Abstract:
An apparatus for driving a liquid crystal display device comprises a display area which includes a plurality of liquid crystal cells in portions defined by a plurality of gate and data lines; a gate driver which supplies overlapped gate pulses to the adjacent gate lines; a data driver which supplies a data voltage to the data line in synchronization with the gate pulse; and a timing controller which controls an overlapped section of the gate pulses supplied to the adjacent gate lines.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a recombinant vector for transcription of the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) genome, a strain of attenuated recombinant NDV with a surface antigen of pathogenic NDV prepared by the vector, a method of preparing a recombinant NDV having low pathogenicity and high protectivity efficiency against Newcastle disease (ND) using the vector, and a vaccine against ND containing the recombinant NDV.
Abstract:
A broadcast receiving apparatus and a control method thereof, in which a plurality of tuners performs respectively a channel quick-searching operation and a channel fine-searching operation at the same time, so that receiving channels are quickly and accurately searched, thereby performing a channel preset. The apparatus and control method utilize a first tuner and a second tuner, including tuning a first channel using the first tuner; determining the presence of a synchronous signal in a first broadcast signal of the first channel tuned through the first tuner; retuning the first channel using the second tuner; and determining the presence of a right turning point in a second broadcast signal of the first channel retuned through the second tuner.
Abstract:
An LCD according to the present invention includes lower and upper panels facing each other and a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. The upper panel includes a black matrix formed on an inner surface of an insulating substrate, having openings corresponding to pixel areas, and blocking the light leakage between the pixel areas, a plurality of red, green, and blue color filter sequentially arranged in the pixel regions, a flat layer formed on the red, green and blue color filters, and a common electrode formed on the flat layer, made of transparent conductive material such as ITO (indium tin oxide) or IZO (indium zinc oxide), and supplied with a predetermined voltage for driving the liquid molecules in cooperation with the pixel electrodes. In addition, a light diffraction layer having micro structure of slit pattern or diffraction lattice is formed between the black matrix and the red, green, or blue color filters. The light diffraction layer is made of transparent conductive material such as ITO or IZO or transparent insulating material such as silicon nitride or silicon oxide. The gap between the slits or width of slits of the light diffraction layer is preferably equal to or less than seven microns and it is possible to have two or more different widths or gaps in the range of equal to or less than 7 microns.
Abstract:
A thin film transistor array panel is provided, which includes: a plurality of gate lines formed on a substrate and including a plurality of oblique portions and a plurality of gate electrodes; a first insulating layer on the gate line; a semiconductor layer formed on the first insulating layer; a plurality of data lines formed at least on the semiconductor layer and intersecting the gate lines to defined trapezoidal pixel areas; a plurality of drain electrodes separated from the data lines; a second insulating layer formed at least on portions of the semiconductor layer that are not covered with the data lines and the drain electrodes; a plurality of pixel electrodes formed on the second insulating layer and connected to the drain electrodes, at least two of the pixel electrodes disposed in each pixel area; and a plurality of common electrodes formed on the second insulating layer, arranged alternate to the pixel electrodes and connected to the drain electrodes, each common electrode having an edge spaced apart from an edge of the pixel electrodes and substantially parallel to the edge of the pixel electrodes.
Abstract:
An apparatus for cleaning a wafer includes a rotary chuck for supporting and rotating a wafer, a cleaning solution supply unit for supplying a cleaning solution onto the wafer, a bowl spaced apart from and surrounding the rotary chuck, and a protrusion portion protruded from the rotary chuck and having a slope face with respect to the rotary chuck. The protrusion portion can prevent an ascending air stream from being generated by a vortex when the rotary chuck rotates. A guide member can be positioned between the bowl and the rotary chuck to guide the cleaning solution downwardly to a bottom portion of the bowl. A protector can extend from an inner side surface of the guide member toward the rotary chuck, to prevent an ascending air stream caused by the vortex.
