Abstract:
A method of forming a backlight assembly is presented. The invention reduces the degradation of display quality caused by an uneven expansion of the reflective sheet in a display device. the reflective sheet may be positioned between the light guiding plate and the base in a backlight assembly of a display device. The backlight assembly includes a light source, a light guiding plate positioned to guide light from the light source in a predetermined direction, a base on which the light guiding plate is mounted, and a reflective sheet positioned between the light guiding plate and the base. The reflective sheet has a cutout. A supporting structure extends through the cutout between the light guiding plate and the base to support the light guiding plate. A liquid crystal display device made with such backlight assembly is also presented.

Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus for extracting a drive characteristic of a drive system. The apparatus includes a drive unit supplying a rotating force to a drive shaft. A force-torque sensor unit is detachably coupled to the drive shaft of the drive unit, and may not rotate when it is coupled to the drive shaft. A load unit is detachably coupled to the drive shaft of the drive unit. A control unit is configured to control drive energy supplied to the drive unit, derive a drive-unit constant by using a relation between the input drive energy and measurement torque when the drive unit is coupled to the force-torque sensor unit, calculate frictional torque using the derived drive-unit constant, the input drive energy, an inertia moment and angular acceleration of the load unit when the drive unit is coupled to the load unit, and derive a frictional coefficient from the frictional torque.
