Abstract:
An apparatus and method for data interface of a flat panel display device, which is capable of transferring clocks in a state, in which the clocks are embedded in digital data, thereby reducing the number of transfer lines, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a transmitter unit built in a timing controller, to transmit transfer data with an embedding clock embedded between successive pieces of data, and a clock enable signal to indicate the embedding clock, and receiver units respectively built in a plurality of data integrated circuits connected to the timing controller, to separate and detect the embedding clock and the data from the transfer data, in response to the clock enable signal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a 6 bit/8 bit gamma common driving circuit and a method for driving the same, in which a gamma voltage is changed selectively according to a number of received bits by using an R-string for using gamma in common. The 6 bit/8 bit gamma common driving circuit includes a gamma selection unit having an 8 bit receiving terminal for receiving a 6 bit or 8 bit digital data, and the gamma selection unit by passing the 8 bit data received at the receiving terminal, or adding “00” to least significant two bits of the 6 bit data received at the receiving terminal to change the 6 bit data to an 8 bit data and forwarding the 8 bit data, according to an external bit selection BSEL signal; a summing unit for summing most significant 6 bit data of the 8 bit data from the gamma selection unit and forwarding a carry signal “0 or 1”, or summing the 8 bit data from the gamma selection unit and forwarding a carry signal “0 or 1”, according to the bit selection BSEL signal; and a digital-to-analog converter for forwarding an analog signal corresponding to a R-string relevant to the data from the gamma selection unit if the carry signal from the summing unit is “0”, or forwarding an analog signal corresponding to R225 of the R-string if the carry signal from the summing unit is “1”.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a body, a refrigerator door for opening/closing a front surface of the body, with the refrigerator door having an opening, an auxiliary door for opening/closing the opening of the refrigerator door, and a damping unit coupled to a hinge shaft of the auxiliary door to control an opening/closing speed of the auxiliary door. The damping unit includes a case, a rotating member rotatably installed in the case, oil filled in the case to apply resistance against rotation of the rotating member, a fixing member coupled to an end portion of a rotating shaft of the rotating member to rotate together with the rotating member, and an elastic member provided between the case and the fixing member to apply elastic force to the fixing member in a direction opposite to an opening direction of the auxiliary door. It is possible to stably rotate the auxiliary door while controlling the rotational speed of the auxiliary door.

Abstract:
An automatic door closing device of a refrigerator, which allows a drawer unit to automatically close a storage compartment, and a refrigerator having the same. The automatic door closing device is provided at a front lateral region of the drawer unit, thereby being operated even if a user moves the drawer unit only a short distance. Further, since the automatic door closing device is positioned so as not to invade an installation space of a sliding device for sliding opening/closing of the drawer unit, the sliding device may be installed to easily support the weight of the drawer unit. A damper device is provided underneath the automatic door closing device to prevent the automatic door closing device from causing sudden closing motion of the drawer unit. The damper device may adjust the beginning of shock alleviation by adjusting the length of a damper rod.
