Abstract:
An illuminator of a door outside handle for a vehicle may perform both a function of a light source and a light guiding function. The illuminator may further employ a light guide having a mood lamp function on an inner surface of the door outside handle and a top LED combined with the light guide to illuminate the outer panel together with the illuminator, making it possible to enhance a product value due to realization of various illumination effects. The illuminator of a door outside handle for a vehicle can be turned on or off through various operation logics by employing multiple different illumination methods where lights of different colors can be realized according to the operation condition, making it possible to enhance product value.

Abstract:
A semiconductor device for reducing junction leakage current and mitigating the narrow width effect, and a fabrication method thereof, are provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate in which an active region and an isolation region including a trench are formed, a spacer which is formed on both sidewalls of the trench, a channel stop impurity region which is self-aligned by the spacer and locally formed only at the lower portion of the isolation region, an isolation insulating layer in which the trench is buried, and a gate pattern which is formed on the isolation insulating layer and the active region. When the channel stop impurity region is formed only at the lower portion of the isolation region, isolation characteristics between unit cells can be improved, and also, a junction leakage current can be reduced. Further, the present invention can reduce a narrow width effect, in which a threshold voltage rapidly decreases as a channel width becomes narrower, owing to the formation of the channel stop impurity region on the edges of the active region.
Abstract:
This disclosure generally relates to various directional input units of a mobile communication terminal, where such directional input units receive a single user input or multiple concurrent user inputs and then acquires at least one selecting (user) sub-input therefrom while a terminal is in its powered-off state or its off-state. After acquiring the selecting user sub-input, a terminal runs at least one pre-selected operation which is selected from a set of multiple pre-selected operations and which matches the selecting user sub-input when a terminal powers on from its powered-off state or wakes up from its off-state. A directional input unit may acquire the selecting user sub-input from a movement of at least a portion thereof, a contact between at least a portion thereof and a user body part, or the like. As a result, a terminal can provide a user with more seamless operations.

This disclosure relates to various configurations or methods of displaying push information such as a number or a substance of push information which is received by an app implemented to a data processing terminal such as a smartphone. More particularly, this disclosure relates to various methods of creating and using (1) an unread content which a sender selects a user as a labeled receiver but the user has not yet confirmed or read), and (2) a labeled icon badge which can represent a number of such unread labeled contents or a substance of such labeled contents. This disclosure also relates to various methods of creating and using a labeled icon badge which can distinguish a labeled content from an unlabeled content, where the labeled content is the one with more need for a user to confirm and where the unlabeled content is the one with less need for a user to confirm.
