  • Patent number: 7829179
    Abstract: A photoluminescent sheet is disclosed. In one embodiment, the photoluminescent sheet has a phosphor, absorbs some light, of at least one wavelength, of light emitted from a light source, emits particular light of a wavelength different from the wavelength of the emitted light and allows the remaining of the light emitted from the light source to penetrates the photoluminescent sheet, whereas the photoluminescent sheet comprises at least a surface comprising a wet preventing layer for minimizing a contracting area between the photoluminescent sheet and another sheet. According to at least one embodiment, wet is not generated on a screen even though the photoluminescent sheet is connected to other sheets.

  • Patent number: 7728916
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel. A drive circuit part is formed in the display panel. The drive circuit has a switching device with thin film transistors. The transistors commonly use one gate electrode and are connected in parallel. The switching device includes a gate electrode, a gate insulating film covering the gate electrode, a semiconductor pattern which overlaps the gate electrode with the gate insulating film therebetween, and source and drain electrodes which are formed on the semiconductor pattern and face each other. The source and drain electrodes, as well as a channel between the source and drain electrodes, are bent in the same direction.

  • Patent number: 7710525
    Abstract: A TFT that provides an efficient layout, a fabrication method thereof, an LCD device having the TFT, and a fabrication method thereof are provided. The TFT has a gate electrode and source/drain electrodes with an active layer interposed. The source electrodes and the drain electrodes are alternated in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction. Thus, the same source electrodes and the same drain electrodes are arranged in a diagonal direction. Source lines are connected with the source electrodes arranged in a diagonal direction and drain lines are connected with the drain electrodes arranged in a diagonal direction. Since a channel width is formed between the source electrode and adjacent drain electrodes, the channel width can be maximized within a limited area. Also, the source lines and the drain lines are arranged in a diagonal direction, so that an area use rate is maximized.
