Abstract: Disclosed are an inter-prediction method and an image decoding apparatus using the same. According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an inter-prediction method including extracting a merge candidate flag and offset information from a bitstream, selecting a merge candidate corresponding to the extracted merge candidate flag from a merge candidate list including neighboring blocks of a current block as merge candidates, deciding a motion vector of the current block by applying the offset information to a motion vector of the selected merge candidate, and generating, as a prediction block of the current block, a block indicated by the motion vector of the current block in a reference picture referenced by the selected merge candidate.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for reconstructing a current block in units of sub-blocks included in the current block. The method includes: decoding transform coefficients in a transform block of the current block, sub-block information indicating a division form of the sub-blocks and transform type information indicating a transform type applied to the transform block from a bitstream; deriving a residual block of the current block from the transform coefficients on the basis of the transform type indicated by the transform type information and the sub-block information; and filtering boundaries of the sub-blocks in a reconstructed block of the current block derived on the basis of the residual block.

Abstract: Disclosed is an intelligent display board capable of increasing visibility by responding to external environmental factors in real time. The intelligent display board aims to improve a displayed image by minimizing differences in the characteristics of a display element (LED) according to the influence of external sunlight and artificial lighting and temperature. The white color of the display board is moved to be closed to a reference if deviating the reference so that low-level colors that are ignored by sunlight, etc. are darkened and the variance of recognizable colors is increased to make it easy to distinguish, thereby increasing the visibility of the display board. In addition, luminance varying according to temperature is adjusted to compensate for and adjust an image while automatically being applicable to a surrounding environment even with respect to temperature, thereby increasing the quality of an image displayed on the display board.

Abstract: Disclosed is a laminated thin film battery which is capable of exhibiting a high capacity and does not require a separate barrier to be formed on a surface after lamination. A first thin film battery and a second thin film battery, in which cathode current collectors and anode current collectors are formed on first surfaces, are laminated in such a type that the respective first surfaces face each other. The cathode current collectors of the first thin film battery and the second thin film battery are electrically connected to a cathode terminal, and the anode current collectors of the first thin film battery and the second thin film battery are electrically connected to an anode terminal.

Abstract: Disclosed are a thin film battery in which a negative electrode active material and a substrate side react with each other to prevent battery performance from deteriorating, and to a method for manufacturing same. The thin film battery according to the present invention has a structure in which a negative electrode active material contacts a substrate. Here, a first surface treatment layer containing the negative electrode active material and a non-reactive material are disposed on at least the portion where the negative electrode active material contacts the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of modifying the surface of an ITO (Indium Tin Oxide; In2O3—SnO2) film using new organic material to increase the properties of the ITO film. A method of forming a self-assembled monolayer on an ITO film to increase the work function of an ITO film for use in the transparent electrode of a display device and an ITO film having a self-assembled monolayer, manufactured using the above method, are provided. The ITO film having the self-assembled monolayer has an increased work function, and thus holes can be efficiently injected from the ITO to an organic layer. Thereby, ohmic contact between the organic layer and the electrode is realized, consequently improving the electrical properties of organic electronic devices.
