Furthermore, the folding-type directional speaker array module has high mobility and portability because the side speaker modules are folded and stored when the folding-type directional speaker array module is not used.

Abstract: Provided are a structure and operating method of a semiconductor gas sensor having low power consumption. The semiconductor gas sensor is adapted to adsorb gas to a low-dimensional semiconductor nanomaterial at room temperature, output a change in resistance of the low-dimensional semiconductor nanomaterial, apply power to a heater, desorb the gas adsorbed to the low-dimensional semiconductor nanomaterial, and return the resistance of the low-dimensional semiconductor nanomaterial back to initial resistance. The semiconductor gas sensor senses the gas at room temperature using the low-dimensional semiconductor nanomaterial having a high-sensitivity characteristic at room temperature, and drives the heater only when the adsorbed gas is desorbed. Thereby, it is possible to improve a gas sensing characteristic, reduce power consumption, and provide a rapid response speed.
