In this paper, an accurate ray-tracing based visual analysis method of lenticular 3D liquid liquid crystal display (LCDs) and some analysis results are presented. In the developed method, the geometric optics analysis is performed on the single 3D unit pixel of 3D lenticular LCD. It is shown that the display characteristics of 3D lenticular LCD panels of arbitrary size can be evaluated through the 3D unit pixel analysis. The analysis results of a few representative structures of 3D lenticular LCDs are compared.

The most important feature of a-Si TFT is dense localized states such as dangling bonds which exist in tis bandgap. Electrons trapped by localized states dominate the potential distribution in the active a-Si region ,and influence the performance of a-Si TFT. In this paper, we describe the electrical characteristics of a-Si TFT with respect to trap distribution within bandgap, electron mobility and interface states using 2-Dimensional device simulator and compare the result of simulation with measurements. Using the mixed-mode simulator, we can predict the potential variation of pixel which causes residual image problem during the turn-off of a-Si TFT driving circuit. Therefore it is possible to consider trade-off between potential variation of pixel and turn-on current of a-Si TFT for the optimized driving circuit.

TFT-LCD simulator, PDAST(Pixel Design Array Simulation Tool) could simulate the effect of the variation on the pixel characteristics. Since feed-through voltage in TFT-LCD can be a serious problem to pixel voltage characteristics, it should be compensated. It is applicable to various kinds of TFT-LCDs and can be used to calculate the spontaneous part of common electrode voltage accurately. Also, PDAST can estimate pixel voltage according to various inversion methods. It allows high-speed calculation and the information obtained from this study could be utilized to design the larger area and finer image quality panel.

An active-matrix LCD using thin film transistors (TFT) has been widely recognized as having potential for high-quality color flat-panel displays. Pixel-Design Array Simulation Tool (PDAST) was used to profoundly understand the gate signal distortion and pixel charging capability, which are the most critical limiting factors for high-quality TFT-LCDs. Since PDAST can simulate the gate, data and pixel voltages of a certain pixel on TFT array at any time and at any location on an array, the effect of the resistivity of gate line material on the pixel operations can be effectively analyzed. The gate signal delay. pixel charging ratio, level-shift of the pixel voltage were simulated with varying the parameters. The information obtained from this study could be utilized to design the larger area and finer image quality panel.

Near-infrared (NIR) sensing technology using CMOS image sensors is used in many applications, including automobiles, biological inspection, surveillance, and mobile devices. An intuitive way to improve NIR sensitivity is to thicken the light absorption layer (silicon). However, thickened silicon lacks NIR sensitivity and has other disadvantages, such as diminished optical performance (e.g. crosstalk) and difficulty in processing. In this paper, a pixel structure for NIR sensing using a stacked CMOS image sensor is introduced. There are two photodetection layers, a conventional layer and a bottom photodiode, in the stacked CMOS image sensor. The bottom photodiode is used as the NIR absorption layer. Therefore, the suggested pixel structure does not change the thickness of the conventional photodiode. To verify the suggested pixel structure, sensitivity was simulated using an optical simulator. As a result, the sensitivity was improved by a maximum of 130% and 160% at wavelengths of 850 nm and 940 nm, respectively, with a pixel size of 1.2 ㎛. Therefore, the proposed pixel structure is useful for NIR sensing without thickening the silicon.

A dynamic analysis of an amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) pixel is presented using new a-Si TFT and liquid crystal (LC) capacitance models for a Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) simulator. This dynamic analysis will be useful when predicting the performance of LCDs. The a-Si TFT model is developed to accurately estimate a-Si TFT characteristics of a bias-dependent gate to source and gate to drain capacitance. Moreover, the LC capacitance model is developed using a simplified diode circuit model. It is possible to accurately predict TFT-LCD characteristics such as flicker phenomena when implementing the proposed simulation model.

Hyrdogenated amorphous silicon thin film transistors are used as a pixel switching device of TFT-LCDs and very active research works on a-Si:H TFTs are in progress. Further development of the technology based on a-Si:H TFTs depends on the increased understanding of the device physics and the ability to accurately simulate the characteristics of them. A two-dimensional device simulator based on the realistic and flexible physical models can guide the device designs and their optimizations. A non-uniform finite-difference TFT Simulation Program, TFT2DS has been developed to solve the electronic transport equations for a-Si:H TFTs. In TFT2DS, many of the simplifying assumptions are removed. The developed simulator was used to calculate the transfer and output characteristics of a-Si:H TFTs. The measured data were compared with the simulated ones for verifying the validity of TFT2DS. Also the transient behaviors of a-Si:H TFTs were calculated even if the values of the related parameters are not accurately specified.

In recent years, attempts have been made to greatly improve the display quality of active-matrix liquid crystal display devices, and many techniques have been proposed to solve such problems as gate signal delay, feed-through voltage and image sticking. To improve these problems which are caused by the fried-through voltage, we have evaluated new driving methods to reduce the fled-through voltage. Two level gate-pulse was used for the gate driving of the cst-on-common structure pixels. And two-gate line driving methods with the optimized gate signals were applied for the cst-on-gate structure pixels. These gate driving methods were better feed-through characteristics than conventional simple gate pulse. The evaluation of the suggested driving methods were performed by using a TFT-LCD array simulator PDAST which can simulate the gate, data and pixel voltages of a certain pixel at any time and at any location on a TFT array. The effect of the new driving method was effectively analyzed.

We developed a novel frame interpolation method to interpolate a frame between two successive original frames. Using this method, we are able to apply a double-rate driving method instead of an impulse driving method where a black frame is inserted between two successive original frames. The double-rate driving method enables amelioration of the motion blur of LCDs caused by the characteristics of human vision without reducing the luminosity of the whole screen. The image quality of the double-rate driving method was also found to be better than that of an impulse driving method using our motion picture simulator and an actual panel. Our initial model of our frame interpolation method consists of motion estimation with a maximum matching pixel count estimation function, an area segmentation technique, and motion compensation with variable segmentation threshold. Although salt and pepper noise remained in a portion of an object mainly due to inaccuracy of motion estimation, we verified the validity of our method and the possibility of improvement in hold-type motion blurring.
