Development of IGZO TFTs and Their Applications to Next-Generation Flat-Panel Displays

Hsing-Hung Hsieh,Hsiung-Hsing Lu,Hung-Che Ting,Ching-Sang Chuang,Chia-Yu Chen,Yusin Lin 한국정보디스플레이학회 2010 Journal of information display Vol.11 No.4

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have shown superior characteristics and are expected to dominate the nextgeneration flat-panel displays. Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays, however, have stringent demands on the performance of the backplane. In this paper, the development of thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) on both Gen 1 and 6 glasses, and their decent characteristics, which meet the AMOLED requirements,are shown. Further, several display prototypes (e.g., 2.4” AMOLED, 2.4” transparent AMOLED, and 32” AMLCD) using IGZO TFTs are demonstrated to confirm that they can indeed be strong candidates for the next-generation TFT technology not only of AMOLED but also of AMLCD (active-matrix liquid crystal display)

國家自然資源管理體制下的再共有化 -臺灣野生動物共管制度的興起與最新趨勢-

Hsing-Sheng Tai(따이싱셩),I-Chi Lu(루이츠) 역사문화학회 2019 지방사와 지방문화 Vol.22 No.1

본 논문은 타이완의 자연자원에 대한 “리커머닝” 과정을 특히 토착민의 맥락과 연관하여 분석하고자 한다. 가장 대표적이고도 중요한 공유재의 일종인 야생동물은 지금까지 타이완 토착 사회의 일상과 문화적 관습에 있어 핵심적인 것이었다. 자신들의 자연자원 권리를 되찾기 위한 토착민투쟁의 중요성을 강조하기 위하여, 나는 토착(민)-국가 야생동물 공동 운용체제의 부상과 최근의 경향을 연구하였다. 토착적 커먼즈 체제는 전통적 야생동물 사냥 및 운영 기관들을 포함하여 한때 타이완의 토지 및 자연자원을 장악하였다. 야생동물의 경우, 근대 국가 체제의 침략은 상당 부분 토착적 기관에 영향을 미쳤다. 그러나 국가가 토착적 야생동물의 활용과 운영권을 완전히 차지한 것은 1980년대에 이르러서였다. 1989년, 의회에서 야생동물 보호법이 통과되었다. 이는 야생동물 사냥을 완전히 금지하고, 사실상 토착적 기관을 무시하는 것이었으며, 야생동물을 국가 중심적, 지휘 및 통제 방식의 천연자원 운용 체제 하에 실질적으로 포함시켰다. 그러한 엄격한 야생동물 보호법은 토착 야생동물 사냥 관습과 제도에 심각하고도 부정적인 영향을 끼친다. 이는 그간 토착민 운동의 핵심적인 주장 중 하나이기도 하다. 야생동물 사냥과 활용에 관한 토착민들의 법적 권리 요구는 지속적으로 정부 당국과 주류 사회의 저항에 부딪힌다. 다른 한편, 토착 운동 및 환경단체의 몇몇 활동가들과 학자들은 일종의 합의를 이루어 냈고, 최근 몇 년간 야생동물 공동 운용 체제를 이룩하기 위한 연합을 형성했다. 몇몇 이들에게 최종 목표는 독립적이며 자치적인 토착 야생생물 관리체제일 것이다. 2016년, 새로운 가능성이 열렸다. 타이완의 새 대통령 차이잉원(蔡英文)이 토착민들의 전통적 정의를 추구하기 위한 새로운 토착 정책을 공표한 것이다. 해당 정책은 야생동물 보전을 담당하는 국가 기관인 산림부의 기존 경로를 상당히 바꾸어 놓았다. 산림부는 적극적으로 8개의 선구적 프로젝트에 착수하였는데, 이는 학계의 참여 하에 토착(민)-국가 야생동물 공동관리체제를 시행하기 위한 점진적인 과정이었다. 계획적인 리커머닝 과정을 서술하기 위해, 필자들은 트루쿠(Truku)족의 사례를 연구하였다. 이 사례 연구는 외부 기관의 지원과 저항, 커뮤니티 내부의 역학, 자원 운용 능력, 학계와 비정부 기관의 역할 등을 포함한 핵심적인 도전 과제와 현재의 성과들을 제시한다. 이러한 새로운 경험들은 타이완 커먼즈 거버넌스를 향한 체제 전환의 가능성에 관해 비판적 통찰을 제시할 수 있을 것이다. This paper aims to study the “re-commoning” process of natural resources in Taiwan, in particular related to indigenous context. As one of the most typical and important types of common-pool resources, wildlife has been, and still is the core of Taiwan indigenous society’s daily life and culture practice. To highlight the significance of indigenous struggle toward reclaiming their natural resources rights, we study the latest trends of the rise of indigenousstate wildlife co-management regime in Taiwan. Indigenous commons regime, including the traditional wildlife hunting and management institutions, once dominated the land and natural resources in Taiwan. In the case of wildlife, the invasion of modern state regime did to certain extent exerted influences on indigenous institutions. The state, however, has never absolutely taken over the indigenous wildlife use and management rights until 1980s. In 1989, the Wildlife Conservation Act was passed by the parliament, which absolutely prohibits wildlife hunting, ignores the de facto indigenous institutions, and virtually includes wildlife as part of the state-centric, command-and-control natural resources management regime. The strict Wildlife Conservation Act causes serious, negative impacts on indigenous wildlife hunting practice, as well as its institutions. This has also been one of the focuses of indigenous movement’s claims. The indigenous claim of legal rights of wildlife hunting and management is steadily withstand by both the state authority and the mainstream society. Meanwhile some activists in the indigenous movement, environmental organizations, and academics achieved some sort of consensus, and formed a coalition to pursue a co-management wildlife regime in recent years. For some people, the goal might be an autonomous, self-governed indigenous wildlife management regime. In 2016, a new window of opportunity arose. The new Taiwan President, Tsai In-Wen, declared a new indigenous policy toward pursuing transitional justice for indigenous rights. The policy significantly changed the traditional route of the state authority, the Forestry Bureau, which is in charge of the wildlife conservation. The Forestry Bureau actively initiated eight pioneer projects, trying to build up step by step an indigenous-state wildlife co-management regime, in which the academics are also involved. To illustrate the deliberate re-commoning process, we study a case of Truku Tribe. The case study unpacks some of the key challenges and current achievements, including the support and/or resistance of external institutions, intra-community dynamics, management capacity, and the roles of academics and non-governmental organizations. These novel experiences may offer critical insights for a possible paradigm shift of commons governance in Taiwan.

A value-added analysis of trade in Taiwan and Korea’s ICT industries

Hsing-Chun Lin,Shih-Hsun Hsu,Ruey-Wan Liou,Ching-Cheng Chang 한국무역학회 2016 Journal of Korea trade Vol.20 No.1

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to extricate value-added exports in information and communications technology (ICT) industry earned by Taiwan and Korea. Additionally, the authors decompose Taiwan and Korea’s gross exports into various meaningful components. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use the inter-country input-output (ICIO) table which endows with cost structures of industries as well as trade information, facilitating in keeping track of the flow of products and value-added. The ICIO table used in this paper comes from the World Input-Output Database. The authors also use the way Wang et al. (2013) decomposed the intermediate goods exports into various components to provide further insights. Findings – The empirical results indicate that Taiwan and Korea’s ICT export to the world shrink by 47.8 and 40.9 percent when the trades are measured in value-added terms. Taiwan and Korea’s ICT export will also decrease by 75.1 and 57.8 percent. From the viewpoint of value added in trade, the share of value added embodied in Taiwan and Korea’s gross ICT exports continued to decrease and reached 24.9 and 42.2 percent in 2011, while the components of pure double counted terms kept growing in recent years. Originality/value – With global value chains flourishing in recent years, conventional trade statistics not only fails to highlight the vertical specialization among different countries, but also distorts the measurement of a country’s competitiveness. This paper extricates value-added exports in ICT industry earned by Taiwan and Korea and bring into focus the importance of trade in value added.

An Improved Steganography Method Based on Least-Significant-Bit Substitution and Pixel-Value Differencing

( Hsing-han Liu ),( Pin-chang Su ),( Meng-hua Hsu ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2020 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.14 No.11

This research was based on the study conducted by Khodaei et al. (2012), namely, the least-significant-bit (LSB) substitution combined with the pixel-value differencing (PVD) steganography, and presented an improved irreversible image steganography method. Such a method was developed through integrating the improved LSB substitution with the modulus function-based PVD steganography to increase steganographic capacity of the original technique while maintaining the quality of images. It partitions the cover image into non-overlapped blocks, each of which consists of 3 consecutive pixels. The 2nd pixel represents the base, in which secret data are embedded by using the 3-bit LSB substitution. Each of the other 2 pixels is paired with the base respectively for embedding secret data by using an improved modulus PVD method. The experiment results showed that the method can greatly increase steganographic capacity in comparison with other PVD-based techniques (by a maximum amount of 135%), on the premise that the quality of images is maintained. Last but not least, 2 security analyses, the pixel difference histogram (PDH) and the content-selective residual (CSR) steganalysis were performed. The results indicated that the method is capable of preventing the detection of the 2 common techniques.

Knowledge-based learning for modeling concrete compressive strength using genetic programming

Hsing-Chih Tsai,Min-Chih Liao 사단법인 한국계산역학회 2019 Computers and Concrete, An International Journal Vol.23 No.4

The potential of using genetic programming to predict engineering data has caught the attention of researchers in recent years. The present paper utilized weighted genetic programming (WGP), a derivative model of genetic programming (GP), to model the compressive strength of concrete. The calculation results of Abrams’ laws, which are used as the design codes for calculating the compressive strength of concrete, were treated as the inputs for the genetic programming model. Therefore, knowledge of the Abrams’ laws, which is not a factor of influence on common data-based learning approaches, was considered to be a potential factor affecting genetic programming models. Significant outcomes of this work include: 1) the employed design codes positively affected the prediction accuracy of modeling the compressive strength of concrete; 2) a new equation was suggested to replace the design code for predicting concrete strength; and 3) common data-based learning approaches were evolved into knowledge-based learning approaches using historical data and design codes.

Modeling Torsional Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams using Genetic Programming Polynomials with Building Codes

Hsing-Chih Tsai,Min-Chih Liao 대한토목학회 2019 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.23 No.8

The potential of using genetic programming to predict engineering data has caught the attention of researchers in recent years. This paper utilizes a derivative of genetic programming to model the torsional strength of reinforced concrete beams using polynomiallike equations. Furthermore, the calculation results of current building codes are introduced into the learning of input-output functional mapping as potential inputs to improve prediction accuracy and to suggest improvements to these building codes. The results show that introducing European building codes significantly improves the prediction accuracy to a level that is significantly above that achievable using the initial parameters alone. In addition, the results highlight that improvements of particular building codes are relevant to different parameter combinations. Moreover, suggestions for future modifications of European building codes were brought out.
