The Color shift phenomenon is becoming a major degradation factor of the emitting color purity in the organic emitting diodes which is generating a plurality of colors. In this study, the basic structure of organic light emitting diode device is comprised of ITO/${\alpha}$-NPD/$Alq_3$:DCJTB[wt%]/$Alq_3$/Mg:Ag, we have carry out numerical simulation of the electric-optical characteristics in organic light emitting diode device to estimate the mechanism of color shift phenomenon. We have investigated the causes of the color shift through the change of DCJTB doping concentration ratio. As the result, we have confirmed that the changes of the recombination rate which generated by trapped electrons and holes is one of the major factors for the color shift phenomenon.

Existing instruments are composed independently according to their function and user constructed instrumentation system with those instruments. But in the late 1980s VXI bus enables to construct instrumentation system with various modular type instruments. For an VXI bus system with the word serial protocol, an increase of data size can degrade the system performance. In this paper shared memory protocol is proposed to overcome performance degradation. The shared memory protocol is analyzed using the GSPN and compared with that of the word serial protocol. It is shown that the shared memory protocol has a better performance than the word serial protocol. The VXI bus message based-system with the proposed shared memory protocol is constructed and experimented with signal generating device and FFT analyzing device. Up to 80 KHz input signal the result of FFT analysis is accurate and that result is agree with that of conventional FFT analyzer. In signal generating experiment from 100 KHz to 1.1 GHz sine wave is generated.

There is a close relationship between the performance and the heat generation of the electronic device. Heat generation causes a significant degradation of the durability and/or efficiency of the device. It is necessary to have an effective method to release the generated heat. Based on demands of the printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, it is necessary to develop a robust and reliable plating technique for substrates with high thermal conductivity, such as alumina ($Al_2O_3$), aluminium nitride (AlN), and silicon nitride ($Si_3N_4$). In this study, the plating of metal layers on an insulating silicon nitride ($Si_3N_4$) ceramic substrate was developed. We formed a Pd-$TiO_2$ adhesion layer and used APTES(3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane) to form OH groups on the surface and adhere the metal layer on the insulating $Si_3N_4$ substrate. We used an electroless Ni plating without sensitization/activation process, as Pd particles were nucleated on the $TiO_2$ layer. The electrical resistivity of Ni and Cu layers is $7.27{\times}10^{-5}$ and $1.32{\times}10^{-6}ohm-cm$ by 4 point prober, respectively. The adhesion strength is 2.506 N by scratch test.

For the base station or repeater which is in operation as part of a mobile communication system, any kind of degradation in antenna performance such as lowered gam or increased VSWR which maybe due to aging of antenna, connector corrosion or other environmental factors, is difficult to detect and react to immediately. In this paper, a VSWR measurement device which is capable of detecting the VSWR of a PCS forward path ($1,840\~1,870$MHz) antenna in operation in real time without any interruption in service is developed. Such regular measurement will allow the prediction of any serious failures and insure reliable operation of the antenna. All components of the antenna VSWR measurement device was researched so that the whole system could be produced and shown to be accurate in measuring the YSWR of an actual RF repeater in operation, proving it's effectiveness.

A new triode type Co-silicided Si FEA(field emitter array) was realized by Co-silicidation of Co coated Si FEA and its field emission properties were investigated. The field emission properties of the fabricated device through the unit pixel with $45{\times}45$ tip array in the area of $250{\mu\textrm{m}}{\times}250{\mu\textrm{m}}$ under high vacuum condition of $10^{-8}Torr$ were as follows : the turn-on voltage was about 35V and the anode current was about $1.2\mu\textrm{A}(0.6㎁/tip)$ at the bias of $V_A=500V\;and\; V_G=55V$. The fabricated device showed the stable electrical characteristics without degradation of field emission current for the long term operation except for the initial transient state. The low turn-on voltage and the high current stability of the Co-silicided Si FEA were due to the thermal and chemical stability and the low work function of silicide layer formed at the surface of Si tip.

In this paper, we describe implementation of a computer access device for the severly motor-disability. Many people with severe motor disabilities need an augmentative communication technology. Those who are totally paralyzed, or 'locked-in' cannot use conventional augmentative technologies, all of which require some measure of muscle control. The forehead is often the last site to suffer degradation in cases of severe disability and degenerative disease. For example, In ALS(Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) and MD(Muscular dystrophy) the ocular motorneurons and ocular muscles are usually spared permitting at least gross eye movements, but not precise eye pointing. We use brain and body forehead bio-potentials in a novel way to generate multiple signals for computer control inputs. A bio-amplifier within this device separates the forehead signal into three frequency channels. The lowest channel is responsive to bio-potentials resulting from an eye motion, and second channel is the band pass derived between 0.5 and 45Hz, falling within the accepted Electroencephalographic(EEG) range. A digital processing station subdivides this region into eleven components frequency bands using FFT algorithm. The third channel is defined as an Electromyographic(EMG) signal. It responds to contractions of facial muscles and is well suited to discrete on/off switch closures, keyboard commands. These signals are transmitted to a PC that analyzes in a time series and a frequency region and discriminates user's intentions. That software graphically displays user's bio-potential signals in the real time, therefore user can see their own bio-potentials and control their physiological signals little by little after some training sessions. As a result, we confirmed the performance and availability of the developed system with experimental user's bio-potentials.

In this study, we fabricate a thin- and dense-BCuP-5 coating layer, one of the switching device multilayers, through a plasma spray process. In addition, the microstructure and macroscopic properties of the coating layer, such as hardness and bond strength, are investigated. Both the initial powder feedstock and plasma-sprayed BCuP-5 coating layer show the main Cu phase, Cu-Ag-Cu₃P ternary phases, and Ag phase. This means that microstructural degradation does not occur during plasma spraying. The Vickers hardness of the coating layer was measured as 117.0 HV, indicating that the fine distribution of the three phases enables the excellent mechanical properties of the plasma-sprayed BCuP-5 coating layer. The pull-off strength of the plasma-sprayed BCuP-5 coating layer is measured as 16.5 kg/㎠. Based on the above findings, the applicability of plasma spray for the fabrication process of low-cost multi-layered electronic contact materials is discussed and suggested.

System Packet Interface Level 4 Phase(SPI-4.2) is an interface for packet and cell transfer between a physical layer(PHY) device and a link layer device, for aggregate bandwidths of OC-192 ATM and Packet Over Sonet/SDH(POS), as well as 10Gbps Ethernet applications. In this paper, we performs the research for SPI-4.2. Also we analyze the performance of SPI-4.2 interface module after modeling using C programming language. This paper shows that SPI-4.2 interface module with 512-word FIFO depth is able to be adapted for the offered loads to 97％ in random uniform traffic and 94％ in bursty traffic with bursty length 32. SPI-4.2 interface module can experience an performance degradation due to heavy overhead when it massively receives small size packets less than 14-byte. SPI-4.2 interface module is suited for line cards in gigabit/terabit routers, and optical cross-connect switches, and SONET/SDH-based transmission systems.

We designate multiple target areas for the advertisement disseminations in order to resolve the problem of advertisement transmission efficiency degradation due to overlapped device-to-device (D2D) transmissions and unnecessary advertisement transmissions. We here propose an efficient advertisement dissemination algorithm based on pre-selected target areas considering user density. In our proposed algorithm, relay nodes are gradually selected according to the locations of the target areas. We mathematically analyze D2D advertisement coverages of our proposed algorithm, and compare the various simulation results of the proposed algorithm with those of the conventional algorithm according to the several simulation scenarios via intensive simulations.

In this paper, we propose a fast algorithm for low-power image enhancement method for mobile LCD. In the proposed fast algorithm, the spatial resolution of the input image is significantly reduced, and the image characteristics are analyzed on the reduced resolution image to find a dimming rate adaptive to the image content, thereby saving power. The proposed fast adaptive dimming and image enhancement algorithm is implemented as an application that runs on an Android device. Image quality evaluation and running time analysis experiments on the device indicate that the proposed fast algorithm jointly minimizes the quality degradation and power consumption, reducing the required computation load by over 95%.
