본 논문에서는 고전압 공정기술을 이용하여 고속 디밍제어가 가능한 고출력-LED 드라이버를 설계하였다. 제안하는 고출력-LED 드라이버는 디밍신호를 통해서 LED에 필요한 전류량을 예측하고, 예측된 전류의 일부분을 인덕터 전류로 피드백시키는 방법을 사용하여서, LED 전류 상승시간이 최소화되도록 설계하였다. 기존 고출력-LED 드라이버의 최소 LED 전류 상승시간은 $3{\mu}s$로 제한된 반면 제안하는 고출력-LED 드라이버의 최소 LED전류 상승시간은 1/10 정도로 감소되었다. 설계된 LED 드라이버는 $0.35{\mu}m$ 60V BCDMOS 2-poly 4-metal 공정으로 제작되었으며 측정 결과 입력전압 12V, 9개의 백색 LED, 353mA LED전류, 1KHz 디밍주파수에서 LED전류 상승시간과 전력전달효율은 각각 240ns, 93.7%로 측정되었다.

본 논문에서는 가시광 통신시스템에서 고속 전송을 위한 변조 기법에 대해서 분석하고, 최적의 비직교 다중 전송을 위한 Dimming level 및 송신 전력 비율에 대해서 연구하였다. 기존의 가시광 통신은 전송 속도를 높이기 위한 멀티전송이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 송신단에서 고속 전송을 위해서는 반드시 다중 전송기법이 필요한데, 일반적인 가시광 통신은 다중 전송에 한계가 있기 때문에 고속 전송을 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 최근에는 이미지 센서인 Optical Camera Communication(OCC)을 가시광 통신에 적용한 VLC-OCC가 연구되어 기존 가시광 통신이 가지는 다중 전송의 한계를 극복하였다. 그러나 VLC-OCC 방식은 외부 조도의 영향을 더 많이 받고, 수신단에서 검출이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 또한, 다중 전송을 위한 LED 매트릭스의 위치 인식과 딥러닝을 위한 데이터 셋 신호처리를 위한 Processing-time이 필요하기 때문에 시스템의 복잡도가 증가하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 비직교 다중 전송 방식을 적용한 고속 가시광 통신을 위한 다중 변조 방식과 그에 따른 향후 연구 방향을 제안하였다.

LED(Light Emitting Diode) is a semiconductor device utilizing electroluminescent effect is a phenomenon in which a type of P-N junction diode, the light of short wavelength which a voltage is applied in the forward direction is released. LED is advantageous in reducing the energy as environmentally materials that can greatly reduce the carbon emissions, recent it has attracted attention IT(Information Technology) and GT(Green Technology) industry. In addition, there are advantages long life, high efficiency, and excellent response speed, LED have come into the spotlight as the illumination means to replace the existing fluorescent light and incandescent light bulb. When connecting to MR16 electronic transformer for existing LED driver circuit, due to malfunction of the dimmer and the electronic transformer, flicker occurs and linear dimming is not possible. Therefore, in this paper, we suggest an LED drive circuit there is no flicker with the corresponding dimming MR16 electronic transformer. Further, we explain the principles of the LED current control technique and the principle of the drive circuit of the LED, in order to validate the proposed circuit through prototyping and simulation.

We have investigated a coronal jet observed near the limb on 2010 June 27 by the Hinode/X-Ray Telescope (XRT), EUV Imaging Spectrograph (EIS), and Solar Optical Telescope (SOT), and the SDO/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI), and on the disk by STEREO-A/EUVI. From EUV (AIA and EIS) and soft X-ray (XRT) images we have identified both cool and hot jets. There was a small loop eruption in Ca II images of the SOT before the jet eruption. Using high temporal and multi wavelength AIA images, we found that the hot jet preceded its associated cool jet by about 2 minutes. The cool jet showed helical-like structures during the rising period. According to the spectroscopic analysis, the jet's emission changed from blue to red shift with time, implying helical motions in the jet. The STEREO observation, which enabled us to observe the jet projected against the disk, showed that there was a dim loop associated with the jet. We have measured a propagation speed of ~800 km/s for the dimming front. This is comparable to the Alfven speed in the loop computed from a magnetic field extrapolation of the HMI photospheric field measured 5 days earlier and the loop densities obtained from EIS Fe XIV line ratios. We interpret the dimming as indicating the presence of Alfvenic waves initiated by reconnection in the upper chromosphere.

We have studied the formation of coronal holes (CHs) associated with halo CMEs. For this study, we used multi-wavelength data from Yohkoh Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT), GOES Soft X-ray Imager (SXI), SOHO EIT 195 ${\AA}$, SOHO MDI magnetogram, MLSO He I 10830 ${\AA}$, and BBSO H-alpha. The CHs are characterized by open magentic field regions with low emission, density, and temperature and their open fields drive high speed solar winds which cause geomagnetic storms. So far, the formation and the evolution of CHs are not well understood. The formation of the dark region associated with the eruption of a CME is well known as "coronal dimming" which may be caused by the mass depletion near the CME footpoint. It is different from a typical CH since it persists for only one or two days. In this study, we present three cases that show the formation of coronal holes which are associated with three halo CMEs: 1) 2000 Jul 14, 2) 2003 Oct 28, 3) 2005 May 13. In the first case, hot plasma was ejected during a weak eruption and then filled out the pre-existing CH. After the halo CME occurred, the hot plasma region becomes a CH again. In the second and the third cases, we found newly formed CHs just after their associated CMEs. All three coronal holes are associated with strong flares and persist over 3 days until they disappeared by the solar rotation. Examining the MDI magnetograms, we found that the magnetic polarity of each CH region has one polarity. Based on these results, we suggest that the coronal holes can be formed by the CMEs and they should be distinguished from the coronal dimming.

Electrochromic devices (ECDs) have been drawing great attention due to their high color contrast, low power consumption, and memory effect, and can be used in smart windows, automatic dimming mirrors, and information display devices. As with other electronic devices such as LEDs (light emitting diodes), solar cells, and transistors, the mechanical flexibility of ECDs is one of the most important issue for their potential applications. In this paper, we report on flexible ECDs (f-ECDs) fabricated using an all-in-one EC gel, which is a mixture of electrolyte and EC material. The f-ECDs are compared with rigid ECDs (r-ECDs) on ITO glass substrate in terms of color contrast, coloration efficiency, and switching speed. It is confirmed that the f-ECDs embedding all-in-one gel show strong blue absorption and have competitive EC performance. Repetitive bending tests show a degradation of electrochromic performance, which must be improved using an optimized device fabrication process.
