In this work $Cd_4GeS_6:Co^{2+}$(0.5mole%) single crystals were grown by the chemical transporting reactiov(CTR) method using high purity(6N) elements. The grown single crystals crystallized in a monoclinic structure(space group Cc). The direct optical energy gap of this single crystals was found to be 2.445eV at 300K and the temperature dependence of optical energy gap was fitted well to Varshni equation. But at temperatures lower than 70K an anomalous temperature dependence of the optical energy gap was obtained. This anomalous temperature dependence accored well with the anomalous temperature dependence of the unit cell volume. Also, the entropy, enthalpy and heat capacity were deduced from the temperature dependence of optical energy gaps.

We have developed a new type of transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) with a single cell gap and a single LC mode. In our transflective configuration, a single LC mode of a 60$^{\circ}$ twisted nematic LC was used for both transmissive and reflective applications. The measured electro-optic characteristics of our transflective LC cell agree well with numerical simulation results. Moreover, the transmittance was found to show similar behavior to the reflectance.

We have studied electro-optic characteristics of transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) using in-plane switching mode. Unlike previous transflective LCD using a dual gap structure and multi driving circuit, this transflective LCD has a single gap structure and a single driving circuit. In the voltage on state, the electric field is applied horizontally to the LC directors, and then homogeneously aligned LC directors at initial state is rotated to with the electric field. But the twist angle of the LC directors in reflective area is lower than transmissive area. As a result, it is possible to design the transflective LCD with a single gap and a single driving circuit. The transflective display associated with this LC cell exhibits a wide viewing angle in both reflective and transmissive areas.

A single-gap and single-gamma transflective liquid-crystal (LC) display using patterned vertical alignment (PVA) mode was designed. In the device, a vertical electric field drives a vertically aligned LC to tilt down to optimize polarization efficiency. Electrodes of transmissive and reflective area were patterned $22.5^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ with respect to the polarizer so that a tilt-down direction of the LC director was $22.5^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ in the reflective and transmissive regions, respectively. In the device, the cell gap was the same for both regions, and the gamma curve matched each other in both regions because tilt angle of LC director was the same according to the applied voltage. Moreover, the dark state was irrespective of the cell retardation value at normal direction, which was highly important in massive fabrications. The switching principle and electro-optic characteristics of the device are reported herein.

최근 기본적인 pin 구조의 박막 cell 에서 i layer를 최적화 시키는 방안으로 double layer 구조가 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ASA(Advanced Semicon ductor Analysis) simulation을 이용하여 i-double layer 최적화에 대한 연구를 진행해 보았다. 두께 150/150nm의 i double layer의 band gap 가변을 한 simulation 결과를 보았을 때, p쪽의 band gap이 상승하면서 intrinsic layer 내의 field가 증가하여 recombination center가 감소하였으나 FF의 감소가 있었다. n쪽의 band gap을 상승 시켰을때 n/i 쪽 field 증가로 Voc가 상승되어 초기 효율이 증가하였으나 intrinsic layer내의 field가 감소하여 recombination center가 오히려 증가하였다. 결과적으로 electric field와 효율을 동시에 고려했을 때 두께 300nm, 1.75의 band gap을 가지는 single layer 보다 150/150nm두께에 1.8/1.7 또는 1.8/1.75의 bandgap을 가지는 double layer를 사용하였을 때 보다 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있었다.

A transflective liquid crystal displays driven by fringe field switching mode of new concept is being suggested. The FFS mode is known to have the different twist angle distribution at the position when an operating voltage is applied. We make the cell design by using the different twist angle which has some region decided on transmissive region and other region used to reflective region. By optimizing simulation condition in the concept, we proposed new tansflective LCDs using FFS mode with single gap and single gamma characteristics.

We present a simulation method to design antireflection coating (ARCs) for fiber-coupled superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. Using a finite-element method, the absorptance of the nanowire is calculated for a defined unit-cell structure consisting of a fiber, ARC layer, nanowire absorber, distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) mirror, and air gap. We develop a method to evaluate the uncertainty in absorptance due to the uncontrollable parameter of air-gap distance. The validity of the simulation method is tested by comparison to an experimental realization for a case of single-layer ARC, which results in good agreement. We show finally a double-layer ARC design optimized for a system detection efficiency of higher than 95%, with a reduced uncertainty due to the air-gap distance.

We demonstrate a transflective liquid crystal display (LCD), doped with a chiral agent to produce a low helical twisting power, in a multimode configuration consisting of the homogeneous alignment and the hybrid alignment. The multimode transflective LCD with a single cell gap was fabricated using a single-step photoalignment technique with a self-masking process of an array of metal reflectors in the reflective region. In our configuration, the electro-optical disparity between the transmissive region and the reflective region was found to be significantly reduced by the low helical twisting power of the chiral dopant.

Optically isotropic liquid crystal (LC) mixture such as blue-phase LC and nanostructured LC composites exhibit the advantages of fast response time, high contrast ratio and wide-viewing angle due to the induced birefringence along the horizontal electric field. Utilizing this mixture, a novel single cell gap in-plane switching-type polymer-stabilized blue-phase transflective liquid crystal display by embedding the nanowire grid polarizer as a polarization-dependent reflective polarizer in the R region is proposed. This device can be used as a normal black mode without any quarter-wave plate or patterned in-cell phase retarder. Moreover, the transmittance is identical to the reflectance so that it will be suitable for single gamma driving. Detailed electro-optic performances, such as voltage-dependent light efficiency and viewing angle of the proposed device configuration, are investigated.
