Abstract:
An LCD according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first substrate; a first electrode disposed on the first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a second electrode disposed on the second substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a first alignment film attached on the first electrode and having a position-dependent thickness that achieves variations of the dielectric constant of from 1 to about 50.
Abstract:
A portable display device includes a display formed with electronic paper, an illuminating unit, and a controller. The electronic paper displays data in response to applied electrical current, and maintains displaying of the data in an absence of the applied electrical current. The illuminating unit selectively illuminates each particular region of a plurality of regions of the display and includes a plurality of light sources which are individually associated with one or more of the plurality of regions of the display. The controller activates the illuminating unit, selectively activating a first group of the plurality of light sources to illuminate a particular region of the display responsive to user contact, and the first group includes at least one of the plurality of light sources.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display includes an insulating substrate, gate and data lines formed on the substrate to define pixel areas, or collectively a display area. Gate signal interconnection wires are formed at a corner portion of the substrate outside the display area to transmit gate electrical signals, and provided with gate signal interconnection lines and first and second gate signal interconnection pads connected to both ends of the gate signal interconnection lines. A gate insulating layer, and a protective layer are further formed on the substrate, and provided with first and second contact holes exposing the first and second gate signal interconnection pads. Gate and data signal transmission films are attached to the substrate, and provided with first and second gate signal leads and first and second gate signal wires. The first and second gate signal leads are connected to the first and second gate signal interconnection pads through the first and second contact holes. The first or the second gate signal lead completely covers the first or the second contact hole at least in the longitudinal direction of the lead.

Abstract:
A micromachined cell lysis device with electrodes that are spaced by less than 10 μm from one another. The cells are attracted to the space between the electrodes and then lysed.
Abstract:
A centrifugal compressor includes first and second impellers coupled to opposite ends of a drive shaft. Each impeller includes a hub with a plurality of blades on a front face. The blades compress a fluid, while forcing the fluid off an outer periphery of the hub. At least one of the impellers includes a plurality of uniformly shaped pressure attenuating grooves provided around its outer periphery. The pressure attenuating grooves reduce an axial load applied to the impeller, and act to balance the overall resultant axial load applied to the drive shaft by the two impellers, thereby reducing wear on thrust bearings engaging the rotating drive shaft.
Abstract:
A turbo compressor is disclosed. The compressor includes a hermetically sealed shell, a motor chamber formed at a center portion of the shell, a driving motor installed in the motor chamber, a driving shaft engaged with the driving motor having its one end inserted into a first compression chamber and its other end inserted into a second compression chamber with said first and second compression chambers being formed at both sides of the shell, first and second impellers disposed in the first and second compression chambers in a face-to-face form and rotatably engaged with both ends of the driving shaft, and a gas flow path through which a refrigerant gas is sucked for thereby first compressing the gas in the first compression chamber and discharging to the second compression chamber for thereby implementing a small size compressor, decreasing the number of parts and increasing a compression efficiency.
