Abstract:
A digital broadcast transmission system and a signal processing method thereof offers improved receptability. The digital broadcast transmission system includes an error correction encoding unit for encoding an input signal according to a predetermined error correction method; a synchronous signal inserting unit for inserting a synchronous signal in the input signal after the error correction encoding; a first pilot inserting unit for inserting a first pilot signal in the input signal which contains the synchronous signal therein; a second pilot inserting unit for inserting a plurality of second pilot signals in the input signal which contains the first pilot signal therein; a pulse shaping filter for pulse shaping the input signal with the first and the second pilot signals according to a predetermined roll-off factor; and a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting the pulse-shaped input signal to a transmission channel band. By inserting a plurality of pilot signals in the transmitted data, problems associated with disappearance of only pilot signal due to poor channel environment can be overcome.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a color filter substrate of an LCD is disclosed. By forming the color filter layer from a hydrophobic material, a fluid black matrix material deposited on the surface of the substrate including the color filter layer flows from the surface of the color filter layer and accumulates between sub-color filters of the color filter layer. The black matrix material is then hardened, permitting the black matrix to be formed between the sub-color filters but not on the color filter layer. Accordingly, the number of mask processes for forming a black matrix is reduced. Further, since the black matrix is only disposed between the sub-color filters, an overcoat layer to eliminate the step difference due to the color filters need not be formed.
