본 논문에서는 ELA(excimer laser annealing) 및 SMC(silicide mediated crystallization) 공정으로 제작된 다결정 실리콘 TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display) 화소의 전기적 특성을 Spice회로 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교 분석하였다. 복잡한 TFT-LCD 어레이 (array) 회로의 전기적 특성 분석을 위하여 GUI(Graphic User Interface) 방식으로 손쉽게 복잡한 회로를 구성할 수 있는 PSpice에 AIM-Spice의 다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터 소자 모델을 이식하고, AIM-Spice의 변수 추출법을 개선 체계화하였으며 ELA 및 SMC공정으로 각기 제작된 다결정 실리콘 박막트랜지스터에 적용하여 단위 화소 및 라인 RC 지연을 고려한 화소 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 비교 결과 ELA 다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터 소자가 SMC에 비해 TFT-LCD의 화소 충전 시간 및 킥백(kickback) 전압 특성이 모두 우수하게 나타남을 확인하였다.

In order to achieve higher performance and low cost a-Si TFT-LCD panel, new material architecture and its process integration for a-Si TFT array manufacturing method were developed. Material combination of low resistant dry-etchable metal and new pixel electrode under currently adopted 4 mask process made it possible to get more-simplified manufacturing method and better device performance for the a-Si TFT-LCD application. Proposed 4 mask process architecture with optimized wet etchants and dry etching process was applicable to various devices such as notebook, monitor and TV.

Synthesis of two photoactive compounds containing core imide moiety was carried out for an application to interdielectric layer in TFTLCD array. An aqueous alkaline developable polymer matrix was synthesized by free radical copolymerization. A positive photoresist formulation was developed utilizing synthesized UV monomers, photoactive compound, binder polymer, sulfactant and alkali developable polymer matrix. It was found that via-holes with good resolution, high transmittance and thermal resistance could be obtained by photolithographic process utilizing the new positive interdielectric material with high thermal stability.

TFT-LCD simulator, PDAST(Pixel Design Array Simulation Tool) could simulate the effect of the variation on the pixel characteristics. Since feed-through voltage in TFT-LCD can be a serious problem to pixel voltage characteristics, it should be compensated. It is applicable to various kinds of TFT-LCDs and can be used to calculate the spontaneous part of common electrode voltage accurately. Also, PDAST can estimate pixel voltage according to various inversion methods. It allows high-speed calculation and the information obtained from this study could be utilized to design the larger area and finer image quality panel.

In this study we consider the problem of production planning of TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor - Liquid Crystal Display) production factory. Due to the complexities of the TFT-LCD production processes, it is difficult to schedule the production planning, and the study about automated scheduler is insufficient. In addition, the existing production method is a Push-System to raise the operation rate with expensive equipment, that has the problem to satisfy the due-date. This study presents an algorithm having a concept of Pull-System that satisfies the due-date and considers specialties of TFT-LCD production process. We make MPS(Master Production Schedule) according to the sales order, and present algorithms for scheduling about In/Out plan considering factory capacity, line balancing, material requirement, and inventory level of all Array, Cell, and Module processes. These algorithms are integrated as an automated production system, and we implement them in the actual TFT-LCD factory circumstance.

In this paper an alternative Active Matrix LCD technology is described with scalable, low cost processing. The Dual Select Diode AMLCD requires 60% lower capital investment in the array process than a-Si TFT arrays and results in 20% lower cost LCD modules. Development at several AMLCD manufacturers is in progress.

The need for low cost, flexible, thin film transistor (TFT) display backplanes has focused attention on new processing techniques and materials. We report the development of TFT backplane technology based entirely on jet-printing, using a combination of additive and subtractive processing, to print active materials or etch masks. The technique eliminates the use of photolithography and has the potential to reduce the array manufacturing cost. The printing technique is demonstrated with both amorphous silicon and polymer semiconductor TFT arrays, and we show results of small prototype displays.

The driving-current degradation of a-Si:H thin-film transistor(TFT) device has been analyzed for the first time. A method to analyze the performance of TFT circuits is presented, which is different from the conventional one by threshold voltage shift method. It can be also used to evaluate the performance of gate driver on array (GOA) circuit, which is integrated in a 12.1" WXGA ($1280{\ast}3{\ast}800$) TFT-LCD panel.

The ubiquitous nature of large area TFT-LCD televisions are truly one of the major success stories of consumer electronic products for the $21^{st}$ century. It is the industry's ability to lower prices over the years that have made TFT-LCD television an affordable option for the majority of consumers. TFT-LCD equipment manufacturers have played a major role these cost reduction efforts. Increasing requirements for high process quality like for eg UHD panels need to be met simultaneously with the demand of an highly productive and reliable equipment. AKT provides an excellent PVD product by improving performance and cost of ownership (CoO) for Gen8.5 and beyond.

To detect electrical faults of a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) panel for the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), techniques of converting electric field to an image are used One of them is the PDLC (polymer-dispersed liquid crystal) modulator which changes light transmittance under electric field. The advantage of PDLC modulator in the electric field detection is that it can be used without physically contacting the TFT panel surface. Specific pattern signals are applied to the data and gate electrodes of the panel to charge the pixel electrodes and the image sensor detects the change of transmittance of PDLC positioned in proximity distance above the pixel electrodes. The image represents the status of electric field reflected on the PDLC so that the characteristic of the PDLC itself plays an important role to accurately quantify the defects of TFT panel. In this paper, the image of the PDLC modulator caused by the change of electric field of the pixel electrodes on the TFT panel is acquired and how the characteristics of PDLC reflect the change of electric field to the image is analyzed. When the holding time of PDLC is short, better contrast of electric field image can be obtained by changing the instance of applying the driving voltage to the PDLC.
