An image processing apparatus of a plasma display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises an inverse gamma correction unit that gamma-corrects an image signal through previous stored gamma data, a half-toning unit that adds an error diffusion error value (Ei) of neighboring pixels to a noise value (n(i, j)) of a predetermined pattern and diffuses the added result into the inverse gamma corrected image signal, and a sub-field mapping unit that maps the half-toned image signal to a sub-field mapping table.

Abstract: Provided is a process which includes slowly adding dropwise chilled distilled water to titanium tetrachloride to prepare solution of titanium oxychloride; adding basic solution thereto to maintain pH of the titanium oxychloride solution within a range from 3.5 to 4, thereby providing a suspension of titanium oxyhydroxide precipitate; adding basic solution thereto to adjust the suspension of titanium oxyhydroxide precipitate to be weakly basic, and heating and stirring the mixture at 80 to 100° C.; isolating and collecting dihydroxy-oxotitanium from the heated and stirred suspension of titanium oxyhydroxide precipitate, and washing it with weakly basic aqueous solution; and adding distilled water and 20 to 500 folds of hydrogen peroxide on the basis of 1 mole of Ti4+ in titanium oxyhydroxide to the washed titanium oxyhydroxide, and heat-treating the mixture at a temperature of 90 to 100° C. for 1 to 7 days to prepare titania nanorods having the mean length of 100 nm to 300 nm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a plasma display panel, and more particularly, to a method of displaying the gray scale in a plasma display panel. According to the present invention, a method of displaying gray scales in a plasma display panel having an inverse gamma correction unit that operates using gamma tables includes the steps of allowing the inverse gamma correction unit to match picture signals, which corresponds to an n number of frames (n is a natural number) respectively, to an n number of previously stored gamma tables, allowing the inverse gamma correction unit to perform an inverse gamma process on the picture signals received according to the matched gamma tables to produce real gray scales every frame, and allowing the inverse gamma correction unit to divide the real gray scales every frame by n and then to produce last real gray scales. More fine gray scales can be represented by extending the number of real gray scales. It is thus possible to remove noise and provide a much smooth image.

Abstract: A driving device of a plasma display panel and a method of driving the plasma display panel are disclosed. A method of driving a plasma display panel receiving a video signal and displaying an image on the screen includes performing an inverse-gamma correction process on the video signal, calculating an occupation proportion of a maximum gray level of the video signal in a histogram of the video signal using location information of an object displayed on the screen, calculating a motion proportion of the video signal, and calculating an average picture level (APL) of the video signal.

Abstract: In a gas supplying apparatus used to form a layer on a substrate, a liquid reactant is introduced into an atomizer through a liquid mass flow controller and an on-off valve. An aerosol mist formed by the atomizer is introduced into a vaporizer and then vaporized. The on-off valve is coupled with the atomizer and controlled by a valve controller of the liquid mass flow controller. The on-off valve is opened to form the layer and closed during downtime of a layer formation apparatus to prevent leakage of the remaining liquid reactant in a connecting conduit between the liquid mass flow controller and the on-off valve.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a similar speaker recognition method and system using nonlinear analysis. The recognition method extracts a nonlinear feature of a sound signal through nonlinear analysis of the sound signal and combines the nonlinear feature with a linear feature such as spectrum. The method transforms sound data in a time domain into status vectors in a phase domain and uses a nonlinear time series analysis method capable of representing nonlinear features of the status vectors to extract nonlinear information of a sound. The method can overcome technical limitations of conventional linear algorithms. The recognition method can be applied to sound-related application systems other than speaker recognition systems.
