LGP(Light-Guide Panel) of LCD backlight is one of the major componets which affect on the product quality of LCD. The LGP with multi-side lamp has been analized for pattern design with the uniform distribution of brightness. When given the uniform distribution of brightness as target, the distribution of dot pattern has been designed for superposed distributions of brightness for each lamp. Multi-side lamp has been tested for various types such as ㄴ-, ㄷ-, and ㅁ -shapes. The present study enhances the possibility of LGP with multi-side lamp by showing the pricise control of brightness distribution.

Door Inside Lamp of railway rolling stock is installed on interior of the side doors and illuminated at door opening and closing, isolation and fault. So drivers or passengers can notice the door status visually. In the past, a single color or Bi-color LED Lamps have been using and one ~ multiple lamp was used to implement the feature according to client's requirements. (Example: Total of between 2 and 4 lamps are required for the Warning / Emergency operation / Isolation / Fault.) However these design is not easy to apply if there is the mounting space restrictions and the problems such as rising costs can be caused. In addition, it has vulnerability from point of view aesthetic aspects. Therefore the lamp type has been required that has small size and number of colors in order to resolve these problems. Recently multi LED type door status indication lamp have been developed that can meet the requirements and this lamp has been applied in many railway projects. In this study, I'll introduce the general characteristics and mechanical & electrical characteristics of multi LED type door status indication lamp to help development of this kinds of lamp.

LCD는 광변조기능을 가지는 수광 소자로서 발광원인 백라이트를 필요로 하는데 일반적으로 냉음극 방전램프(CCFL: Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp)가 사용된다. 기존의 권선형 변압기를 이용한 인버터를 구성하여 멀티램프를 구동하고 있지만 이는 코어나 권선 손실에 의한 효율 저하와 부피나 중량의 증가, 그리고 과열에 의한 화재의 위험성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 압전 변압기를 이용한 멀티램프 구동용 인버터를 설계 지침에 따라 구성하였다. 인버터 하나로 압전 변압기를 병렬로 연결하는 방식을 이용하였고, 또한 전류 부담이 적은 외관 전극 형광 램프(EEFL: External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp)를 이용한 멀티램프 구동 방법이 압전 인버터에 적용 가능한지를 확인하였다.

This paper proposes the design of a multi-color lamp using high brightness RGB LEDs for color variation. Appropriate number of RGB LEDs is so chosen according to the color mixing theory that the overall LEDs represent a color temperature of 6500K. Also, the chosen RGB LEDs are suitably arranged by using an optical design program. The lamp has an internal controller circuit, so it can be directly connected to the existing incandescent lamp socket. It's main body is comprised of two PCB layers. The upper layer contains 44 LEDs and the lower one has a simple microcontroller-based PWM control circuit. The lamp has functions of both ON/OFF control and PWM control, and enables color variation of over 100,000 colors and of more than 10 patterns.

As a LCD monitor is larger and thinner, a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) for backlight in LCD monitor gradually becomes longer and thinner. The backlight of a large LCD monitor, however, has a limitation in its brightness. In this study, a parallel multi-lamp is used in order to supply enough brightness. Though the CCFLs are made through a detail and equal manufacturing process, they don't have exactly the same features individually in their brightness, frequency, voltage and current. Consequently, it is difficult to have equal brightness at an early lighting condition or during lighting time. In this paper, a parallel multi-lamp which can have the same output under the same condition is designed. For this, 18 inch LCD monitor with four lamps is used. An inverter for multi-lamp driving is also used in this study. The newly designed inverter shows more than $90\%$ efficiency in its brightness input and output. Besides, it is also available for a multi-drive of other lamps.

Recently, LCD Backlight Unit is being replaced from cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL) to external electrode fluorescent lamp(EEFL) because the EEFL has high energy efficiency and long life. Also, it can reduce energy consumption and weight. So far, external electrode ring for EEFL is produced by sheet metal press forming process. Therefore it had low precision and much material loss. To solve these problems, Multi-Forming process that has five step forming process was invented. However, low productivity is another barrier. Product speed that is controlled by the rotational speed cannot be increased due to the unsatisfied design specification. The reason is that the gap between rolled two edge parts of the sheet plate is tightly inspected. Regarding this factor, the understanding of forming behavior to each process is inevitable. This paper describes the CAE analysis of the multi-forming process by PAM-STAMP.

본 논문에서는 멀티램프 구동이 유리하여 인버터 개수를 줄일 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있는 EEFL을 사용하였으며, 변압기의 자체 손실을 줄이고 소형화가 가능하며, 높은 승압비를 갖는 압전 변압기를 병렬로 연결하여 멀티램프 구동이 가능하도록 하였다. 최적의 EEFL 구동회로를 구성하기 위해서 Push-Pull 타입의 압전 인버터를 설계하였으며, 설계된 인버터 회로에 대한 시뮬레이션 분석을 통하여 타당성을 검증하였다. 향후 본 논문에서 제안하는 구동 방식을 대화면 LCD 백라이트에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Soft switching was applied to the multi-level inverter to enhance the performance of the high-intensity discharge (HID) ballast used in vehicle headlights. The electrical properties were investigated and the available modeling of ballast in steady state was calculated using mathematical methods. The result was used in analyzing the power characteristics. The modeling was confirmed by the experiment.
