  • Daylight is highly beneficial for improving the indoor environmental quality and reducing building energy consumption, daylighting applications are scarcely considered, especially during the Rural standard house models design process, because of lack of previous studies on elderly-light environment and complex simulation process. Therefore, daylighting process were performed using ECOTECT, which has various advantage such as easy user interface and simple simulation processes. Moreover, dynamic daylight simulation were performed using whether data. Static simulation are performed to compute static metrics such as daylight factor, whereas dynamic simulation are performed for dynamic metrics such as daylight autonomy and useful daylight illuminance using annual weather data On the basis of daylight autonomy and useful daylight illuminance analysis result, variations in annual daylight performances. A parametric and regression analysis of the window-to-wall ratio and visible transmittance showed that daylight factor, daylight autonomy increased with window-to-wall ratio and visible transmittance. It can be concluded that this new daylight criteria. useful daylight illuminance, will enable architect to obtain better fenestration design.

  • Electromagnetic interference shielding and near-infrared cutoff filters for plasma display panel application were designed and fabricated by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Three types of the filters were prepared: the basic structure of type A consisted of [$TiO_2$ Ti Ag $TiO_2$]; type B, of [$TiO_2$ ITO Ag $TiO_2$]; type C, of [$TiO_2$ ITO Ag ITO $TiO_2$]. Ti and ITO layers deposited on Ag layers were employed as barriers to prevent the oxidation and the diffusion of Ag film into the adjacent oxide layers. Optical, electrical, chemical, and structural properties were investigated, and the result shows that the filters with the ITO barrier layers provided an enhancement in transmittance in the visible owing to a lower absorption of ITO layers than Ti layers. Type C filter showed better optical and electrical performances and smoother surface roughness than Type B and C filters: the average sheet resistance was as low as 1.51 $\Omega\Box$ (where $\square$ stands for a square film), the peak transmittance in the visible was as high as 78.2 %, and the average surface roughness was 1.48 nm.

  • This paper presents the results of the optical characteristics of ITO thin film with different buffer layer thicknesses of $SiO_2$ and $Nb_2O_5$ for touch sensor application. $SiO_2$ and $Nb_2O_5$ buffer layers were deposited using RF magnetron sputtering equipment. The buffer layers were inserted between glass and ITO layers. In order to compare with the experimental results, the Essential Macleod Program (EMP) was adopted. Based on EMP simulation, the [$Nb_2O_5{\mid}SiO_2{\mid}ITO$] multi-layered thin film exhibited high transmittance of more than 85% in the visible region. The actual experimental results also showed transmittance of more than 85% in the visible region, indicating that the simulated results were well matched with the experimental results. The sheet resistance of ITO based film was about $340{\Omega}/sq$. The surface roughness maintained a relatively small value within the range of 0.1~0.4 nm when using the $Nb_2O_5$ and $SiO_2$ buffer layers.

  • Highly conductive and transparent in the visible region tin-doped indium oxide(ITO) thin films were deposited on Corning glass by r.f sputtering. To achieve high transmittance and low resistivity, we examined various parameters such as r.f power and deposition time. The films crystallinity shifted from (222) to (400) and (440) orientation as deposition time and r.f power increased. Surface roughness RMS value increased proportionally with deposition time. The lowest resistivity was $5.36{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at 750 nm thickness, $200^{\circ}C$ substrate temperature and 125 w r.f power. All of the films showed over $85\%$ transmittance in the visible wavelength range.

  • We propose a low temperature sol-gel ZnO/Ag nanowire composite thin film to fulfill low temperature and low cost requirements, which are essential criteria in future flexible electronic devices. In this proposed thin film, Ag nanowire plays the role of electrical conduction, and sol-gel ZnO provides a structural medium with a high visible transmittance. Low temperature restriction in the sol-gel fabrication process prevents sufficient oxidation of Zn acetate precursors, which were solved by a post-coating treatment with ultraviolet light irradiation. Composite thin film formation was performed by spin coating methods with a mixed precursor solution or in a sequential manner. We obtained an average visible transmittance larger than 85% and a sheet resistance smaller than $50{\Omega}/sq$. After optimization in a fabricated composite transparent conductive thin film with the thickness around 100 nm. Similar experimental demonstration in a flexible substrate (polyethyleneterephthalate) was successful, which implies a promising application opportunity of this technology.

  • The effects of the growth temperature on the properties of ZnO thin films were investigated by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, and Hall measurements. The ZnO films were deposited by rf magnetron sputtering at various growth temperatures in the range of 100-$400{^{\circ}C}$. A strong c-axis preferred orientation is observed for all of the samples. As the growth temperature increases, the crystalline orientation of the ZnO (002) plane is not changed, but the full width at half maximum gets smaller. The dependence of the electron concentration, mobility, and resistivity on the growth temperature exhibits that the ZnO films have a higher electron concentration at higher temperatures, thus giving them a low resistivity. The optical transmittance and band gap energy, calculated from the spectra of optical absorbance, show a significant dependence on the growth temperature. As for the sample grown at $100{^{\circ}C}$, the average transmittance is about 90% in the visible wavelength range and the band gap is estimated to be 3.13 eV.

  • This study demonstrates transparent electrodes with characteristics desirable for touch screen panels using carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This has been accomplished by depositing CNTs on glass substrates via spray coating and then depositing thin conductive polymer films on the CNTs via spin coating. For all of the samples, such as CNTs, conductive polymers, and polymer-coated CNTs, the surface morphologies, sheet resistances, visible transmittances, chromatic properties are characterized as functions of their preparation conditions, such as the spray times for CNTs and the spin speeds for conductive polymers. The experimental results confirm that only the polymer-coated CNTs can satisfy all of the requirements that are required for electrodes of touch screen panels, such as the sheet resistance lower than $100{\Omega}/sq$, the visible transmittance higher than 80 %, and the yellowness smaller than 1.

  • In this paper, we investigated the effects of high-energy electron beam irradiation (HEEBI) on the optical transmittance of InGaZnO (IGZO) films grown on transparent Corning glass substrates, with a radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique. The IGZO thin films deposited at low temperature were treated with HEEBI in air at room temperature (RT) with an electron beam energy of 0.8 MeV and doses of $1{\times}10^{14}-1{\times}10^{16}electrons/cm^2$. The optical transmittance of the IGZO films was measured using an ultraviolet visible near-infrared spectrophotometer (UVVIS). The detailed estimation process for separating the transmittance of HEEBI-treated IGZO films from the total transmittance of IGZO films on transparent substrates treated with HEEBI is given in this paper. Based on the experimental results, we concluded that HEEBI with an appropriate dose of $10^{14}electrons/cm^2$ causes a maximum increase in the transparency of IGZO thin films. We also concluded that HEEBI treatment with an appropriate dose shifted the optical band gap ($E_g$) toward the lower energy region from 3.38 to 3.31 eV. This $E_g$ shift suggested that HEEBI in air at RT with an appropriate dose acts like a thermal annealing treatment in vacuum at high temperature.

  • The hydrophilic ophthalmic lens with addition of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) and Ag nanoparticles were manufactured. And also, the cross-linker ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and the initiator azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) were used for polymerization. The polymerization of the hydrogel lens material was conducted through thermal polymerization in 100 ℃ for 1h. The optical and physical characteristics of hydrogel lens were evaluated by measuring water content, refractive index and optical transmittance. The water content of sample containing HEA, HEMA and HPMA was in the average of 82.12%, 37.06% and 21.57%, respectively. And also, refractive index of the sample containing HEA, HEMA and HPMA was in the average of 1.3540, 1.4330 and 1.4649, respectively. In case of the optical properties of the sample, the results showed that the near-UV transmittance was 82.67%, 80.32% and 79.83%, and the visible transmittance was 89.72%, 88.24% and 86.89%, respectively. And also, optical transmittance of the sample containing Ag nanoparticles showed that the near-UV transmittance of 10.59% and visible transmittance of 43.74% were obtained. From the results, the molecular length influenced on the water content and refractive index of the polymerized material.
