Computed Radiography(CR) is a relatively new technology that relies on an image plate(IP) as an alternate x-ray sensor to screen/film. Standard CR cassettes do not have lead foil behind the IP to control scatter radiation. The result of this study indicate that such control is needed. In most screen/film cassettes, that lines the rear of the cassette eliminates back scatter radiation. This study was performed to Investigate on the effects of back scatter in CR images by size of exposure field, distance between the CR cassette and the wall of radiography room. 1. It showed artifacts from hinges and clips located on the back of CR cassette by back scatter radiation. 2. The greater effects of back scatter radiation in CR images was attributed to the greater size of exposure field and the longer distance between the CR cassette and the wall of radiography room.

We studied exposure techniques and exposure dose for simple abdomen A-P projection for 41 medical facilities that are located in Seoul area. 1. The range of tube voltage used was 60 to 84 kVp, the average tube voltage used was 74 kVp 2. Only 17% of added filter was used. 3. Tube current mostly used was 200 mA, some of them used 400 mA. 4. The grid ratio mostly was used 10 : 1, 54 % of the rare earth screen was used in most facilities. 5. The average skin entrance dose was 4.15 mSv and the dose range was 1.05 mSv to 11.0 mSv.

The X-ray spectra dependence for intensifying screens of medical radiography was investigated through analysis of the absorbed coefficiency(${\mu}$), absorbed efficiency(η$\sub$${\alpha}$/) and absorbed ratio(R). It was found that the absorbed coefficiency was increased in the order of CaWO$_4$$_4$ screen showed the highest value.

We manufactured a micro CPL by LlGA process, a new conceptual ultra-fine and precise forming method, using X-ray lithography process. We fabricated a BN X-ray mask having properties of good X-ray transmittance and large mechanical strength. Micro CPL was manufactured by dividing into an upper plate and a low plate. Each of plates was bonded by Ag paste screen printing. The upper plate was fabricated on glass wafer to observe flow and phase transformation of cooling solution. The lower plate was manufactured by Cu electroplating for good heat transmission. Precision of inner Parts, micro pin and micro channel, of manufactured micro CPL is under ${\pm}2{\mu}m$.

$(Ba_{0.6-x}-Sr_{0.4}Ca_x)TiO_3$ (x=0.10, 0.15, 0.20, y=$0.0{\sim}3.0$) powders were fabricated by the sol-gel method, and BSCT thick films were fabricated by the silk-screen printing method. Their structural and dielectric properties were investigated with variation of composition ratio. All BSCT thick films showed a homogeneous structure without presence of the second phase. BSCT film thickness, obtained by three cycle of printing, was approximately $80{\mu}m$. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the 3-coated BSCT(50/40/10) thick film were approximately 1700 and 0.07%, respectively.

This paper proposes a novel RGB-LED (light emitting diode) backlight system, for 32" LCD TVs, accompanied by a new X-Y Channel driving method in which its row and column switches control the individual division screen. This proposed driving method is able to produce division driving effects such as image improvement and reduced power consumption. Not only that, the number of driver needed in this method, that is 3 power supplies with 3*(m+n) switches, is much fewer than that of cluster driving method, that is 3*(m*n) driver.

For the combination of phosphor screens having various thicknesses and a photodiode array manufactured by complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process, we report the observation of image-quality degradation under the irradiation of 45-kVp spectrum x rays. The image quality was assessed in terms of dark pixel signal, dynamic range, modulation-transfer function (MTF), noise-power spectrum (NPS), and detective quantum efficiency (DQE). For the accumulation of the absorbed dose, the radiation-induced increase both in dark signal and noise resulted in the gradual reduction in dynamic range. While the MTF was only slightly affected by the total ionizing dose, the noise power in the case of $Min-R^{TM}$ screen, which is the thinnest one among the considered screens in this study, became larger as the total dose was increased. This is caused by incomplete correction of the dark current fixed-pattern noise. In addition, the increase tendency in NPS was independent of the spatial frequency. For the cascaded model analysis, the additional noise source is from direct absorption of x-ray photons. The change in NPS with respect to the total dose degrades the DQE. However, with carefully updated and applied correction, we can overcome the detrimental effects of increased dark current on NPS and DQE. This study gives an initial motivation that the periodic monitoring of the image-quality degradation is an important issue for the long-term and healthy use of digital x-ray imaging detectors.

Chalcopyrite-type Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) is one of the most attractive compound semiconductor materials for thin film solar cells. Among various approaches to prepare the CIGS thin film, the powder process offers an extremely simple and materials-efficient method. Here, we present the mechano-chemical synthesis of CIGS compound powders and their use as an ink material for screen-printing. During the synthesis process, milling time and speed were varied in the range of 10~600 min and 100~300 rpm, respectively. Both phase evolution and powder characteristics were carefully monitored by X-ray diffraction (XRD) method, scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation, and particle size analysis by scanning mobility particle spectrometer (SMPS) and aerodynamic particle sizer (APS). We found the optimal milling condition as 200 rpm for 120 min but also found that a monolithic phase of CIGS powders without severe particle aggregation was difficult to be obtained by the mechano-chemical milling alone. Therefore, the optimized milling condition was combined with an adequate heat-treatment (300oC for 60 min) to provide the monolithic CIGS powder of a single phase with affordable particle characteristics for the preparation of CIGS thin film. The powder was used to prepare an ink for screen printing with which dense CIGS thin films were fabricated under the controlled selenization. The morphology and electrical properties of the thin films were analyzed by SEM images and hall measurement, respectively.
