Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical element capable of simultaneously outputting sound from the surface of a display device with an image, the optical element comprising: a first electrode member; a first dielectric elastomer layer disposed on the first electrode member; a second electrode member disposed on the first dielectric elastomer layer; and an optical crystal layer disposed on the second electrode member. Accordingly, in the present invention, image and sound are implemented simultaneously, and thus, it is possible to prevent defects due to mismatching of the image and the sound, and a separate sound system is not required when the display device is manufactured using the optical element, thereby making it possible to reduce components of an electronic product including the display device and reduce the manufacturing cost.

Abstract: An image signal processor and an image signal processing method are disclosed. The image signal processor includes a stripe pattern determiner configured to calculate a gradient index for each of a plurality of directions in a target kernel and determine whether the target kernel corresponds to a stripe pattern based on the gradient index for each of the plurality of directions, a pattern direction determiner configured to determine a pattern direction of the target kernel when the target kernel corresponds to the stripe pattern, and a demosaicing component configured to perform an interpolation operation based on the pattern direction of the target kernel.

Abstract: An image processing device, and a pixel interpolation method, includes a preprocessor configured to generate a region of interest having a preset size based on pixel values received from an image sensor including white pixels and configured to determine an interpolation direction in the region of interest. The image processing device and interpolation method also includes a pixel interpolator configured to determine a second target pixel corresponding to the interpolation direction based on a first target pixel included in the region of interest and configured to calculate an interpolated white pixel value of the first target pixel based on a ratio of pixel values of adjacent white pixels adjacent to the first target pixel and the second target pixel to pixel values corresponding to a color of the first target pixel.

Abstract: A plant cultivation system. The system utilizes a trolley conveyor for transport of plants in plant containers. The trolley conveyor uses straight runs of track connected by curved track portions. The straight runs of track of the trolley conveyor are spaced closely together. The trolley conveyor is used to move plant containers to a workshop for planting, fertilization, watering, cultivation, and harvesting of plants or portions thereof, and for packaging of plants or portions thereof for shipment.

Abstract: A plant cultivation system for a plant factory that cultivates plants. The plant factory has a building with roof and walls, which may be in the form of a greenhouse with a roof and windows that may be opened and closed. A plant factory using the plant cultivation system cultivates plants for harvest and/or sale. The plant factory plant utilizes a trolley conveyor for transport of plants in plant containers. The trolley conveyor uses straight runs of track connected by curved track portions. The straight runs of track of the trolley conveyor are spaced closely together with space only provided for passage of plant containers in a side by side fashion, as no room for workers is necessary. The plant containers take the plant containers to workers in a workshop for planting, cultivation, harvesting of plants or portions thereof, and packaging of plants or portions thereof for shipment. As a result, labor is minimized, and the productivity of the plant factory is increased.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel YlMPO1 gene which plays an important role in mannosylphosphorylation of an industrial yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, and to a method for preparing a host system capable of producing recombinant glycoproteins free of mannosylphosphate by disruption of the gene. The mannosylphosphorylation is suppressed by the disruption of YlMPO1 gene according to the present invention, thereby achieving humanization of glycosylation pathway of Yarrowia lipolytica.
