Abstract:
A backlight assembly includes a light guide plate, a light source assembly disposed adjacent to at least one side of the light guide plate and supplies light to the light guide plate, a container receiving the light guide plate and the light source assembly and including a bottom portion and a first sidewall extended from edges of the bottom portion to form a receiving space, and a coupling member disposed inside the receiving space of the container, and overlapping an upper surface of the light source assembly. The light source assembly is disposed adjacent to the first sidewall, the bottom portion, the coupling member and the light guide plate. The insertion direction of the coupling member is substantially perpendicular to the bottom portion of the container.
Abstract:
A candle that can variously create a color and a scent that a user desires is provided.The candle includes: a container in which a upper portion is an opening portion; a candle body that is housed within the container and in which a wick is provided; and a decorative combustion material that is filled within the container while enclosing a periphery of the candle body to perform a function of a decoration portion when the candle body does not burn and that exhibits a visual effect and diffuses a scent while burning when the candle body burns.
Abstract:
A backlight unit includes a mold frame, a metal core printed circuit board (“MCPCB”) on which at least one light emitting diode (“LED”) is mounted, a reflector, a light guide plate, and an optical sheet. The mold frame includes an MCPCB fixing portion, the MCPCB is directly and removably disposed on the MCPCB fixing portion, and a lower surface of the MCPCB is exposed to the outside of the mold frame. On the MCPCB, a reflector, a light guide plate, and an optical sheet are placed in the order named. The light guide plate has a light entering surface facing the LED.
Abstract:
An endoscope, an endoscope system having an endoscope, and an endoscope control method are disclosed. The endoscope includes: a main body and a buoyancy control device. The main body may be configured in the form of a capsule and include an image capturing unit for capturing image information. The buoyancy control device may control buoyancy by changing the volume of the main body. Images of various types of internal organs can be precisely captured.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display according to the present invention includes a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other, a pixel electrode disposed on the first substrate and including a first sub-pixel electrode and a second sub-pixel electrode spaced apart from the first sub-pixel electrode by a gap, a common electrode disposed on the second substrate, a shielding member disposed on the first substrate or the second substrate and overlapping the gap between the first sub-pixel electrode and the second sub-pixel electrode, an alignment layer disposed on at least one of the pixel electrode and the common electrode, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.
Abstract:
A lamp socket that can reduce the thickness of both sides of a display device includes a socket main body having a contact hole formed therein, and a power-applying member coupled to the socket main body through the contact hole, and provided with a lamp connection terminal, an inverter connection terminal, and a terminal connection part connected with the lamp connection terminal in a bent form so as to connect the lamp connection terminal with the inverter connection terminal. Accordingly, the thickness of both sides of the display device including the lamp sockets is reduced, and the compatibility of the product is extended.
Abstract:
In a display panel including a plurality of pixels, each pixel includes a first thin film transistor, first and second liquid crystal capacitors, a coupling capacitor, and a discharge circuit. The first liquid crystal capacitor is connected to a data line through the first thin film transistor. The second liquid crystal capacitor is connected in parallel to the first liquid crystal capacitor through the coupling capacitor. The discharge circuit is connected between the coupling capacitor and the second liquid crystal capacitor, and it discharges charges stored in the second liquid crystal capacitor.
Abstract:
A backlight assembly includes; a plurality of light guide blocks disposed substantially in parallel with each other along a first direction, each of the plurality of light guide blocks including; a light guide plate (“LGP”) having a wedge-shape decreasing in thickness from a first side thereof to a second side thereof, and a light source unit disposed facing a side surface of the LGP, and a light source driving unit which individually controls the light source units of the plurality of light guide blocks to emit light via a local dimming method.
Abstract:
Provided are a backlight assembly and a display device having the same. The backlight assembly includes; a light guide plate (“LGP”) having a light incident portion upon which light is incident and an opposite portion which is disposed substantially opposite to the light incident portion, a lower housing which accommodates the LGP therein, and at least one LGP fixing tape which fixes the LGP into the lower housing, wherein the at least one LGP fixing tape is interposed between the lower housing and lower surfaces of two opposite ends of the light incident portion of the LGP.
Abstract:
A method of detecting touch positions includes; providing an external power voltage which drives a touch panel, sequentially turning on a plurality of lower driving elements connected to the touch panel, Turning on a plurality of upper driving elements connected to the touch panel to readout at least one multi-touched position corresponding to an x-coordinate, while each of lower driving elements is turned on, receiving readout position information corresponding to an x-coordinate, turning on at least one of the upper driving elements connected to the touch panel, turning on the plurality of lower driving elements connected to the touch panel to readout the at least one multi-touched position corresponding to a y-coordinate, while each of upper driving elements is turned on, receiving readout position information corresponding to the y-coordinate, turning on a sensing element, and turning off the sensing element.
