Laser projection display is a full color display system for large area. In this system, laser beams are modulated at acousto optic modulators(AOM) according to the video signal. AOM consists of a $TeO_2$ crystal and a $LiNbO_3$ transducer. We calculated the acoustic wave propagating from transducer to acousto optic media and made AOM by the calculated results. We compared calculated results with fabricated AOM by measuring modulation efficiency at various frequency. The modulation efficiency of AOM is 85% at the carrier frequency of 144MHz and the rise time is 41.5 ns.

This paper investigates the characteristics of a newly developed high density hollow cathode plasma(HCP) system and its application for the etching of silicon wafers. We used $SF_6$ and $O_2$ gases in the HCP dry etch process. This paper demonstrates very high plasma density of $2{\times}10^{12}cm^{-3}$ at a discharge current of 20 rna, Silicon etch rate of 1.3 ${\mu}m$/min was achieved with $SF_6/O_2$ plasma conditions of total gas pressure of 50 mTorr, gas flow rate of 40 seem, and RF power of200W. This paper presents surface etching characteristics on a crystalline silicon wafer and large area cast type multicrystlline silicon wafer. We obtained field emitter tips size of less than 0.1 ${\mu}m$ without any photomask step as well as with a conventional photolithography. Our experimental results can be applied to various display systems such as thin film growth and etching for TFT-LCDs, emitter tip formations for FEDs, and bright plasma discharge for PDP applications. In this research, we studied silicon etching properties by using the hollow cathode plasma system.

In this study, the characteristics of large area internal linear ICP sources of 1020mm X 920mm(substrate area is 880 X 660mm) were investigated using two different types of antenna, that is, a conventional serpentine-type antenna and a newly developed multiple U-type antenna. The multiple antenna showed a higher plasma density, a higher radical density, and more plasma stability compared to the serpentine-type antenna, and it appeared from the higher inductively coupling and less standing wave effect compared to the serpentine-type antenna. Using the multiple U-type antenna, the plasma density of $2\times10^{11}/cm^3$ with the plasma uniformity of 4% could be obtained using 15mTorr Ar and 5000W of RF power.

In lighting system where several large-area organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lighting panels are involved, panel aging may appear differently from each other, resulting in a falling-off in lighting quality. To achieve uniform light output across large-area OLED lighting panels, we have employed an optical feedback circuit. Light output from each OLED panel is monitored by the optical feedback circuit that consists of a photodiode, I-V converter, 10-bit analogdigital converter (ADC), and comparator. A photodiode generates current by detecting OLED light from one side of the glass substrate (i.e., edge emission). Namely, the target luminance from the emission area (bottom emission) of OLED panels is monitored by current generated from the photodiode mounted on a glass edge. To this end, we need to establish a mapping table between the ADC value and the luminance of bottom emission. The reference ADC value corresponds to the target luminance of OLED panels. If the ADC value is lower or higher than the reference one (i.e., when the luminance of OLED panel is lower or higher than its target luminance), a micro controller unit (MCU) adjusts the pulse width modulation (PWM) used for the control of the power supplied to OLED panels in such a way that the ADC value obtained from optical feedback is the same as the reference one. As such, the target luminance of each individual OLED panel is unchanged. With the optical feedback circuit included in the lighting system, we have observed only 2% difference in relative intensity of neighboring OLED panels.

In this talk, the general concept of roll-to-roll printing technologies will be introduced with basic fundamentals of ink formulations for printing electronic devices as the first part of the talk. As the second part, based on the R2R printing process, key factors for printing TFTs, IC, PV and display would be presented using the information from the case study of R2R gravure and offset.

Large area emissive displays have problems with nonuniform pixel characteristics and their individual ageing. A pixel integrated driver with pixel based optical feedback is presented to solve these problems. Photodetectors, optical feedback circuit and data handling capabilities are integrated in a high voltage CMOS technology.

We introduce a modified UV-imprint lithography, a resin transfer from the template to the substrate. We analyzed this method by considering the surface and interfacial free energies of the template-resinsubstrate system. This technique is purely fast and applicable to large area patterning.

In this paper, we describe and review the main techniques which are currently being used or studied, in order to synthesise thin films of device-worthy polycrystalline silicon material (poly-Si) on glass or other non-refractory large area substrates. The problems and limitations of the excimer laser processing are first emphasised and some novel or revisited crystallisation processes with good potential for industrialisation are subsequently presented and discussed.

A basic assessment is presented of the technical, economic and strategic challenges expected for manufacturing displays in a roll-to-roll format. Two general pathways are considered; one that results in dramatic cost reductions but results in sacrificing product performance, and another which is an extension of the conventional FPD cost-reduction from increased substrate size. While Roll-to-Roll fabrication is fundamentally possible, feasibility experiments will be required to address the most significant technical challenge: achieving and managing acceptable yield. In all respects, the efforts to achieve RTR manufacturing will be assisted by overlapping interests in other application areas such as flex circuit, photovoltaics and large area lighting.

Carbon nanotube -copper composite structures were fabricated using composite plating method and their field emission characteristics were investigated. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes synthesized by chemical vapor deposition were used in the present study. It was revealed that turn-on field of the structures was about 3.0 $V/{\mu}m$ at the current density of 0.1 ${\mu}A/cm^2$. We observed relatively uniform emission characteristics as well as stable emission currents. CNT-Cu composite plating method is efficient and it has no intrinsic limit on the plating area. Moreover, it gives strong adhesion between emitters and an electrode. The refore, we expect that CNT-Cu composite plating method can be applied to fabricate electron field emitters for large area FEDs and large area vacuum lighting sources.
