A transflective display panel and a display apparatus using the same are provided. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix. Each of the pixels includes a plurality of subpixels, and each subpixel within a pixel outputs a different color of light. In addition, each of the subpixels includes a transflective mode region which has a reflection mode region with a diffraction grating and a transmission mode region; a liquid crystal layer which adjusts a transmittance of incident light through electric control; and a sub color filter which transmits light within a wavelength band of the incident light. Because the display panel includes the reflection mode region where the diffraction grating is formed, it can display a high-quality image with good white balance, even while outdoors or under bright illumination.

The present invention relates to an interference optical modulator and a display apparatus having the same. The display apparatus includes a metal thin film and a dielectric multiple thin film spaced apart from the metal thin film. The display apparatus may realize colors by changing an interval between the metal thin film and the dielectric multiple thin film, and may realize a black color by applying a voltage to each respective sub-pixel.
Abstract:
A transistor with a carbon nanotube channel and a method of manufacturing the same. At least two gate electrodes are formed on a gate insulating layer formed on a carbon nanotube channel and are insulated from each other. Thus, the minority carrier may be reduced or prevented from flowing into the carbon nanotube channel. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce or prevent a leakage current that is generated when both the majority carrier and the minority carrier flow into the carbon nanotube channel. Therefore, characteristics of the transistor may not be degraded due to the leakage current.
