During a dark sate and a bright state in each of a plurality of consecutive periods, phases of the time series data are opposite and integral values of the grayscales of the predetermined plane are the same. The processing circuit embeds the watermark signal into the input video signal to generate an output video signal with the watermark information. The display panel displays an image according to the output video signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Yang-En WU, Wen-Rei GUO, Wei-Ming CHENG, Chao-Wei LI

Patent number: 9330956Abstract: A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided and comprises steps as follows. A Si substrate is provided. The Si substrate includes a first region and a second region. A sacrificial oxide layer is formed on the substrate with respect to the first region. A sacrificial nitride layer is conformally formed on the sacrificial oxide layer and on the substrate with respect to the second region. A photoresist layer is coated over the sacrificial nitride layer. A shallow trench isolation (STI) mask is provided. The STI mask has at least one first STI pattern and at least one second STI pattern to be transferred to the Si substrate to form at least one first trench and at least one second trench in the substrate. A STI oxide layer is deposited. A chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) process is performed until the sacrificial oxide layer is removed.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2015Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Jen-Chieh Lo, Chao-Ming Cheng
