Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing a color filter for an in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display a black matrix for light-shielding and color filter layers of red, green and blue are formed on a glass substrate and an overcoat layer is coated thereon for minimizing a stepped difference of an overlapped part between the black matrix and the color filter layers, the overcoat layer being formed of a non-exposing type material.
Abstract:
Integrated circuit memory devices contain an array of active memory cells and at least one column of dummy memory cells having missing electrical connections to either a dummy bit line and/or respective storage electrodes. The dummy memory cells are provided with missing electrical connections so that formation of stray electrical "shorts" between storage electrodes of dummy and active memory cells during fabrication do not cause memory failures when the memory devices are installed. In particular, integrated circuit memory devices are provided which comprise an array of active DRAM memory cells and a column of dummy DRAM memory cells. The active DRAM memory cells each contain electrical connections to a respective active bit line and a respective storage electrode, but the dummy DRAM memory cells are each devoid of an electrical connection to a dummy bit line and/or a respective storage electrode. Accordingly, the formation of a stringer (e.g., electrical short) between a storage capacitor of an active memory cell and a dummy memory cell does not result in a memory failure even if the word line coupled to the dummy memory cell is activated and the dummy bit line is biased at a potential which is different from the potential of the storage capacitor of the active memory cell.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for improving the stability of the transmitting frequency by using a costas loop section in a communication system of a half duplex transmitting method is disclosed, in which a receiving terminal is provided with an A/D converter, a D/A converter, a switching circuit, and a central processing unit, and thus, during a data transmission, a reference frequency is extracted through the costas loop section without installing a separate reference frequency extracting facility, thereby improving the stability of the transmitting frequency. In the conventional technique, in forming a reference frequency for a transmitting frequency, additional devices such as a pilot signal detector, a transmission reference frequency oscillator and the like are required, with the result that the cost for establishing the system becomes high, and that too much man hours and too many additional components are required. However, in the present invention, low cost facilities such as A/D and D/A converters, a switch circuit and a central processing unit are installed to the costas loop of the currently used receiving terminal, so that a transmitting reference frequency can be extracted from the data carrying carrier waves through the costas loop without using the high cost conventional reference frequency extracting facility, thereby improving the stability of the transmitting frequency.
