Abstract:
An integrated circuit assembly includes a voltage level generator, a level shifter, a bandgap reference generator and a voltage regulator. The voltage level generator generates output voltage level signals in response to a supply voltage. The level shifter receives the output voltage level signals from the voltage level generator and generates first and second sets of control signals. The bandgap reference generator receives a reference voltage input and generates a bandgap reference signal. The voltage regulator receives a supply voltage, the bandgap reference signal the first and second sets of control signals from the level shifter and generates a constant output voltage under varying circuit conditions.

The present invention relates to a variably focusing mirror for realizing an automatic focusing and optical zooming of a miniature camera module, the mirror comprising a driving part having a supporting board and more than one permanent magnet attached on the supporting board; and a mirror having a coil, a reflective surface of which a curvature is changed by the magnitude and the direction of a current flowing through the coil and a thin film on which the reflective surface is incorporated. The variably focusing mirror according to the present invention can realize a focusing and an optical zooming by adjusting a curvature radius of a reflective surface. Therefore, it can remarkably decrease the volume of a camera module and be used in various applications requiring for a miniature camera module.
Abstract:
In a display apparatus and a method for driving the display apparatus, the display apparatus includes a display panel and a gate driving part. The display panel has a gate line, and a gate driving part has a plurality of stages and a plurality of signal lines. At least one of the stages includes a transferring stage sequentially driving the stage, and an output stage partially driving the gate line, in response to a signal outputted from the transferring stage and a driving area selection signal. Accordingly, the display apparatus is partially driven, so that current consumption may be decreased, the display apparatus may be more safely driven, and a position, a size and the number of a non-display area may be more easily controlled.
Abstract:
A substrate dryer includes, among other things, means for generating isopropyl alcohol bubbles, and a vibrator to atomize stored isopropyl alcohol. A heater may be provided to heat pumped isopropyl alcohol, as wells as a spray nozzle to spray the heated IPA to the vibrator. It is possible to increase the concentration of the isopropyl alcohol supplied for the purpose of drying the substrate. Improved substrate drying is achieved.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a lens driving device which is able to increase displacement without restriction, does not require a complex structure despite having a low power consumption, solves problems of friction and noise occurring in a gear mechanism, and realizes miniaturization and lightness. The lens driving device of the present invention includes a substrate which generates surface acoustic waves on a surface thereof, and a movable unit which is coupled to an optical lens and executes translation above the substrate using the surface acoustic waves. Therefore, the lens driving device of the present invention can implement translation of a lens without a separate mechanism, unlike conventional driving devices using motors and screws. Furthermore, the present invention satisfies the recent trend towards miniaturization and lightness, thus being usable in a variety of industrial fields that use optical lenses.
Abstract:
A flow control valve apparatus using a flow control valve manufactured via micro-machining is provided. The flow control valve has a substrate defining at least one orifice through which a fluid can flow, a support member formed on a first surface of the substrate, at least one flap corresponding to the at least one orifice, a pair of elastic flexures connecting the support member to the at least one flap, and a driving means for displacing the at least one flap between the first and second positions to control fluid flow through the at least one orifice. The support member is formed adjacent to the at least one orifice and the at least one flap extends from the support member to fittingly engage the at least one orifice in a first and second position. Also, the pair of elastic flexures provides an elastic restorative force proportional to a displacement of the at least one flap between the first and second positions.
