Abstract:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device and a method of manufacturing the same is disclosed, to improve the picture quality by preventing the movement of ball spacers from a non-pixel area to a pixel area, in which the method includes preparing a substrate including a pixel area and a non-pixel area; forming a well in a predetermined portion of the non-pixel area wherein forming the well includes coating an alignment layer on the substrate and excluding the alignment layer from a predetermined portion of the non-pixel area; and forming a ball spacer in the well using an ink-jet apparatus.
Abstract:
A water ring scanning apparatus configured to process an initial data set, such as a video frame, is disclosed. The water ring scanning apparatus is configured to write a portion of data from the initial data set into a data string. The initial data set is organized with at least one initial origin enveloped by a plurality of nested initial environs successively surrounding each other in the initial data set. The scanner is configured to write a portion of the data from the initial data set into the data string by starting at the RC grouping corresponding to the initial origin (initial water ring (0)) and by sequentially progressing outwardly from the family of RC groupings corresponding to the nearest nested initial environ (initial water ring (1)) towards the family of RC groupings corresponding to a furthest nested initial environ (initial water ring (n)).
Abstract:
A method of forming a spacer for a liquid crystal display (LCD) device is disclosed. To form the spacer, an ink jet injection nozzle is aligned over a substrate on which unit pixels are arranged in a matrix. After aligning the nozzle, first dispensing spacers are dispensed from the injection nozzle with a certain gap so that at least one unit pixels is interposed between the spacers. Subsequently, the nozzle is moved and second dispensing spacers are dispensed by the nozzle at each of the unit pixels formed between the first spacers. This is repeated until the spacer is formed at all unit pixels. The spacer contains a ball spacer and a volatile liquid, which is vaporized during dispensing. The ink jet injection method prevents adjacent spacers from interfering with each other during formation.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for carrying out a fast discrete cosine transform (DCT) with same positions of input and output data, and also a recording medium which is readable by a computer with a program loaded thereon, are disclosed. In the intermediate arithmetic procedure of the one-dimensional or two-dimensional forward or inverse DCT, the positions of the input and output data are made same, and therefore, an additional memory is not required. Specifically, the apparatus for carrying out the fast discrete cosine transform (DCT) with same positions of input and output data includes an input data sequence transposing means for transposing a sequence of an externally inputted input data by using a transposing matrix E. A butterfly arithmetic means carries out a butterfly arithmetic operation by using a Gt−1Bt−1. Gt−2Bt−2 . . . G0B0 matrix on a data obtained as a result of transposing the sequence of the input data by the input data sequence transposing means. A repeated addition and regularization arithmetic means carries out a repeated addition and regularization arithmetic operation by using an FkQ0Q1 . . . Qt−1 matrix on a data obtained as a result of carrying out the butterfly arithmetic operation by the butterfly arithmetic means. The present invention is applicable to the conversion and inversion of digital signals.
Abstract:
The present invention provides the method of extracting temporal and spatial combination markers including the steps of: (1) simplifying inputted current image frames, quantizing the simplified images, and then extracting spatial markers from the simplified and quantized image frames using spatial information; (2) extracting temporal markers from inputted current image frames and previous image frames using temporal information, and (3) combining the extracted spatial marker and the extracted temporal marker to extract temporal and spatial markers.
Abstract:
A method of automatically dividing the domain of a motion picture is disclosed including the steps of: quantizing at least two sequential picture frames, and simplifying the shapes of the quantized picture frames; obtaining time space slope information from the quantized and simplified picture frames; detecting divides of the picture from the time space gradient information, and obtaining the boundaries between the divides, so as to divide the picture into multiple regions; combining neighboring smaller regions using graph theory, to thereby reduce the number of the divided regions; and dividing the regions into a motionless background object and moving objects, using motion information of the combined regions.
