본 논문은 TFT-LCD 모듈 조립 공정에서의 스케줄링 시스템을 제안한다. TFT-LCD 모듈 조립 공정은 선행 공정인 액정 공정에서 넘어오는 LCD 판넬과 기타 부품들을 조립하여 최종 완제품을 만드는 공정이다. 본 연구에서 다루고 있는 문제는 주문량으로부터 구해지는 일일 생산 계획량이 주어졌을 때 각 라인에서 생산되어질 제품을 배정하는 문제이다. 본 논문의 목적은 주어진 실제 공정 환경에서 일일 생산 계획량을 최대로 만족하기 위한 스케줄링 휴리스틱을 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 relaxed LP 모형을 제시하였고 제시된 LP 모형을 이용한 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 제품 우선 배정 조건, 현 보유 자재량과 대략적인 라인의 생산 능력을 고려한 LP 프로시져 부분과 제품 간 셋업 시간을 고려한 설비 배정 휴리스틱의 두 부분으로 구분된다. 알고리즘의 성능 검사를 위해 실제 TFT-LCD 모듈 공정에서의 데이터를 이용하여 과거에 실제 이루어진 생산 결과와 비교를 하였으며 제안된 알고리즘의 효율성을 실험 결과를 통해 보였다.

Recently, specifications of flat display module is going to be higher definition, brightness and more wide viewing angle. On the other hand, physical thickness of those modules is forced to be slimmer and lighter. The flat display modules such as plasma or TFT-LCD employ thin crystallized panels that are normally weak to high level transient mechanical energy inputs. As a result, anti-shock performance is one of the most important design specifications of TFT-LCD modules. TFT-LCD module manufacturers and their customers like PC or TV makers perform a series of strict impact/drop test for the modules. However most of the large display module designs are generated based on engineer's own trial-error experiences. Those designs may result in disqualification from the drop/impact test during final product evaluation. A rigorous study on the impact failure of the displays is of course necessitated in order to avoid the problems. In this article, a systematic design evaluation is presented with combinations of FEM modeling and testing to support the optimal shock proof display design procedure.

The backlight unit (BLU) is used as a light source of TFT liquid-crystalline-display (TFT-LCD) module. In this backlight unit, one of important components is the light guide, which is usually made of transparent polymers. Currently, the screen-printing method is mainly used for the light guide as a manufacturing process. However, it has limitation to the flexibility of three-dimensional optical design. In the present paper a new alternative manufacturing method for the light guide with low-cost is proposed. This manufacturing method is named as direct surface forming (DSF), which is very similar to the well-known hot embossing except for partial contact between mold and substrate. The results of this new manufacturing method are presented in terms of processing condition, dimensional accuracy, productivity, etc.

This paper presents the efficient plan for the EMI improvement from of TFT-LCD Module. It investigates the frequency characteristics of Power/Ground Plane of TFT-LCD drive circuit PCB concretely. After the frequency characteristics is reviewed, EMI improvement is tried to insert to RC termination between Power/Ground Plane and to shift resonance frequency. It is confirmed by a simulation result and RC Termination which is inserted the point where the resonance characteristics change is necessary. It applied in 19 "SXGA TFT-LCD drive circuits and the EMI improvement verification is described.

Impact analysis of TFT-LCD module is very complicated because the structure is assisted with thin, small and non-uniform geometry. Especially, finite element modeling is more difficult and need time-consuming efforts. In this study, we developed LCD Impact Analysis System (LIAS) for the purpose of reducing the analysis time without accuracy reduction. This system contains pre-meshing data, material database, shock condition, auto-reporting etc. PATRAN and DYNA3D is used for meshing and solving. Previously, we performed impact test and reviewed the accuracy of analysis results. Simply we can control design parameters, the procedure such as meshing, running and reporting which are partially auto-prepared. By adopting proposed system, it is expected to achieve efficient impact analysis of LCD module.

This paper presents an automatic LCD gamma control system using gamma curve optimization. It controls automatically gamma adjustment registers in mobile LCD driver IC to reduce gamma correction error and adjusting time. The proposed gamma system contains Module-Under-Test (MUT, LCD module), PC installed with program, multimedia display tester for measuring luminance, and control board for interface between PC and LCD module. Proposed algorithm and program are applicable for most of the LCD modules. It is realized to calibrate gamma values of 1.8, 2.0, 2.2 and 3.0. The control board is designed with DSP and FPGA, and it supports various interfaces such as RGB and CPU. Developed automatic gamma control system showed significantly reduced gamma adjusting time of 240 sec. and much less average gamma error of 11% than 42h and 27% with conventional manual method. We believe that the proposed system is very useful to provide high-quality LCD and to improve production process.

Recently, the market share of the thin-film-transistor liquid-crystalline-display (TFT-LCD) is growing rapidly in display device market. The backlight unit is used as a light source of TFT-LCD module. A light-guide is one of several important components of backlight unit.

In the present study a new manufacturing method which is called as direct surface forming(DSF) has been tested under various conditions. The result of this test, V-groove pattern shows different shapes depends on the temperature of mold surface, contact time of mold and depth of V-groove.

Fast incipient fault diagnosis is becoming one of the key requirements for economical and optimal process operation management in high-tech industries. Artificial neural networks have been used to detect faults for a number of years and shown to be highly successful in this application area. This paper presents a novel test technique for fault detection and classification for module process of TFT-LCD manufacture using support vector machines (SVMs). In order to evaluate SVMs, this paper examines the performance of the proposed method by comparing it with that of multilayer perception, one of the artificial neural network techniques, based on real benchmarking data.
