Abstract: A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display with reduced contact resistance is provided. The method comprises the steps of: depositing a buffer layer on a gate layer; and performing a thermal process to diffuse metal atoms of the buffer layer on the upper part of the gate, thereby forming a diffusion layer.

Abstract: A received television program is blocked out when a rating of the program is not within a scope of a preset rating. A rating signal is extracted from a video signal of the television program, and the rating signal is decoded to detect the rating of the program. The rating of the program is compared with the preset rating and an automatic frequency control (AFC) circuit is forced into an inoperative state to block out an output of the received television program when the comparison shows that the rating of the detected program is not within the scope of the preset rating. Accordingly, the blocking-out function against improper programs can be achieved by detecting the rating of the received program and by making the AFC circuit inoperative.
