  • Publication number: 20040207995
    Abstract: Disclosed is a light unit used for backlighting a display device such as an LCD panel, which emits perpendicularly-directed white surface light by using lateral monochromatic light. The light unit of the invention comprises: a monochromatic light source for emitting monochromatic light; a light guide plate placed at the side of the monochromatic light source, and having a hologram pattern formed on at least one of front and rear faces oriented perpendicular to incident light introduced from the monochromatic light source for emitting light in a direction substantially perpendicular to the incidence direction of light; and a fluorescent layer applied on the front face of the light guide plate for converting perpendicularly-directed emitted light into white light.

  • Patent number: 6710936
    Abstract: An image sensor module with a zooming function is disclosed. The sensor module consists of first and second barrels for respectively holding condensing lenses used for image capture, and a housing having a guide channel at a sidewall thereof and movably and stably receiving the first extensions of the first and second barrels in the guide channel such that the first and second barrels are moved along a focusing axis of the condensing lenses. The sensor module also has a motor for generating a rotating force, a motor gear formed on the output shaft of the motor, and a means for controlling the interval between the first and second barrels by converting a rotating action of the motor gear into a linear movement of the first and second barrels in a horizontal direction. In the sensor module used in a variety of electronic apparatuses, the condensing lenses are movable to change their positions, thus accomplishing a zooming effect while precisely condensing light beams to produce clear images.

  • Patent number: 6555269
    Abstract: Disclosed is a positive active material for a rechargeable lithium battery and a method of preparing the same. The positive active material includes a LiCoO2 core and a metal selected from a group consisting of Al, Mg, Sn, Ca, Ti, Mn and mixtures thereof. The metal has a concentration gradient from a surface of the core to a center of the core. The method of preparing a positive active material for a rechargeable lithium battery includes the steps of dissolving a metal compound in alcohol to prepare a metal compound solution in a sol state, coating LiCoO2 with the metal compound solution in the sol state and sintering the coated LiCoO2 at 150 to 500° C.

  • Patent number: 5965292
    Abstract: A battery terminal case includes an outer case into which a battery is inserted such that an anode and a portion of a cathode can of a battery can be enclosed; a cathode terminal extension member inserted into and nested inside the outer case and contacting the portion of the cathode can; and an anode terminal extension member inserted into the inside of the cathode terminal extension member and contacting the anode of the battery. Accordingly, by using the anode and cathode terminal extension members respectively contacting the anode and the cathode of the battery, damage to the battery itself can be prevented since welding is not necessary during the manufacturing of a battery pack, and contact defects between the battery and the terminal in the conventional terminal case, occurring as the elastic force of the terminal weakens, can be prevented.
