Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel includes: substrates arranged opposite to each other with a liquid crystal layer therebetween. One of the substrates includes scanning and signal lines arranged in a matrix in a display area, a common wiring line along a peripheral edge portion of the display area, an interlayer resin film at least over the whole display area, and lower and upper electrodes arranged opposite to each other with an inter-electrode insulating film therebetween. The upper electrode includes slits in each pixel area sectioned by the scanning and signal lines. One of the upper and lower electrodes is formed over the whole display area and connected to the common wiring line and operates as a common electrode. In the display area, a common line is formed in parallel to the scanning line, the electrode operating as the common electrode is connected to the common line through a contact hole and the common line is connected to the common wiring line at the peripheral edge portion.

Abstract: A method of using pilot signals in a wireless communication network including encoding pilot signals, and transmitting the encoded pilot signals over an in-band backhaul link between two nodes in the network. Preferably, the pilot signals are encoded with a CDMA codeword associated with a link. The pilot signals can be decoded to permit estimation of a channel and interference attributable to each link.
