In this paper, we propose a new approach to reduce the audible noise generated by TFT-LCD module in mobile applications. We also analyzed impact factors which effect on the audible noise. It is expected that this noise source comes from various impact factors such as vibration of flexible printed-circuit board (FPCB) and LCD panel, and static electricity charged in window and back-light unit. Windowless type and window type models are evaluated to analyze noise level due to the static electricity charged in window. To obtain reliable and reproducible data, we constructed controllable test jig and measurement set-up.

The authors investigated an overhead shuttle (OHS) system for automatic transferring the liquid crystal display (LCD) panels. The constructed tracks of OHS system include the linear and curve regions and have been installed on the ceiling to transfer the cassette of LCD glass along the closed-loop and open-loop tracks. In this study, the OHS system was implemented by a proposed linear motor to solve encoder installation and the system cost problems of the long distance transfer system. In addition, we utilized a new algorithm of the position detection and a new control algorithm for driving linear motor. The newly developed control algorithm was demonstrated from both a computer simulation and an experimentation, indicating that the highly reliable and speedy transfer system can enhance the LCD panel productivity of commercial OHS system.

The new process for hybrid silicon thin film transistor (TFT) using DPSS laser has been developed for realizing both low-temperature poly-Si (LTPS) TFT and a-Si:H TFT on the same substrate as a backplane of active matrix liquid crystal display. LTPS TFTs are integrated on the peripheral area of the panel for gate driver integrated circuit and a-Si:H TFTs are used as a switching device for pixel in the active area. The technology has been developed based on the current a-Si:H TFT fabrication process without introducing ion-doping and activation process and the field effect mobility of $4{\sim}5\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ and $0.5\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ for each TFT was obtained. The low power consumption, high reliability, and low photosensitivity are realized compared with amorphous silicon gate driver circuit and are demonstrated on the 14.1 inch WXGA+ ($1440{\times}900$) LCD Panel.

In order to satisfy with the clear visibility without any difficulties such as blurring and tailing, the high refreshing rate technology and fast response time of LC itself were applied to TFT-LCDs. In proportion to the decrease of holding time of 1 frame, the fast transition of LC behavior was necessary to both maintain the luminance and minimize the tailing appearance. The introduction of a new LC mixture for faster response times was realized by the good combination of newly introduced dielectrically neutral LC material so called 'Super Low Viscosity' (SLV) and highly polar $CF_2O-linkage$ LC material. This resulted in about a 20% reduction in the ${\gamma}_1$ of the new LC mixture compared to the references. In accordance with a new LC mixture with low ${\gamma}_1$, fast response time of 5ms has been made for S-IPS LCD TV application. Consequently, by applying the high frame frequency of 120Hz driving alongside the 5ms response time characteristics, the MPRT value was reduced by half.

요즘, LCD TV 가 등장하면서 LCD 백라이트로써 LCD TV 에 적용하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 휘도특성의 개선이 요구되고 있다. TV 대응 LCD Panel 은 Monitor 대응 제품에 비해서 일반적으로 해상도가 낮으므로, 투과율면에서 장점은 있으나, 현재의 백라이트 구조로는 만족할만한 성능을 낼 수 없는 상황이다. 그러므로 고휘도 백라이트를 위해서 EEFL(External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp) 혹은 CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) 의 복수 사용을 전제로 한 직하방식에 대한 개발 검토가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 직하방식에 의한 고휘도화는 램프수는 증가되지만 프리즘시트를 사용하지 않아서 가격 경쟁력이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 EEFL 16등을 이용하여 17인치 직하형 백라이트를 제작하여 기구적, 전기적, 광학적 특성을 분석하였으며, 그 결과 11,700 nit 의 휘도를 달성하여 TV 대응 수준을 확보하였다.

최근들어, TFT LCD 업체들의 제품 대형화에 따라서 서서히 제품군이 중, 대형 TV를 중심으로 넓은 광시야각 기술 (FFS, IPS, VA)이 적용되고 있으며 고휘도, 고속응답, 고색순도 등 성능향상을 지속하는 가운데 LCD 백라이트로써 LCD TV에 적용하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 현재 기존 제품군보다 높은 휘도 특성의 개선이 요구되고 있다. TV 대응 LCD Panel 은 Monitor 대응 제품에 비해서 일반적으로 해상도가 낮으므로, 투과율면에서 장점은 있으나, 현재의 백라이트 구조로는 만족할만한 성능을 낼 수 없는 상황이다. 그러므로 고휘도 백라이트를 위해서 직하방식 백라이트에 대한 개발 검토가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 백라이트에서 6500nits를 목표로 직하형 백라이트의 시뮬레이션을 실시하였으며, 램프간 거리, 리플렉터와 램프간 거리, 램프와 확산판간 거리등에 해한 최적화를 통하여 총두께에 따른 특성분석을 실시하였다. 특히, 램프의 수량에 따른 휘도 시뮬레이션을 통해서 백라이트별 기구치수를 결정할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서의 목적인 6500nits의 휘도는 프리즘시트의 적용을 통하여 달성하였다.

Using a polarimetry based on the rotating analyzer ellipsometer, a technique of measuring off-alignment angle between the slow-axis of the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) polarizing plate and the transmission axis of the compensating plate attached to the polarizing plate is proposed. It is anticipated that this technique will reduce the optic axis off-alignment error coming from the process of attaching the compensating plate to the LCD polarizing plate markedly, and therefore will help maintain the quality of LCD display image uniformly.

In this paper, we proposed mobile LCD module test device on embedded based, when operating the existing LCD, divide flicker clearly in full frame, and configuration so as to support between other CPU interface, MDDI, SPI, 24Bit RGB interface, etc. that is based on a high-speed CPU. In addition, when demand to test about each pixel of LCD, it is possible to change IP design of H/W, FPGA, but proposed system is application possible without other design changing. Proposed system is made smaller and equipped with battery, so secure with mobility for effective test the LCD/OLED module and it is able to test the pattern by the client program, for example exiting picture, mpeg, simple pattern test and test per pixel, scale, rotation, Odd/Even pixel per video, etc. From now on, if integrating with independent test system and it is configured that is able to mutual communication and test, it is expected to reduce consumption of human resources and improve productivity for LCD module test.

Generally, the TFT-LCD image signal have nonuniform brightness and are composed of largely varying background signal, noise signal and abruptly changing Mura signal within Mura region. In this paper, Mura region enhancing algorithms using the proposed modified-MTF, which describes how human-visual-system's sensitivity varies in frequency domain, is proposed. The validity of the proposed algorithm was demonstrated ideal 1-dimensional signal and also then it was also tested TFT-LCD image. By the experimental results, the proposed algorithm is very effective in TFT-LCD image Mura enhancement.

High level quality control is required for mobile TFT-LCD modules which are frequently used for fine observation. However, quantitative quality control is difficult. Defect inspection using naked eyes makes irregular inspection results. This paper developed desk type defect inspection equipment for mobile TFT-LCD modules using the same inspection criterion with that of naked eyes. From experiments using this equipments, possibilities of standardization in defect inspection equipment for mobile TFT-LCD modules are presented.
