  • Patent number: 8264778
    Abstract: A display substrate includes a base substrate, a reflection-polarization member, a first electrode, an insulation layer and a pixel wall. The reflection-polarization member is disposed on the base substrate to reflect and polarize incident light. The first electrode is disposed in a unit pixel area of the reflection-polarization member. The insulation layer is disposed on the first electrode. The pixel wall is disposed on the insulation layer and defines the unit pixel area. Therefore, the entire area of a unit pixel may be used as a reflective area or a transmissive area, and thus an aperture ratio may be improved in a reflection mode or a transmission mode.

  • Patent number: 8255958
    Abstract: An automobile entertainment system includes a plurality of video systems, each video system mounted within an automobile headrest. The headrest includes a headrest body and a first downwardly extending extension arm having a passage extending therethrough. The entertainment system also includes a central switching assembly linking the plurality of video systems. At least one of the video systems includes an output transmitting signals to the central switching assembly to transfer to the remaining video systems. Each video system also includes an input transmitting signals from the central switching assembly to the respective video systems.

  • Patent number: 7595207
    Abstract: To improve product yield, light is scanned on a layer on a substrate through a mask. A pattern is formed on the substrate by the exposure of the layer. The direction of scanning is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the pattern. The capacitance difference due to coupling of the pattern to be formed and a conductive layer formed through an insulation layer is reduced. Thus, failures of a display device are reduced and the product yield is increased.

  • Patent number: 7426369
    Abstract: An appliance having programmable identification address storing non-memory includes a non-memory programmable address storing device. An ID address of the appliance is programmed using an electric fuse even when the appliance does not include non-volatile memory (NVM) or another memory. Accordingly, in portable appliances such as a portable audio device (an MP3 player) that supports Bluetooth communications the ID address can be stored by the appliance. Further, ID addresses of appliances, such as transmitting/receiving devices used in IEEE communications and mobile communications, can be stored without a need for NVM or another memory. The ID addresses can be assigned to these appliances by programming of an application designer.

  • Patent number: 7418246
    Abstract: A physical layer unit (PLU) for receiving (and transmitting) various signals, a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) system including the PLU, and a wireless LAN method using the wireless LAN system. The wireless LAN system is capable of receiving signals of different standards, by performing a first preamble processing of an input signal for a predetermined first time period of 16 ?s (the preamble processing time period according to an OFDM standard for determining whether the input signal corresponds to the OFDM standard), and performing a second preamble processing within a predetermined second time period (the remainder of a preamble processing time period for determining whether the input signal corresponds to a DSSS/CCK standard), if the input signal does not correspond to the OFDM standard. Therefore, DSSS/CCK and OFDM signals can be transmitted and received reliably in the integrated wireless LAN system according to the IEEE 802.11.g standard.
