Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes a lower electrode, an upper electrode, and a dielectric layer structure between the lower electrode and the upper electrode, the dielectric layer structure including a first surface facing the lower electrode and a second surface facing the upper electrode. The dielectric layer structure includes a first dielectric layer including a first dielectric material and a plurality of grains extending from the first surface to the second surface and a second dielectric layer including a second dielectric material and surrounding a portion of a sidewall of each of the plurality of grains of the first dielectric layer in a level lower than the second surface. The second dielectric material includes a material having bandgap energy which is higher than bandgap energy of the first dielectric material.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a printed electronic device using multi-passivation and the printed electronic device. The method for manufacturing a printed electronic device using multi-passivation includes printing a printed electronic device including a gate electrode, a dielectric layer, a semiconductor layer, a source electrode and a drain electrode; and printing a multi-passivation layer of a multi-layer structure for passivating the printed electronic device by using amorphous fluoropolymer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a laundry machine, which washes laundry using rotation of a drum, and a method of controlling an operation thereof. The laundry machine is operated in consideration of information about a floor, on which the laundry machine is installed, and thus the optimized operation of the laundry machine is performed according to a state of the floor, thereby minimizing noise and sagging of the floor due to vibration.

Abstract: A ball balancer and a laundry apparatus having the same are disclosed. A ball balancer includes a circular housing comprising motion space formed therein, a fluid inlet and an air outlet, a plurality of ball members movable in motion space of the housing, a closing member closing up the fluid inlet and the air outlet, and viscous fluid filled in the motion space via the fluid inlet formed in the housing. The ball balancer according to the present invention may be fabricated more efficiently.

Abstract: A laundry machine is disclosed. The laundry machine includes a cabinet defining a first receiving space to receive laundry to be treated, a plurality of legs each of which comprises a leg head located at an installation surface and a leg body configured to connect the leg head to the cabinet, a sub cabinet defining a second receiving space having a volume less than the first receiving space, the sub cabinet being coupled to a bottom of the cabinet, and a plurality of coupling members configured to detachably couple the sub cabinet to the cabinet. According to this laundry machine, it is possible to easily achieve the coupling and separation between the cabinet and the sub cabinet.

Abstract: Disclosed is a washing machine having an improved circulation apparatus for pumping water in a lower side of the tub and discharging the pumped water from an upper side of the tub. The circulation apparatus includes a circulation motor, a circulation hose and an injection unit. The circulation motor communicates with a lower side of a tub of a washing machine to pump water in the tub. The circulation hose has one end that is connected with the circulation motor, and guides the pumped water. The injection unit includes a nozzle. that has a facing surface facing an inside of a drum and left and right surfaces of the facing surface, the facing surface and the left and right surfaces being completely opened. The nozzle disperses the water into the inside of the drum.

Abstract: A horizon control structure for a washing machine is provided. The structure includes: a stopper base having a base body having a predetermined diameter, a sleeve mount hollow depressed inside of the base body and having a predetermined diameter, at least one protrusion insertion through-hole being at a distance and provided inside of the base body, and a slip preventing part provided on a bottom surface of the base body; and a leg stopper layered on the stopper base, and having a stopper body having a predetermined diameter, an insertion sleeve extended from a rear surface of the stopper body and having a predetermined diameter and length, and an insertion protrusion protruded from a rear surface of the stopper body and having a predetermined length.

Abstract: Washing machines having improved frictional forces with laundry. Those machines include a cabinet with a door, a tub inside for retaining wash water, and an internal vessel, inside the tub that is coupled with a motor that rotates the internal vessel. A friction member inside the internal vessel rubs against laundry. The frictional member includes a friction enhancer, such as a spherical structure or a freely rotating ball, that enhances laundry friction during washing and reduces adhesion of laundry after a dehydration cycle.
