Abstract: A semiconductor device structure, for example a 3D structure, and a method for fabricating a semiconductor device. As non-limiting examples, various aspects of this disclosure provide various semiconductor package structures, and methods for manufacturing thereof, that comprise interposer, interlayer, and/or heat dissipater configurations that provide for low cost, increased manufacturability, and high reliability.

Abstract: A display device includes a substrate including an active area having pixels and a non-active area including a pad region. A pad electrode is disposed in the pad region and includes a first pad electrode and a second pad electrode disposed on the first pad electrode. A first insulating pattern is interposed between the first and second pad electrodes. In a plan view, the first insulating pattern is positioned inside the first pad electrode, and a portion of the second pad electrode overlapping the first insulating pattern protrudes further from the substrate in a thickness direction than a portion of the second pad electrode not overlapping the first insulating pattern. The second pad electrode directly contacts a portion of the upper surface of the first pad electrode. In a plan view, an area of the second pad electrode is greater than an area of the first pad electrode.

Abstract: A predictive coding in a video coding system, which can enhance the coding efficiency by predictively coding DC coefficients of a block to be coded using DC gradients of a plurality of previously coded neighboring blocks. The predictive coefficient is selected according to the difference between the quantized DC gradients (coefficients) of a plurality of neighboring blocks of the block to be coded, and the DC coefficient of the block to be coded is predictively coded by the selected predictive coefficient, thereby enhancing the coding efficiency.

Abstract: A method of coding/decoding image information is derived to perform a boundary block merge of the macro blocks of the image information and copy the DCT coefficients of a block that is converted to an exterior block from a boundary one out of left-sided and upper-sided blocks for the use purpose in performing a prediction of the DCT coefficients of the block's sub blocks, thus enhancing the efficiency of a coding/decoding process.

Abstract: A device for coding/decoding image information is provided to perform a boundary block merge of macro blocks of image information. Further, the DCT coefficients of a block are copied, if that is converted to an exterior block from a boundary block out of left-sided and upper-sided blocks for the purpose of performing a prediction of the DCT coefficients of the block's sub blocks. Thus, the efficiency of a coding/decoding process is enhanced.
