In this study, we executed an environmental impact assessment about recycling of ITO (Indium Tin Oxide), used for touch panel. ITO is mainly used to make transparent conductive coatings for touch and flat screen LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), ELD (Emitting Light Device), PDP (Plasma Display Panel). This demand is increasing little by little. but form current status, ITO is discarded than recycling. It is important to recycling ITO for national strategies about resource conservation, and reduce environmental burden. Also Landfill or incineration of ITO cloud be harmful to the human health in the long-term. Material Life Cycle Assessment method (MLCA) was conducted for comparison landfill and recycling of ITO. MLCA would provide more information for environmental issues and potential environmental impacts of ITO. The study includes two scenarios, the basic scenario is recycling of ITO (10, 20, 30%) and the other scenario is landfill of ITO. In addition, amount of carbon dioxide and energy were calculated.

Although a transparent conductive film (TCF) belongs to essential supporting materials for many device applications such as touch screens, flat panel displays, and sensors, a conventional transparent conductive material, indium-tin oxide (ITO), suffers from considerable drawback because the price of indium has soared since 2001. Despite a recent falloff, a demand of ITO is expected to increase sharply in the future due to the trend of flat panel display technologies toward flexible, paper-like features. There have been recently extensive studies to replace ITO with new materials, in particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) since CNTs possess excellent properties such as flexibility, electrical conductivity, optical transparency, mechanical strength, etc., which are prerequisite to TCFs. This study fabricated TCFs with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) produced by arc discharge. The SWCNTs were dispersed in water with a surfactant of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (NaDDBS) under sonication. Carbon black and fullerene nanoparticles were added to the SWCNT-dispersed solution to enhance contact resistance between CNTs. TCFs were manufactured by a filtration and transfer method. TCFs added with carbon black and fullerene nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis spectroscopy (optical transmittance), and four-point probe measurement (sheet resistance).

It is necessary to evaluate HMI inaspects of human factors in the design stage of MMIS(man machine interface system) and feedback the result of evaluation because operators performance is mainly influenced by the HMI. Therefore, the MMIS design should be reflected the operators psychological, behavioral and physiological characteristics in the interaction with human machine interface(HMI) in order to improve the safety and availability of the MMIS of a nuclear power plant(NPP) by reduction of human error. The development of human factors experimental evaluation techniques and integrated test facility(ITF) for the human factors evaluation become an important research field to resolve hi,am factors issues on the design of an advanced control room(ACR). We developed am ITF, which is aimed to experiment with the design of the ACR and the human machine interaction as it relates to the control of NPP. This paper presents the development of an ITF that consists of three rooms such as main test room(MTR), supporting test room(STR) and experiment control room(ECR). And, the ITF has a various facilities such as a human machine simulator(HMS), experimental measurement systems and data analysis and experiment evaluation supporting system(DAEXESS). The HMS consists of full-scope simulation model of Korean standard NPP and advanced HMI based on visual display nits (VDUS) such as touch color CRT, large scale display panel(LSDP), flat panel display unit and so on.

투명전극 (TCO Transparent Conductive Oxide)은 Solar cell, Touch panel, Sensor 등 많은 분야에 이용되어지고 있다. ZnO 그리고 $SnO_2$는 ITO룰 대체하기 위하여 오래전부터 연구가 되어지고 있다. 하지만 ZnO가 가지고 있는 많은 장점에도 불구하고 ITO를 대체하기 위한 전기적 특성이 충분하지 않다. 따라서 ZnO에 Al를 도핑하는 등 다양한 연구가 진행되어왔다. 본 실험은 우수한 광학특성 및 전기적 (10-5) 특성을 확보하기 위하여 AZO/Ag/AZO 다층박막구조 형성하였다. 또한 염료감응 태양전지에 적용하기 위하여 다층박막구조를 이용한 안정성 테스트를 진행하였다.

각종 전자 제품 및 첨단 산업 장비에 TSP (Touch Screen Panel) 적용이 늘어나고 있다. TSP 표면에 기본적으로 적용되는 지문방지코팅 (Anti Fingerprint coating, AF coating)의 공정 조건 변화가 신뢰성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 전 코팅 공정에 포함되는 전처리, 중간층 공정의 유무에 따라 특성분석을 진행하였으며 이를 비교 분석하였다. 특성 분석은 최초접촉각과 내마모시험 후 접촉각을 측정하여 비교하였으며, 전처리와 중간층 공정이 모두 포함된 표준 지문방지코팅막이 내마모시험 3000 회를 거친 후에도 접촉각을 유지함으로서 가장 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) 촬영을 통하여 각 층의 경계면에 결함이 발견되지 않았다. 이는 전처리 공정과 중간층 공정을 통하여 박막의 접합력과 내구성을 향상시켰다고 사료된다. 하지만 공정의 단순화와 TSP의 대형화 추세에 맞춰 새로운 방법의 지문방지코팅 공정개발이라는 과제도 남겼다.

The basic processing unit for instant ramen noodles includes mixing, rolling, boiling, frying, cooling, and packing processes. For uniform thickness of dough sheets in rolling process, the roll-gap in rolling process needs to keep uniform thickness of flour sheets in spite of different kinds of raw materials. In this paper, we have developed a roll gap adjustment system using a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) with a touch panel and an AC servo-mechanism to make dough sheets with a good gluten starch-network structure and uniform thickness and to contribute to process standardization by transferring from tacit knowledge of skilled workers to explicit knowledge. The developed system can adjust the roll gap in units of 0.01mm and correspond to various product items which have different thickness specification by recalling the presetting values of the desired thickness from database.

For the remarkable enhancement of high-speed rail passenger services, a system which provides various multimedia contents and Internet search functions was designed. The system gets inputs from a passenger and displays various multimedia contents on the touch sensitive LCD panel attached on a passenger seat. This kind of service is new in Korea and not easy to find in other countries, either. In this paper, we presented a design of a system which provides not only one-way broadcasting services but also searching capability of various information interactively. Informations to be provided are train schedule, transfer information, tour information, E-books, movies, music, ets. Successful completion of the system development in the following years is expected to strengthen international competitiveness of Korean railway industry.

디스플레이 산업이 급속도로 발전함에 따라 touch screen 및 panel에 사용되고 있는 ITO(Indium Tin Oxide)박막의 표면저항에 대한 정밀 측정이 요구되고 있으며, 표면저항 측정은 주로 FPP(Four-Point Probe) 원리를 이용한 측정기를 사용하고 있다. 대부분의 면저항 측정기는 single 방식을 적용하고 있으나 이 방식은 가장자리 효과가 크며, 시료의 크기 및 두께와 핀 간격에 대한 보정계수를 적용하여야 하는 단점이 있다. 본 연구는 가장자리 효과가 거의 없고, 보정계수를 적용할 필요가 없는 dual 방식을 적용한 표면저항 측정기를 개발하였다. 개발된 표면저항 측정기는 휴대용으로 누구나 쉽고 정확하게 사용할 수 있으며, 측정 정확도는 지시값의 1.0 % 이하이고, 측정범위는 $4m{\Omega}/sq{\sim}20k{\Omega}/sq$ 이다.

In this paper we propose the boot system using CF memory card and study the system implementation method. The system that is proposed in this paper basically consist of high performance microprocessor, small amount of program memory and CF memory card. And added LCD module and touch panel for the user interface. This system use the CF memory card and DRAM instead of the Flash memory, so it can reduce the system cost. And system performance is increased because of the system program running in the DRAM.
