For the light guide plate of the TFT-LCD, there have been increasing demands for higher brightness, thin and light-weight design, and lower power consumption. To meet these demands, a micro-prism-type frontlight that integrates a prismatic sheet and a light-guiding plate has been developed. In this paper, the influences of processing conditions on the brightness were studied lot the injection molding of the light guide plate. Based on the experiment with an actual mold, the design of experiments and the neural network theory were used lot choosing the optimal processing parameters to increase the brightness and the uniformity. The verification experiment also showed that the brightness and the uniformity were increased dramatically with the chosen processing conditions.

Light guide plate is one of most important components which are composed of back light unit, affecting the quality and performance of LCD. Average brightness and uniformity are especially key factors for designing the light guide unit. These qualities are affected and controlled by the pattern being attached to the back of light guide unit. In order to obtain high brightness and uniformity the optimized pattern design is adopted for LGP. In this study, optimized molding condition for LGP with 0.4 mm thickness was obtained by using the Moldflow simulation software and the optimized pattern for better brightness uniformity was designed for the thickness of the 0.4 mm by trial and error method. The brightness was measured for the different LGP thicknesses and the residual stress analysis was performed for 0.4 mmthickness by the photoelasticity and the results are compared with 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm thickness.

The effects of injection molding conditions on the uniformity and brightness of light guide plate(LGP) with micro-patterns were investigated in the present study. An injection molding system for stampers with mirco-pattern was designed and manufactured to perform experiment. Variations of injection molding speed, mold and melt temperature for LGP were considered in this work. Also, injection molding characteristics of LGP were investigated by numerical analysis using plastic injection molding commercial code. It was shown that injection molding conditions such as injection speed, melt temperature and mold temperature can have an effect on the uniformity and brightness of light guide plate.

본 논문에서는 LCD 판넬 밝기의 균일성을 향상시키기 위하여 램프간의 저항 차이를 검출하는 회로를 사용한다. 기준 loop와 비교 loop의 feedback 전압을 나누어 검출된 저항의 차이는 PWM duty를 결정하는 제어 모드와 연결하여 램프 저항에 맞는 전압을 램프에 인가한다. 기준 loop의 feedback 전압은 모든 loop의 기준 전압이 되며, 하나의 IC에 램프의 수만큼 외부 기판을 연결하여 사용할 수 있다. 모든 비교 loop의 램프들은 기준 램프와 같은 밝기를 유지하기 위해 에러를 보상하며, 결과적으로 제안된 회로는 기존의 회로에 비해 약 $40\%$ 밝기 균일성을 재선한다.

컬러 프린터의 성능을 결정하는 여러 요소 중 색 균일도는 프린터의 개발 단계에서나 완제품의 성능 평가 지표로 중요한 항목이다. 개발 현장에서는 현재 농도계를 사용하여 수동으로 색 균일도를 측정하고 그 측정 결과를 분석하여 성능을 평가한다. 본 논문에서는 스캐너와 평균 밝기를 사용하여 색 균일도를 자동으로 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법에서 사용하는 패턴과 스캐너를 이용하여, 위치에 따른 색 균일도를 추정하며, 실험을 통해 추정된 데이터가 농도계로부터 측정된 농도와 유사함을 보인다. 아울러 균일도에 대한 분석과 함께 현재 판매되고 여는 프린터와 스캐너를 이용하여 제안한 알고리즘의 유용성을 검증한다.

A computer code was developed to simulate both the thermal stresses introduced during the post-filling stage and the in-plane deformation after ejection process by finite element method based on the plane stress theory. The computer simulation was applied to the mold design of a 2 inch light guide plate (LGP) for thin film transistor (TFT)-liquid crystal displays (LCD). With injection molding experiments based on the design of experiments (DOE) technique, the influences of the processing conditions in injection molding on brightness and uniformity of the LGP were investigated, and the optimal processing parameters were selected to increase the brightness and uniformity. The verification experiment showed that the brightness and uniformity of the LGP were increased dramatically under the selected optimal processing conditions.

We proposed new light guide panel (LGP) fabrication method exploiting laser-processed inner scatterers and surface pattern. The proposed method has achieved LGP performance improvement in both brightness and uniformity. The inner scatterers and surface pattern of grid type were fabricated with a 2nd harmonic Nd:YAG pulse laser engraving system and a $CO_2$ laser scanning system, respectively. In the implementation of LGP, inner scatterers was arranged in accordance with linear or curved pattern with changing density and surface pattern was engraved on the surface of an inner-scatterers embedded LGP. The increase of scatterers' density and the use of surface patterns in both linear and curved pattern provided high luminance and uniformity enhancement. While thecurved pattern incorporated with increased scatterers' density and surface patterns yielded brightness improvement with preserving good uniformity, the linear pattern showed highly localized brightness near the light entrance of the LGP. We can also observe that the uniformity was mainly determined by pattern of inner scatterers, and the brightness was improved by the higher density and the utilization of surface patterns. From the results, the use of laser-processed inner and surface patterns can be a potential alternative for efficient and simple LGP fabrication method.

We propose a novel application of laser engraving to patterning of light guide panel (LGP) for backlight. The feasibility of three-dimensional engraved pattern in the LGP was verified by measuring brightness and uniformity. To improve the overall uniformity, we have modified proposed patterns and found improved design for patterns. The tailoring of pattern by using laser engraving method could endow the controllability of uniformity. The proposed LGPs are more efficient in both average brightness and uniformity of illumination than the conventional LGPs which have surface pattern on the panel.

(1) By comparing and analyzing the distribution of brightness as domestic lamps and Japanese products go thinner and lighter, we set an effective design standard. (2) By comparing and analyzing the feature, brightness, chromaticity and uniformity of domestic LGPs and Japanese products, early home-manufacturing and stabilization in home-manufacturing are possible. (3) By comparing and analyzing the distribution of brightness as sheets are varied, we can design an ideal sheet composition.

LGP for the small size exit was designed and fabricated. Pattern design method, which is the most important thing in the design of the LGP, was converted from the line type into the cross type. By using this new method, the brightness unevenness, which was very difficult problem to be solved in V-cutting method, was improved. Currently products had 78% of the brightness uniformity but newly developed product in this research had 87% of the brightness uniformity. Also the optimized design rule provided the improvement of the brightness of the LGP developed in this study, that has brightness of $871cd/m^2$ whichwas 98% higher than the common products.
