Abstract:
In a backlight assembly and an LCD device having the same, a backlight assembly includes a main light source and an auxiliary light source. The main light source is under an LCD panel that displays an image. The main light source generates a main light. The auxiliary light source generates an auxiliary light. Therefore, luminance of the backlight assembly becomes more uniform, and an image display quality of the LCD device is improved.
Abstract:
A surface light source unit of a liquid crystal display device that is capable of preventing occurrence of a dark area caused by external electrode elements. The surface light source unit of a liquid crystal display unit comprises a surface light source body having a plurality of discharge sections which are divided into first regions where the discharge sections are shaded by a support frame, and a second region where the discharge sections are exposed without being shaded by the support frame, and first external electrode elements provided on the surface light source body to correspond to the first regions that cover an area of the plurality of discharge sections that is smaller than the first regions. As a result, luminance of light projected from the surface light source unit can be uniformly controlled, and a display quality can be enhanced.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a multicarrier-based wireless communication system including a base station for providing a multiple access service to terminals which filter multitone transmitting signals through filters and transmit the filtered signals. A transmitter of the respective terminals includes a multiplexer for multiplexing an input signal and outputting the signal as a plurality of transmitting signals, at least one filter bank for filtering the plurality of transmitting signals, an inverse fast Fourier transformer for executing inverse fast Fourier transform of the filtered transmitting signals output from the filter bank, and a filter information generator for providing filter information to the filter bank. Since the transmitter of the present invention distinguishes users from each other by a filter and thus no synchronization is required between users, which causes a problem in an uplink of the multicarrier-based wireless communication system, system performance can be expected to be improved.
Abstract:
A preprocessing apparatus and method for a transmitter and a receiver to prevent system performance degradation caused by Inter-Channel Interference (ICI) or inter-symbol interference (ISI) in an OFDM system. In the OFDM system using N carriers having different frequency bands and K carriers of the N carriers designated as redundant carriers, the transmitter renders ICI-causing parts to be zeroes in a data frame, when a cyclic prefix is not longer than a channel impulse response. Therefore, the ICI is prevented. The receiver eliminates the ISI involved in a current frame using an interference estimated from a previous data frame. Therefore, noise spread caused by the use of redundant carriers is prevented and system complexity is remarkably reduced.
Abstract:
A hybrid circuit board includes a first circuit board and a second circuit boards. The first circuit board includes a first body having a slot, and a first circuit pattern formed on the first body and extended to the slot. The second circuit board includes a second body, a protruding portion, a second circuit pattern, and a separating member. The protruding portion extends from the second body. The protruding portion is inserted into the slot of the first circuit board to combine the second circuit board to the first circuit board. The second circuit pattern is formed on the second body to be extended to the protruding portion, so that the second circuit pattern is electrically connected to the first circuit pattern of the first circuit board. The separating member is disposed between the second body and the protruding portion to separate the protruding portion from the second body.

Abstract:
A receiving apparatus in an OFDM communication system, in which the receiving apparatus includes a serial-to-parallel converter that converts a serial signal received through an antenna to parallel signals. A pre-processor processes an nth symbol converted in the serial-to-parallel converter using an (n−1)th symbol and an (n+1)th symbol. A Fourier transformer Fourier-transforms the output of the pre-processor and an equalizer equalizes a Fourier-transformed signal. A deinterleaver deinterleaves an equalized signal, a decoder decodes a deinterleaved signal, and a parallel-to-serial converter converts parallel decoded signal to a signal stream.
