About the Lab
Professor Hyunskim Kim's research lab specializes in advanced electronic systems and integrated circuit design, with a strong focus on high-performance display technologies, radiation detection, and precision sensing. The lab develops innovative analog and mixed-signal ICs for active-matrix displays—such as LCDs and OLEDs—addressing challenges like luminance non-uniformity, bezel constraints, and inter-channel mismatch through novel circuit techniques. It also explores cutting-edge applications in medical imaging and nuclear detection, including direct photon-counting X-ray detectors and high-sensitivity charge preamplifiers. Additionally, the lab contributes to fusion energy research through the development of control systems for plasma stability in tokamak devices.

15Abstract The current study proposes and tests a theoretical model of the relationship among service outcome quality, interaction quality, peer-to-peer quality, and customer experience quality, and the impact of customer experience quality on customer loyalty. The findings indicate that service outcome quality, interaction quality, and peer-to-peer quality perceptions significantly influence customer experience quality, which, in turn, influences customer loyalty. Furthermore, the findings show t
This paper presents a 10-bit column driver IC for active-matrix LCDs, with a proposed iterative charge-sharing based (ICSB) capacitor-string that interpolates two output voltages from a resistor-string DAC. Iterative mode change between a capacitive voltage division mode and a charge sharing mode in the ICSB capacitor-string interpolation suppresses the effect of mismatches between capacitors and that of parasitic capacitances; thus, a highly linear capacitor sub-DAC is realized. In addition, th
Abstract The fourth KSTAR campaign in 2011 concentrated on active edge-localized mode (ELM) control by various methods such as non-axisymmetric magnetic perturbations, supersonic molecular beam injection (SMBI), vertical jogs of the plasma column and edge electron heating. The segmented in-vessel control coil (IVCC) system is capable of applying n ⩽ 2 perturbed field with different phasing among top, middle and bottom coils. Application of an n = 1 perturbed field showed a desirable ELM suppress
This paper presents a source-driver IC that actively compensates for inter-channel charging rate mismatch in an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display with ultra-thin bezel panel. Due to the limitation of the physical design, the resistances of the driver-to-column routing lines in the panel bezel differ across channels. To solve the luminance non-uniformity caused by resistance mismatch, a digitally controlled gm-degeneration technique embedded in the output buffer amplifier
This paper presents a direct photon-counting X-ray image detector with a <formula formulatype="inline" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><tex Notation="TeX">${\rm HgI}_{2}$</tex> </formula> photoconductor for high-quality medical imaging applications. The proposed sampling-based charge preamplifier with asynchronous self-reset enables a pixel to detect single X-ray photon energy with higher sensitivity and faster processing rate. The use of
A mutual-capacitive multi-touch sensing technique is presented, especially for ultra-thin active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panels. The proposed scheme recognizes touch positions by detecting LC oscillation frequency shift. The signal feedback to the common cathode electrode of OLEDs cancels out the effects of parasitic coupling capacitances. In addition, the ground-floating-based scanning method enables a multi-touch function. The proposed touch sensor was implemented in
To achieve high image quality in mobile active-matrix LCDs, higher DAC resolution and good channel-to-channel uniformity are required in column-driver ICs. In conventional column-driver ICs, the resistor-DAC (R-DAC) architecture has been generally used due to its uniform characteristic, because each R-DAC in driver channels shares a common resistor string for gamma reference-voltage generation. Furthermore, nonlinear gamma correction can be easily implemented using a nonlinear resistor-string th
In this paper, a daily activity monitoring system for Internet of Things (IoT)- assisted living in home area networks is proposed in order to provide care for elderly people who live alone. The proposed system consists of two main parts: an IoT-assisted living space with contactless activity sensors, a help trigger, and an emergency gateway and a daily activity monitoring server with a range of components including data collection, event and user management, activity analysis and reporting, and
The IMM based tracking algorithm requires the many number of sub-models in order to have a good performance with respect to the various target maneuvering. But it is not reasonable to use the algorithm, which has more computing resource, in real system application. Therefore, we need the algorithm which has less computing resource as well as good performance. To solve this problem, we propose a fuzzy interacting multiple model algorithm (FIMMA) for a maneuvering target tracking, which use the mi
최근에는, 극한 분야에서 해양로봇의 필요성이 제기되고 있으나, 그 기반이 매우 부족한 실정이다. 다행히 로봇경진대회가 활성화되고 로봇교육에 대한 수요가 증가하는 추세이므로, 해양로봇키트의 개발/보급을 통하여 해양로봇 연구개발/산업화 기반을 마련하고 전문인력을 양성하는 것이 바람직하다. 그런데, 기존에는 수중이동 및 표적 탐지/회피가 가능한 해양로봇경진대회용 수중형 자율운항 해양로봇키트가 없었다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 수중이동성, 수중방수성 및 무게조절성이 우수한 보급형 해양로봇키트가 개발되었다. 개발된 키트의 성능 검증을 위해서 Surge, Pitch, Yaw, 장애물회피 등의 시험 평가가 수행되었다. 시험평가 결과는 개발된 키트의 실제 적용 가능성을 보여준다. Recently, although the need of marine robots being raised in extreme areas, the basis is very deficient. Fortunately, as t
