mirror is usually adopted. Including a collimator, a coudé mirror of a ground telescope is affected by gravity, depending on the telescope's pointing direction. The mirror surface is deformed by the weight of the mirror itself and its mount, which deteriorates the optical performance. In this research, we propose an optimization method for the coudé mirror assembly for a 1-m class ground telescope that minimizes the gravitational surface error (SFE). Here the mirror support positions and the sizes of the mount structure are optimized using finite element analysis and the response surface optimization method in both the horizontal and vertical directions, considering the telescope's altitude angle. Throughout the whole design process, the coefficients of the Zernike polynomials are calculated and their amplitude changes are monitored to determine the optimal design parameters. At the same time, the design budgets for the thermal SFE and the mass and size of the mount are reflected in the study.

The optical system of lens must be designed to tramsmit light over wide wavelength range and to have lower reflectivity in order to obtain higher spectral transmittance. However, the reflection color light appears due to the remain-reflection light in any optical system of lens. The wavelength of the reflection color light can be controlled by the structure of the number of layers, thickness of layer, reflective index, wavelength of incidence, and substrate etc. In the optical systems of the single layer and the double layers, the reflection color light appears in the condition of the anti-reflection of ${\lambda}s/{\lambda}$ = 1.0 by the color mixture of the remain-reflection lights in the ranges of the longer wavelength side and the shorter one of the ${\lambda}s/{\lambda}$ = 1.0, and of the double layers and triple layers, the reflection color light positioned at P1 < ${\lambda}s/{\lambda}$ < P2 appears in the condition of the antireflection of ${\lambda}s/{\lambda}$ = $PI{\ll}1$ and $P2{\gg}1$. In the optical system of the multi-layers, many antireflection points are existed at the various s/ values, and the reflection color light by the color mixture of the remain-reflection lights in the ranges except for the antireflection points.

On-board spectrophotometer has been widely used as a non-contact and non-destructive measurement system in many fields. In this study, we evaluated the effect with respect to the light of on-board spectrophotometer based on a comparison with the standard spectrophotometer and color information coordinate system. Red, yellow, green and blue color paper, which were the standard reflective color paper and Munsell color paper, were used for experiments. In order to compare between a standard spectrophotometer system and an on-board spectrophotometer system, each color paper was measured 20 times. We concluded that it is possible to develop a system regardless the effect of light if the light was supplied consistently and a calibration was performed exactly while we applied an on-board spectrophotometer to non-contact and non-destructive measurement system.

The characteristic analysis of cement clinker using light microscope can evaluate not only the quality of cement but also making process. Thus this study analyzed clinkers having different burning conditions by reflective light microscope. As heating and cooling rates is decreased, alite and belite minerals grew and especially cooling rate had an effect on the growth of belite. Futhermore as the retention time in max. temperature got longer by twenty minutes, alite and belite minerals grew more about 5 $\mu\textrm{m}$. In the case of temperature 1400$^{\circ}C$ in max, the size of belite was suitable but alite was not suitable with the size of 10～15 $\mu\textrm{m}$.

A new 3D rear projection display system using double-layer polarization-selective screen systems, one stacked in front of the other, has been developed. The front and rear screens are made of scattering polarizer films, and they either diffuse-scatter or transmit the incident light depending on the polarization state of the light. The near and for images are projected onto the front and rear screens, respectively, using light waves with mutually orthogonal polarization states. The new display system produces clear high-resolution images, which are visible over a wide range of viewing angle. It was found that the impression of depth is pronounced and eyestrain is only comparable to that by 2D display systems.

In this paper, a simple nondestructive technology is used to investigate unstained biological blood cells in three dimensions (3D). The technology employs a reflective phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM) for displaying the phase hologram of the object being tested, and a Fourier lens for its reconstruction. The phase hologram is generated via superposing a digital random phase on the 2D image of the object. The phase hologram is then displayed by the SLM with 256 grayscale levels, and reconstructed by a Fourier lens to present the object in 3D. Since noise is the main problem in this method, the windowed Fourier filtering (WFF) method is applied to suppress the noise of the reconstructed object. The quality of the reconstructed object is refined and the noise level suppressed by approximately 40%. The technique is applied to objects: the National Institute of Standards (NIS) logo, and a film of unstained peripheral blood. Experimental results show that the proposed technique can be used for rapid investigation of unstained biological blood cells in 3D for disease diagnosis. Moreover, it can be used for viewing unstained white blood cells, which is still challenging with an optical microscope, even at large magnification.
