Recently, the flat display modules such as plasma or TFT-LCD employ thin crystallized panels which are normally weak to high level transient mechanical energy inputs. As a result, anti-shock performance is one of the most important design specifications for TFT-LCD modules. However, most of large display module designs are generated based on engineers own experiences. Also, a large-scale analysis to evaluate complex material and structural behaviors is one of interesting topic in diverse engineering and scientific fields. The utilization of massively parallel processors has also been a recent trend of high performance computing. The objective of this paper is to introduce a parallel process system which consists of general purpose finite element analysis solver as well as parallelized PC cluster. The parallel processing system is constructed using thirty-two processing elements and the finite element program is developed by adopting hierarchical domain decomposition method. In order to verify the efficiency of the established system, an impact analysis on thin and complex sub-parts of flat display modules is performed. The evaluation results showed a good agreement with the corresponding reference solutions, and thus, the parallel process system seems to be a useful tool fur the complex structural analysis such as IT related products.

In accordance with IoT(Internet of Things) commercialization, the need to design SoC-based hardware platform with wireless communication is increasing. This paper therefor proposes an SoC platform architecture with Smart Frame System inter-communicating between devices. Wireless communication functions and high-performance real-time image processing hardware structure was applied to existing digital photo frame. We developed a smart phone application to control the smart frame through Bluetooth communication. The SoC platform hardware consists of CIS controller, Memory controller, ISP(Image Signal Processing) module for image scaling, Bluetooth Interface for inter-communicating between devices, VGA/TFT-LCD controller for displaying video. The Smart Frame System to support the IoT services was implemented and verified using HBE-SoC-IPD test board equipped with Virtex4 XC4VLX80 FPGA. The operating frequency is 54MHz.

Recently, according to the rapid development of display, many display applications, such as, cellular phone, navigation, monitor and LCD TV have been changed from CRT type to LCD type. BLU(Back Light Unit) is one of main parts in LCD unit and generally, it consists of a light source, a reflective sheet, a LGP(Light Guide Plate), a diffuser sheet, and two prism sheets. The most important component of BLU is a light guide plate, which diffuses the input light to the TFT-LCD module uniformly. The LGP is usually made by injection molding process, and it has numerous optical micro patterns on the surface. In the present study the micro-patterned stamper which has cylindrical shape was fabricated by using the UV-LiGA process. And the replication characteristics have been compared among three different kinds of injection molding process; general injection molding, injection/compression molding and RHCM(Rapid Heating and Cooling Molding). Average replication ratios of CIM and ICM were 19.1% and 64.6%, respectively. On the other hand, the average replication ratio of RHCM process showed the higher value of 98.4% among these. It show that maintaining the mold surface above $T_g$ could increase the replication ratio of micro patterns substantially.

We have developed a prototype of a module-based patient monitor. In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based patient monitors. The monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases, each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and $SpO_2$ with plethysmograph.

This paper describes the development of the sensor interface and driver program for a point of care (POC) device. The proposed pac device comprises an ARM9 embedded processor and eight-channel sensor input to measure various bio-signals. It features a user-friendly interface using a full-color TFT-LCD and touch-screen, and a bluetooth wireless communication module. The proposed device is based on the system on a programmable chip (SOPC). We use Altera's Excalibur device, which has an ARM9 and FPGA area on a chip, as a test bed for the development of interface hardware and driver software.

Conventional patterning based on wet-process for multi-layered film is a relatively complex and costly process though it is a necessary step for fabrication of TFT-LCD module. Recently, a direct pattering by laser has been studied because it is low cost and simple process compared to the wet process. In this work, the selective removal process of multi-layered film (polyimide/indium tin oxide/glass) is studied by modeling the thermal and mechanical behavior for multi-layered structure. Especially, the effects of thickness of polyimide layer are examined.

This work presents a novel lighting technology based on a YAG:$Ce^{3+}$ phosphor converter with micro line lenticular structure, to accompany an array of bare LED chips on a board. This technology is especially effective in TFT-LCD backlight applications as it offers the advantages of high light radiation efficiency, low color deviation, uniform luminance distribution and compact backlight thickness. Additionally, the proposed configuration is low-cost, can be manufactured quickly, and can be mass-produced economically.

In case of an embedded system with computing resource restrictions such as system power and cpu, the overhead due to displaying data on the computer screen may have a significant influence on the system performance. This paper describes an initialization method for LCD-driving components such as an ARM Core, an LCD controller, and an SPI(serial peripheral interface). It also introduces a pixel display function and a panel display method using virtual screen for reducing the display overhead for an LN2440SBC system with an ARM9-based S3C2440A microprocessor. A virtual screen is a large space of computer memories allocated much larger than those needed for one-time display of an image. Displaying a specific region of a virtual screen is done by assigning it as a view-port region. Such a display is useful in an embedded system when concurrently running tasks produce and display their respective results on the screen; it is especially so when the execution result of each task is partially modified, instead of being totally modified, on its turn and displayed. If the tasks running on such a system divide and make efficient use of the region of the virtual screen, the display overhead can be minimized. For the performance comparison with and without using the virtual screen, two different images are displayed in turn and the amount of time consumed for their display is measured. The result shows that the display time of the former is about 5 times faster than that of the latter.

디스플레이 매체의 발전에 따라 TV나 컴퓨터 모니터 또는 TFT-LCD, PDP, EL 등의 평판 디스플레이장치들의 대형화, 고화질, 고정밀도가 요구되어지고 있다. 이러한 디스플레이 장치들은 영상표시를 위해 유리를 사용하고 있는데, 사용되는 유리의 형상과 두께는 디스플레이 장치들의 성능에 영향을 준다. 특히 장치가 대형화되면서 대형 평판 유리의 변형된 형상과 균일하지 않은 두께는 디스플레이 장치들의 고화질, 고정밀도를 막는 주요한 요인이 되고 있다. 이러한 이유로 디스플레이 장치용 평판 유리의 형상 및 두께를 측정하는 센서의 요구가 많아지고 있다. 그러나 아직 유리의 형상과 두께를 측정하는 센서 및 시스템은 고가이고. 측정 방법 또한 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 하나의 센서로 유리의 형상과 두께를 동시에 고속으로 측정이 가능한 저가의 비접촉식 광센서를 개발하기로 한다. 이 논문에서 개발된 광센서에는 CD-player에 사용되는 홀로그램 레이저를 사용함으로써 고정밀 형상측정, 저가의 광센서, 센서의 소형화를 이룰 수 있다.
