The photo leakage currents of a conventional hydrogenated amorphous silicon(a-Si:H) thin film transistor(TFT) were investigated and analyzed in the case of illumination from various lightsources such as halogen lamp, cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL) backlight, and white light emitting diode(LED) backlight The photo leakage characteristics showed the apparent differences in the leakage level and in the $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratio in spite of the similar luminances of light sources. This leakage level is expected to be related to the wavelength of the lowest intensity peak from spectral analysis of light sources.

Nonideality of LED lens and diffuser as well as crosstalk between backlights should be compensated because they have large effects on image qualities. The computation complexities of conventional compensations are greatly increased as resolution becomes higher. The block based compensation is proposed to alleviate the computation complexity considering backlight profiles and image pixel characteristics.

To improve the optical performance of the backlight unit with light guide plate(LGP), we investigated the effects of LGP patterns on the brightness and viewing angles properties of the backlight unit. We designed several patterns of LGP and calculated their optical properties by the optical simulation. The results reveal that the highest brightness and wide viewing angle was achieved with the extended-closed-polygon diffusion pattern and upper triangle prism pattern of the LGP.

Frequency filters with various filtering wavelengths were used in the photoelectric characterization of hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film transistor (a-Si:H TFT) and the experimental results were described and analyzed in terms of the photon energy spectral characteristics calculated from the integration of the photon energy and the spectral intensity of transmitted backlight through the filters at each wavelength. From the comparison of the photocurrents and the calculated photon energy spectrums for the filtered ranges of wavelength, it was possible to conclude that the photocurrents are closely related to the photon energy spectrums of the backlight.

In this paper, an X-Y channel dimming light emitting diode (LED) backlight with temperature compensation for in LCD TVs is proposed. It shows local dimming effects such as reduced power consumption and high dynamic contrast ratio even with much less number of LED drivers than that of the conventional two-dimensional local dimming method. Moreover, the image distortion caused by temperature variation of LED block can be effectively compensated. The validity of the proposed dimming method is verified by simulation and experimental results based on a RGB-LED backlight of a 32-inch LCD TV.

A two-dimensional fluid simulation code has been developed in order to investigate discharge phenomena and to improve plasma luminous efficiency in a Hg flat fluorescent lamp (FFL) for an LCD backlight unit. In this study, the method of a two-dimensional fluid simulation for FFL is explained and the simulation results of Hg-Ar-Ne mixture gas are presented for the enhancement of the luminance efficiency. The effects of various parameters, such as driving voltage, frequency, and gas mixture ratio, are investigated. The luminance efficiency increased with increasing fraction of mercury but the increasing fraction of argon did not affect the efficiency much.

This paper proposes a novel RGB-LED (light emitting diode) backlight system, for 32" LCD TVs, accompanied by a new X-Y Channel driving method in which its row and column switches control the individual division screen. This proposed driving method is able to produce division driving effects such as image improvement and reduced power consumption. Not only that, the number of driver needed in this method, that is 3 power supplies with 3*(m+n) switches, is much fewer than that of cluster driving method, that is 3*(m*n) driver.

LGP(Light-Guide Panel) of LCD backlight is one of the major componets which affect on the product quality of LCD. The optical relation between brightness and pattern has been investigated for LGP with the uniform distribution of brightness. When given the brightness distribution as target, the solutions of pattern distribution is not unique. Each solution of pattern designs shows the different brightness intensity even though they have the same brightness distribution with target's one. The manufacturing condition of pattern has an influence on the possibly-maximum-brightness intensity among the solutions of pattern design. The present study has examined the effects of LGP thickness, pattern shape errors, and reflection film on the optical characteristics of LGP.

Conventional backlight for liquid crystal display (LCD) uses mercury which leads to environmental pollution. In this study, characteristics of AC coplanar type mercury-free plasma flat lamp have been studied. Pollution-free Xe-He is adopted as a discharge gas system. Since the Xe gas has a lower efficiency in generating vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) than mercury, the improvement of luminance and luminous efficiency in the Xe gas system is very important. The electrode, dielectric, and phosphor layers constituting lamp are formed on the bottom glass by the screen printing method. The effects of pulse shape, on-time, and pulse frequency on the luminance and luminous efficiency have been examined. For Xe(5%)-He gas, the lamp exhibits higher efficiency with sharper pulse shape, higher peak voltage, and shorter pulse on-time (up to 2 $\mu\textrm{s}$). Higher efficiency and lower consumption of power were obtained at 30 kHz than at 60 kHz. The collision of ion to bottom electrodes is a dominant factor to raise the lamp temperature. Therefore the high voltage and low current discharge system is necessary for reduction of the lamp temperature as well as for enhancement of the luminous efficiency.
