Abstract:
An image conversion device and method of interpolating an input image by utilizing a motion estimation that is adaptive according to characteristics of the input image. The image conversion device includes a detection block to receive three consecutive input fields including a first field, a second field as a target interpolation field, and a third field, to determine which of the first field and the third field has a smaller difference value of field data with respect to the second field that is an interpolation target field, and to determine whether one of the first and third fields have a motion change that is greater than a predetermined threshold with respect to the second field, and an interpolation block to interpolate the second field by determining a selected motion estimation value between the one of the first and third fields having the smaller difference value and the second field, determining a third motion estimation value between the first field and the third field, applying different weights to the selected and third motion estimation values depending on whether one of the first and second fields have the motion change that is greater than the predetermined threshold, and mixing the weighted selected and third motion estimation values.
Abstract:
A display device has light sources located in a receptacle, where a lower interior walls part of the receptacle is formed of an electrically insulating material. The device includes a vertically extending grounding electrode extending to and physically affixed at one end to the interior walls part of the receptacle. This allows the light sources to be easily grounded by means of the grounding electrode.

Abstract:
Provided is a method of forming patterns for a semiconductor device in which fine patterns and large-width patterns are formed simultaneously and adjacent to each other. In the method, a first layer is formed on a substrate so as to cover a first region and a second region which are included in the substrate. Both a blocking pattern covering a portion of the first layer in the first region and a low-density large-width pattern covering a portion of the first layer in the second region are simultaneously formed. A plurality of sacrificial mask patterns are formed on the first layer and the blocking pattern in the first region. A plurality of spacers covering exposed sidewalls of the plurality of sacrificial mask patterns are formed. The plurality of sacrificial mask patterns are removed. The first layer in the first and second regions are simultaneously etched by using the plurality of spacers and the blocking pattern as etch masks in the first region and using the low-density large-width pattern as an etch mask in the second region.
