Abstract: A method for recovering video data in a disk when a reading error occurs is provided. First, the disk is scanned to obtain a next writable address (NWA) of a last video chapter previously recorded into the disk. An end address of a successfully recorded video chapter is then read from a specific area of the disk and stored into a memory. Next, when a disk player/recorder is requested to read content of data according to the NWA, the disk player/recorder determines whether the content of the data is a file system. If the content of the data is not a file system, the NWA obtained by scanning the disk is replaced with the end address read from the specific area to read the file system, so as to recover the video data in the disk. Thereby, the video data in the disk can be protected.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display and a shift register device thereof are provided. The shift register device includes a plurality of shift registers connected in series. In the invention, the channel lengths of the transistors, which are responsible to stop outputting scan signal, in the shift register are manufactured greater than the channel lengths of the transistors, which are responsible to output the scan signal, in the shift register. As a result, the degree of influence that the leakage currents of the N-type transistors being responsible to stop outputting the scan signal in the shift register affect the transistors being responsible to output the scan signal when the transistors being responsible to stop outputting the scan signal are in the sub-threshold region is reduced. And thus each of the shift registers is able to output the scan signal normally.
