Abstract: A field emission display device is disclosed. The device comprises an upper plate and a lower plate that are vacuum-packaged in parallel, wherein the lower plate is composed of matrix-addressable pixels, wherein the pixel formed on an insulation substrate comprises a field emitter array, a control thin-film transistor having a drain connected to an emitter electrode of the emitter array, and an addressing thin-film transistor having a drain connected to a gate electrode of the control thin-film transistor. Designing the control thin-film transistor to have a large parasitic capacitance between the source and the gate, one can obtain an active matrix display having a memory function and eliminate a conventional complex fabricating process of a memory capacitor, thereby simplify a panel fabricating process remarkably and largely increase the aperture ratio of a pixel.

Abstract: A method for performing a read data operation in a double data rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) capable of effectively issuing two data within one clock cycle for high-speed operation. The method includes the steps of simultaneously accessing two memory cells and prefetching data stored in the two memory cells, which includes first and second bit data. The method continues by latching the first and second bit data, generating signals to synchronize the first and second bit data with rising and falling edges of a clock and to control an issue of the first and second bit data, and issuing the first and second bit data in response to the generated signals.
