We propose a post-processing algorithm to improve the quality of the RGB image generated by deep learning based colorization from the gray-scale image of an infrared camera. Wavelet fusion is used to generate a new luminance component of the RGB image luminance component from the deep learning model and the luminance component of the infrared camera. PSNR is increased for all experimental images by applying the proposed algorithm to RGB images generated by two deep learning models of SegNet and DCGAN. For the SegNet model, the average PSNR is improved by 1.3906dB at level 1 of the Haar wavelet method. For the DCGAN model, PSNR is improved 0.0759dB on the average at level 5 of the Daubechies wavelet method. It is also confirmed that the edge components are emphasized by the post-processing and the visibility is improved.

ITO is widely used as an anode material in OLED, because of its good transparency, low electrical resistivity, high work function, and efficient hole injection properties. The interface between the electrode and the organic layer in the OLED effects the charge injection process and may influence the electrical and the luminance properties. Surface treatment of ITO, such as an Aquaregia treatment has been shown to enhance the efficiency, and luminance characteristics of the OLED. In this study, we investigated the effect of Aquaregia treatment. The fundamental structures of the OLED were ITO/NPB/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al. The current density-voltage-luminance, efficiency, and lifetime characteristics were measured with untreated and Aquaregia-treated ITO substrates. The Aquaregia treatment was found to enhance the performance of OLED. For the Aquaregia treated device, the maximum luminance and efficiency were increased by about 2 times compared to the untreated device. The mechanism of the Aquaregia treatment is discussed based on AFM analyses.

As a display becomes large recently, Acquisition of high luminance and Luminance uniformity is becoming difficult in the existing CCFL or EEFL backlight system. So, study for a performance enhancement has enforced. but lamp development of flat type is asked for high luminance and a luminance uniformity security in of LCD and area anger trend ultimately. In this paper, we changed a tip shape of an electrode for production by the most suitable LCD backlight surface light source, and confirmed discharge characteristic along discharge gas pressure and voltage, and confirmed electric field distribution and discharge energy characteristic through a Maxwell 2D simulation. Therefore the discharge firing voltage characteristic showed a low characteristic than a rectangular type and round type in case of electrode which used tip of a triangle type, and displayed a discharge electric current as a same voltage was low.

In this paper, an illumination optical system that can mitigate the saturation phenomenon in the center of an image (caused by the typical flexible-endoscope illumination system using LEDs with Lambertian light distribution) is designed. When an LED with Lambertian light distribution is used as a light source, the amount of light in the center of the endoscopic illumination system is relatively high, compared to the periphery, causing saturation in the image. Since this phenomenon causes difficulty in detecting the patient's lesion, it is necessary to find a lighting-system design that can alleviate the saturation phenomenon. Therefore, in this paper a lighting system with bat-wing light distribution, which can lower the intensity at the center and secure the maximum amount of light at the maximum light distribution angle, is designed. In addition, to check the performance of the designed lighting system, a simulation of illumination and luminance is conducted for a system using a common aspherical lens with otherwise the same components. As a result, it is confirmed that the lighting system designed in this paper effectively reduces the luminance value at the center and secures more luminance values at the periphery than the familiar lighting system.

Low road lighting is a lighting device that complements the shortcomings of existing pillar-type street lights. It is a lighting device that emits light from the side of the road surface and adjusts the luminance of the road surface like a light carpet. In this paper, to achieve full commercialization, we analyzed the luminance of the installed road surface and studied whether lighting could replace existing road lighting. In this study, the LMK (Luminance Measurement Camera) LABSOFT program was used to measure and analyze the surface luminance of road lighting, and the RELUX program was used to evaluate and analyze the simulation performance to determine light-based lighting conditions. A study was conducted to determine whether replacing pillar-type road lighting with low-level road lighting in a real environment would ensure comfortable and safe night vision for drivers at night.

본 논문에서는 이미지 센서에 의해 발생하는 노이즈를 제거하기 위한 적응적 로컬 시그마 필터 장치를 제안하였다. 이미지 센서에 의해 발생하는 작은 노이즈는 이미지 센서의 아날로그 게인과 노출시간의 증가로 인해 영상 정보와 함께 증폭되며 이러한 노이즈 제거를 목표로 시스템을 설계 하였다. Flatness Index Map 알고리즘을 사용해 영상의 윤곽선을 추출하였으며, 임계치가 영상의 휘도에 따라 적응적으로 변화하도록 설계하여 고조도 영상에서는 윤곽선 추출을 수행하지 않으며, 저조도에서만 윤곽선을 추출하도록 하였다. 추출된 윤곽선을 판단하여 그에 해당하는 픽셀에 대해서만 Local Sigma Filter 알고리즘을 사용하여 노이즈 제거를 수행 하였다. 설계된 필터의 성능 검증을 위해 윈도우 테스트 프로그램을 제작하였다. 그리고 HDL을 사용해 하드웨어로 설계하였으며, FPGA Demonstration board와 $1280{\times}720$ 이미지 사이즈, 30 frame/sec의 성능을 갖는 HD급 CMOS 이미지 센서를 사용해 하드웨어로 설계된 로컬 시그마 필터의 동작을 검증하였다.

최근 확산기능과 집광기능을 동시에 가지는 복합필름에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 본 시뮬레이션연구에서는 복합필름으로 주목 받고 있는 렌티큘라 렌즈필름의 광학구조를 최적화하고 이를 기존의 백라이트가 보이는 광학 성능과 비교하였다. 보다 정확한 시뮬레이션의 수행을 위해 시험적으로 제작된 렌티큘라 렌즈필름이 보이는 휘도의 시야각 분포를 측정하였고 이 실험 결과를 재현할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 조건, 특히 도광판의 산란 패턴이 가지는 쌍방향 산란분포함수의 수학적 모델을 확보하였다. 이에 근거해서 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과 렌티큘라 렌즈의 종횡비가 1.25, 굴절률이 1.65인 조건에서 이 필름의 집광성능이 최대가 됨을 확인하였다. 최적화된 렌티큘라 렌즈필름이 1매 포함된 백라이트 모델은 프리즘필름이 1매 포함된 기존의 백라이트에 비해 집광성능이 현저히 떨어졌지만 렌티큘라 렌즈필름 2매를 직교해서 적용하게 되면 프리즘필름 1매가 가지는 집광 성능과 비슷한 성능을 달성함과 동시에 부드러운 시야각 특성의 구현에 기여할 수 있다는 점을 확인하였다.

The performance of the daylighting in buildings depends on building site and shape. As an energy saving design strategy, daylighting is a key issue in green building design. In this paper, the influence of the adjacent or obstructed building on daylighting performance of the office building in urban area was analyzed. A typical office building about 20 storeys with obstructed buildings has been modeled and simulated using Radiance. The parametric simulations have been performed to analyze the influence of the daylighting performance (illuminance, luminance) of the analyzed office. The results show that the possibility of the glare was decreased when the obstructed building is located in south, also the illuminance level was significantly decreased. When the obstructed building is located in north, the changes of the illuminance level and luminance possibility were somewhat small compared to the unobstructed condition. The daylighting performance of the analyzed building was most affected by the obstructed building in winter season.

A highly simplified backlight unit mainly composed of diffractive grating in sub-micron order imprinted light-guide plate (LGP) is proposed for edge-lit backlight unit. Optical characteristics of the imprinted LGP are examined by RCWA and the performance is verified through Monte Carlo simulation. Results show that the diffraction efficiency, luminous flux and its uniformity over the area are significantly affected by the angle of incident ray. Consequently couples of design considerations are additionally proposed to enhance luminous flux. In terms of peak luminance and out-coupling luminous flux, the experimental results are agreed well with the performance simulation. Finally, compared with optical characteristics of conventional backlight unit, we could conclude that the proposed simplified backlight unit made of diffractive grating imprinted light-guide plate is a good substitute for the conventional backlight unit.
