To reduce manufacturing costs of crystalline silicon solar cells, silicon wafers have become thinner. In relation to this, the properties of the aluminium-back surface field (Al-BSF) are considered an important factor in solar cell performance. Generally, screen-printing and a rapid thermal process (RTP) are utilized together to form the Al-BSF. This study evaluates Al-BSF formation on a (111) textured back surface compared with a (100) flat back surface with variation of ramp up rates from 18 to $89^{\circ}C$/s for the RTP annealing conditions. To make different back surface morphologies, one side texturing using a silicon nitride film and double side texturing were carried out. After aluminium screen-printing, Al-BSF formed according to the RTP annealing conditions. A metal etching process in hydrochloric acid solution was carried out to assess the quality of Al-BSF. Saturation currents were calculated by using quasi-steady-state photoconductance. The surface morphologies observed by scanning electron microscopy and a non-contacting optical profiler. Also, sheet resistances and bulk carrier concentration were measured by a 4-point probe and hall measurement system. From the results, a faster ramp up during Al-BSF formation yielded better quality than a slower ramp up process due to temperature uniformity of silicon and the aluminium surface. Also, in the Al-BSF formation process, the (111) textured back surface is significantly affected by the ramp up rates compared with the (100) flat back surface.

Femtosecond laser patterning of ITO on a touch screen panel with a shaped fs laser beam was investigated. A quasi flat-top beam was formed using a variable mask and a planoconvex lens. The spatial profile of the original Gaussian beam and the shaped beam were monitored by a CCD beam profiler. The laser patterned ITO film was examined using an optical microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). It turned out that the quality of the ITO pattern fabricated by a shaped beam is superior to that of the pattern without beam shaping in terms of debris generation, height of the craters, and homogeneity of the bottom. Optimum processing window was determined at the laser irradiance exhibiting 100% removal of Sn. The removal rate of In was measured to be 83%.

Analog film/screen systems have been being changed to a digital x-ray imaging device using direct conversion materials. Photocoductors for a direct detection flat-panel imager require high x-ray absorption, ionization and charge collection, low leakage current and large area deposition. In this work, $HgI_2$ films with excellent properties for x-ray detector were deposited by screen printing method. The thickness of $HgI_2$ film was about $150\;{\mu}m$. The passivation layer is fabricated using a-Se and parlyene, the both fabrication $HgI_2$ film were compared for analyzing the leakage current reduction. We measured electrical properties-leakage current, photosensitivity, SNR though I-V measurement, As the result, $HgI_2$ film using a-Se passivation layer had the greater

Comparing with film-screen system, flat-panel detector has extensive dynamic range. Focusing flat-panel detector, whole body human phantom PBU-50 (Kyoto, kagaku, Japan) was used to perform comparative study of the estimate of image quality and exposure dose. the exposure condition was 81kV and 20mAs, which is used for Abdomen supine exam in clinical area. As a result of the kV change of the interpreted medical image which has over 30dB of PSNR value, the value of DAP shows the difference of 19.6 times. Moreover, the result of comparing kV change with effective dose of ICRP 103 shows that stochastic effect was increased by over exposure. Therefore, it is significantly necessary that digital radiation technical chart will be used to obtain high quality image and make the standard of dose by educating radio-technologist continually.

Coal-Water slurry (CWS) is a new potential form of fuel for use in power plants and industrial furnaces. The evaporation and ignition characteristics of CWS have been studied in the post-flame region generated by a flat flame burner. Individual droplets with initial diameters of 1-3mm were supported around the thermocouples and raidly exposed to a hot gas stream. The gas temperature ranged between $950^{\circ}C$ and 1600.deg. C at atmospheric pressure. The effect of droplet size, gas temperature and radiative heat transfer by screen were studied experimentally. The ignition criterion was either a rapid temperature rise in time-temperatuire curves or onset of visible flame in experiment. Incresing the gas temperature or decreasing the droplet size reduced the time required for evaporation and ignition.

The process of solidification of metal is accompanied by liquid-solid change and known as Stefan's heat conduction problem on the moving boundary. In this study the temperature distribution in ingot and metallic mould during casting was analyzed by the two dimensional heat conduction theory. The transient temperature distribution was numerically calculated using a finite element method on the nodal point of mesh screen representing ingot and mould cross section. The theory was applied on the casting of aluminum(purity ; 99%) in flat ingot mould of GC25. The analysis will make it possible to calculate an optimum mould shape of which temperature gradient becomes minimum.

In this paper, we developed a novel hyperreality display called the Head Dome Projector (HDP). The HDP is a head-mounted display consisting of a dome-shaped screen with a very small radius of 40 cm, a mobile projector with ultra-wide projection lens and LED light sources. The main feature of the HDP is very wide viewing angle of 160 degrees horizontally by 120 degrees vertically comparable to the human visual field of view without head tracking and 360 degrees by 360 degrees with head tracking. According to our subjective evaluation comparing the HDP with a flat-panel display (FPD), the HDP realizes hyperreality 2.5 points higher than that realized by an FPD in the case of ${\pm}5$ level evaluation for HD motion images.

Nowadays, CRTs are threatened by the flat panel displays (FPD). The screen quality of the CRT is one of best among the displays, however, the depth of CRTs becomes one of the most important design factor to maintain the dominated portion in the display market. When designing slim CRTs, the structure of the glass is important design factor because of the weight and safety. The stress in the glass is increased according to the shortening the total length of tube. The residual stress of the seal is also a major factor should be considered due to the large seal edge thickness. The glass design concept for Vixlim is introduced in this paper.

In the full white pattern, white uniformity means the degree of uniform distribution of white color and luminance across the whole screen. Among the FPDs(Flat Panel Displays), the TFT-LCD has weak point of viewing angle. The viewing angle considering location and direction can cause different image quality of the TFT-LCD. Therefore, white uniformity of the TFT-LCD must consider viewing angle. Based on international standards, this study proposes an alternative that is realistic and ergonomic measurement of white uniformity of the TFT-LCD.
