    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a controller, a plurality of substrates, and a plurality of stacked memories that are spaced apart and sequence on each of the substrates. Each of the stacked memories includes an interface chip that is connected to the respective substrate and a plurality of memory chips that are stacked on the interface chip. The controller is configured to control the stacked memories. The interface chips are configured to forward a command signal from the controller through each interface chip in the sequence of stacked memories that is intervening between the controller and a selected stacked memory to which the command signal is directed. The interface chips may forward the command signal from one end of the sequence of the stacked memories on one of the substrates to the selected stacked memory, and forward a response signal from the selected stacked memory through the remaining stacked memories in the sequence on the substrate back to the controller or through the same sequence of stacked memories that was taken by the command signal.

    Abstract: A display apparatus having a display. The display apparatus includes a video signal processor having a processor to process an input video signal and a picture quality improving part to improve picture quality of the processed video signal. The video signal processor processes the video signal through a path that includes a signal processing path to selectively bypass the picture quality improving part. The display apparatus further includes a selection input part through which the user selects a bypass mode corresponding to the signal processing path. Finally, the display apparatus has a controller controlling the video signal processor to output the video signal processed through the processor to the display after bypassing the picture quality improving part when the user selects the bypass mode through the selection input part. Thus, the picture quality improving function may be omitted to thereby reduce signal processing time.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device utilizing a data coding method in an initial operation. The device includes a plurality of counters that count the number of data bits and flag information data bits. A data coding unit selectively applies a first and second operation mode. The first operation mode codes the data of the first through nth data groups such that the counted number of data bits in a first logic state is minimized. The second operation mode codes the data of the first through nth data groups such that the difference between the number of data bits and flag information bits in the first and second logic state are minimized. This prevents the initial logic state of data from being changed due to a voltage drop in the initial operation of the device.
