Abstract:
A scan driver drives a display device having a plurality of gate lines transferring scan signals, and a plurality of source lines transferring data signals. The scan driver includes a shift register and a multiple signal applying unit. The shift register includes a plurality of cascade-connected stages, each stage having an output terminal electrically connected to a respective one of the plurality of gate lines. The multiple signal applying unit applies a sub scan signal and a main scan signal. The sub scan signal and the main scan signal sequentially activate each of the plurality of gate lines. Therefore, the scan lines receive the scan signal twice, so that the liquid crystal capacitors electrically connected to the gate lines receive the data voltage twice. As a result, even though the time for charging the liquid crystal capacitors may be reduced, the liquid crystal capacitors may be fully charged to enhance display quality.

Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to provide a new staple remover in which not only staples having different standards can be removed simply through a curved member formed at the front side of the staple remover in accordance with the present invention and but also the incompletely removed staples can be held and completely removed with a simple method through contacting members formed at the staple remover. The staple remover comprises: upper and lower members in which they are rotatably combined with each other through a hinge portion which is equipped to rear ends of the upper and lower members and repelled, facing with each other, by an elastic force of an elastic member combined at the position adjacent to the hinge portion; a plurality of staple removing members formed vertically to a lower portion of the upper member and the upper portion of the lower member, respectively, for removing a staple fixed to several kinds of document or paper; and a curved member with a plate shape formed vertically and upwardly between the outside staple removing member pair of the front end of the lower member, whereby the curved member is inserted between the several kinds of document or paper and the staple, thereby removing the staple.

Disclosed are an apparatus for and a method of measuring optical alignment conditions of optical fibers mounted to a V-groove array in an optical fiber block connected to the input or output terminals of an optical waveguide device. The disclosed apparatus includes a light source, a measuring unit for measuring the characteristics of a light emitted from the light source and outputted from each of the optical fibers after passing through the optical fiber, and a control unit for determining respective central positions of the first and last ones of the optical fibers, based on the characteristics of the first and last optical fibers measured by the measuring unit, determining a direction connecting the determined central positions of the first and last optical fibers, and conducting a control for allowing the light emitted from the light source to be irradiated onto the remaining optical fibers in a sequential fashion along the determined direction, thereby allowing the measuring unit to measure the characteristics of the remaining optical fibers.

Abstract:
A method of fabricating an optical fiber doped with a rare earth component using a volatile complex, which flattens the light frequency response under a stimulated emission of radiation principle using a modified chemical vapor deposition method. Silicon tetrachloride (SiCl.sub.4) and oxygen are injected into a quartz reaction tube under a heating process, so that a cladding layer is repeatedly deposited. Then, a volatile organic metal chelate, silicon tetrachloride and oxygen are injected into the quartz reaction tube, and then heated and water-cooled to form a porous layer. At the same time, a rare earth element is deposited on the porous layer, to thereby form a core layer. Thereafter, via a high heating process, a preform is completed. Then, an optical fiber is obtained from the preform via a drawing-out process. Here, hydroxide ions (OH.sup.-) which occur as the organic ligand is volatilized and cause an optical loss of the optical fiber is removed as the porous layer is formed by the water-cooling, and an added rare earth content is easily controlled, so that the rare earth with high concentration is evenly distributed. Also, since the core laver adopts SiO.sub.2 and Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 as a host material instead of GeO.sub.2, the difference in a refractive index between the cladding and core layers becomes greater then 0.025, to thereby provide the optical fiber with excellent optical characteristics.
