Polymer dispersed liquid crystal mode can be classified into two cases, normally scattering mode (NS) and normally transparent (NT) mode according to an initial state. Electro-optic characteristic NS/NT PDLC mode can be improved by controlling the factors to influence the phase separation. In case of NS PDLC mode, we inspected change of a phase separation as a function of curing temperature for the mixture of E7 and NOA65 with different ratios. When the LC concentration is less than polymer such as LC : NOA65 = 40 : 60wt%, the PDLC cell is influenced strongly by the curing temperature. However, when LC concentration is much less than polymer such as LC : NOA65 : 80 : 20wt%, it is influenced slightly by the curing temperature. In case of NT PDLC mode, we observed change of a phase separation as a function of the ratio of the mixture and UV conditions such as curing temperature, UV intensity The cell made with strong UV intensity and curing temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, in case that the ratio of LC to polymer is 70:30wt%, showed good electro-optic characteristics.

유전율 이방성이 음인 액정과 UV 경화용 단량체를 사용해 초기에 투명한 상태인 고분자 분산형 액정 (PDLC)셀을 제작하였고 그 셀의 전기 광학 특성을 연구하였다. 액정과 단량체의 비율이 70/30 wt%, 2$0^{\circ}C$의 노광 온도, 198㎽/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 의 노광 세기에서 만들어진 셀이 명암 대비율이 가장 우수하였다. 이 조건에서 만들어진 초기에 투명한 상태를 나타내는 고분자 분산형 액정 셀은 종래 PDLC 셀과 달리 액정들이 초기에 수직 배향막에 의해 기판에 수직으로 서게 되고 노광에 의해 중합된 고분자는 액정의 배열에 영향을 크게 미치지 않아 전압 인가 전에는 입사 된 빛이 통과하게 된다. 전압인가 시에는 전기장에 액정들이 기판에 수직 방향으로 누우면서 고분자와 액정의 굴절을 차이를 만들어내고 이는 입사된 빛을 산란시킨다. 또한 이러한 초기에 투명한 상태를 나타내는 PDLC 셀은 기존의 초기에 산란을 일으키는 PDLC 셀보다 우수한 시야각 특성을 보여주었다.

The construction of shield tunnelling in urban sites is facing serious risks from complex and changeable underground conditions. Construction problems in the sand-clay mixed ground have been more reported in recent decades for its poor control of soil loss in tunnel face, ground settlement and supporting pressure. Since the limitations of observation methods, the conventional physical modelling experiments normally simplify the tunnelling to a plane strain situation whose results are not reliable in mixed ground cases which exhibit more complicated responses. We propose a new method for the study of the mixed ground tunnel through which mixed lays are simulated with transparent soil surrogates exhibiting different mechanical properties. An experimental framework for the transparent soil modelling of the mixed ground tunnel was established incorporated with the self-developed digital image correlation system (PhotoInfor). To understand better the response of face stability, ground deformation, settlement and supporting phenomenon to tunnelling excavation in the sand-clay mixed ground, a series of case studies were carried out comparing the results from cases subjected to different buried depths and mixed phenomenon. The results indicate that the deformation mode, settlement and supporting phenomenon vary with the mixed phenomenon and buried depth. Moreover, a stratigraphic effect exists that the ground movement around mixed face reveals a notable difference.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) has a lot of variations of its properties because it is basically in an amorphous state. Therefore, the differences in composition ratio of ITO can result in alteration of electrical properties. Normally, ITO is considered as transparent conductive oxide (TCO), possessing excellent properties for the optical and electrical devices. Quantitatively, TCO has transparency over 80 percent within the range of 380nm to 780nm, which is visible light although its specific resistance is less than $10-3{\Omega}/cm$. Thus, the solar cell is the best example for which ITO has perfectly matching profile. In addition, when ITO is used as transparent conductive electrode, this material essentially has to have a proper work function with contact materials. For instance, heterojunction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) solar cell could have both front ITO and backside ITO. Because each side of ITO films has different type of contact materials, p-type amorphous silicon and n-type amorphous silicon, work function of ITO has to be modified to transport carrier with low built-in potential and Schottky barrier, and approximately requires variation from 3 eV to 5 eV. In this study, we examine the change of work function for different sputtering conditions using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). Structure of ITO films was investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Optical transmittance of the films was evaluated by using an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer

The glass frit has been used in transparent dielectric, barrier rib and electrode of PDP (Plasma display panel). In PDP fabrication, the firing temperature of glass frit is normally 550~$580^{\circ}C$ with conventional heating. However, there are a problem that silver in electrode is diffused throughout the transparent dielectric. For inhibiting the Ag diffusion we considered use of the microwave heating. We investigated firing of glass frit compared between conventional and microwave heating. After firing by two types of heating, the diffusion of silver is determined using a optical microscope and UV-spectrometer. Based on the our results, the microwave heating should be a candidate to heating source for high efficacy in PDP.

적색 칼라 필터 재료인 ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$가 고온 제조 공정을 거치는 동안 화학적인 안정성에 관해서 연구한 것이다. PDP(Plasma Display Panel)에 있어서 통상적으로 칼라 필터 층의 위에 사용되고 있는 투명 유전체의 경우는 광의 투과도를 높이기 위하여 ZnO를 첨가한다. ZnO가 포함되어 있는 유전체의 경우는 500$^{\circ}$C 이상에서 ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$의 열적 안정성을 감소시켜 칼라 필터로서의 기능을 완전히 상실하게 되어 투명하게 된다. 반면에 ZnO가 포함되지 않는 투명 유전체의 경우는 ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$가 적색의 색상을 유지하면서 칼라필터로서의 기능을 유지하고 있었다. ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$가 칼라 필터로 기능을 유지하기 위해서는 ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$와 접촉하는 투명 유전체는 ZnO가 포함되지 않는 투명 유전체를 사용하여 1차 보호막을 형성한 후 그 위에 ZnO가 포함된 투명 유전체층을 형성하면 적색 칼라 필터가 색상을 유지하게 된다.

A normally open thermopneumaticc-actuated microvalve has been fabricated and their properties are investigated. The advantages of the proposed microvalve are of the low cost fabrication process and the transparent optical property using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and indium tin oxide (ITO) glass. The fabricated microvalves with in-channel configuration are easily integrated with other microfluidic devices on the same substrate. The fabrication process of thermopneumatic-actuated microvalvesusing PDMS is very simple and its performance is very suitable for a disposable lab-on-a-chip. The PDMS membrane deflection increases and the flow rates of the microchannel with microvalvels decrease as the applied power to the ITO heater increases. The powers at flow-off are dependent on the membrane thickness and the applied inlet pressure but are independent of the channel width of microvalves. The flow rate is well controlled by the switching function of ITO heater and the closing/opening times are around 20 sec and 25 sec, respectively.

As an alternative energy, Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have received much attention due to low cost manufacturing procedure and high energy consumption rate. Incorporating scattering centers in the nanocrystalline photoanode or additional scattering layers on the nanocrystalline photoanode is an effective way to enhance the light harvest efficiency of the photoanode and the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The light scattering abilities of these scattering layers also depend on the relative sizes and phase of the particles in the layers. A higher surface area is normally obtained using large particle sizes. Therefore, transparent high surface area $TiO_2$ layers and an additional scattering layer consisting of $TiO_2$-Rutile 500 nm paste with relatively larger particles are attractive. In this work, we investigates the applicability of a hybrid $TiO_2$ electrode (or a working electrode with a light scattering layer) in a DSSCs. We fabrication various thin film using $TiO_2$ paste 20 nm and $TiO_2$ paste 500 nm. As a result, the efficiency of the a single structure thin film was 3.35% and the efficiency as scattering layer of hybrid structure thin film was 4.36%, 4.73%.

Sedimentation and depositional pattern of the fine-grained sediments in the southeastern inner shelf of Korea were studied using a very high-resolution seismic profiles and sediment data. The recent mud deposits up to 45 m thick are distributed in the inner shelf forming a nearshore belt from the eastern part of Geoje Island to off the Pohang along the coast. The sediment in this area consists of homogeneous mud with mean grain size between $8.6\;to\;5.3\phi$ and does not show any distinct variability It gradually becomes finer and well sorted northeastward along the coast. Sediments normally appear as structureless massive mud but X-radiographs show that some bioturbation and faint lamination are present. The sediments accumulate at a rate of 0.18-0.44 cm/yr and the rate coincides well with the long-term (a 1000-year scale) accumulation based on very high-resolution seismic data. Distribution of wet bulk density and velocity shows a gradual increase from the southeastern part of Ulsan to off Pohang, whereas porosity shows a reverse pattern. Correlations between velocity and porosity/mean grain size are different from other regions compared, due to the difference of sediment texture and sedimentary environment. The recent shelf deposits are seismically characterized by three distinct facies: 1) well-stratified (near the river mouth), 2) semi-transparent (eastern part of Geoje Island), and 3) transparent (off Ulsan). The results suggest that fine-grained sediment derived from rivers, forming a nearshore mud belt, have been transported northeastward by the northeastward-flowing coastal current.

ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) is a system to settle disputes without having to pursue a judgment through the courts; it provides an alternative to conventional judicial proceedings. As such, ADR is available to resolve a wide range of disputes, ranging from minor disagreements between neighbors to contracts involving millions of dollars. One can say there has been “efficient resolution of a dispute” only when it has been settled rapidly and finally to the satisfaction of all parties concerned, inexpensively and in a transparent manner. In this respect, ADR may well be regarded as the most efficient method to resolve disputes. In order to establish and disseminate ADR as a practical dispute-settlement procedure, first, governmental financial support is necessary, rather than having to depend upon fees collected from the disputing parties. At the same time, various inducement policies also are required. The most important factor is to make people aware of the fact that ADR is a low-cost, speedy system and more practical compared with other procedures. Second, cooperation from legal circles, lawyers in particular, is absolutely necessary. If disputes become serious, the general public normally seeks out lawyers for advice. Third, disputing parties have to be convinced of the benefits of ADR, secure in the knowledge that ADR will provide them not only with economic benefit but also a satisfactory result. Diverse ADR procedures should be developed and implemented to facilitate participation in a comfortable atmosphere with a mutually friendly relationship. The most important factor in achieving the wider use of ADR, which is attracting more attention of late, is the expectation that it will bring a satisfactory resolution to the related parties in dispute. The trend of seeking a new dispute-settlement method also reflects the changing sense of values in society today. Therefore, one specific method is not suitable for all kinds of disputes. A proper system should offer different approaches according to the pattern and type of dispute and the parties concerned. In selecting a dispute-resolution system, several factors have to be considered - the relationship between the parties, their financial situations, the necessity of maintaining confidentiality, urgency for settlement, etc. In the light of all these, it is desirable for the disputing parties to select the most appropriate of the available systems, not blindly turning to the courts, if and when a dispute arises.
