Abstract: A display device that includes a data modulator for comparing input data of m (m is a natural number of not less than 2) number of frames and inserts any one of black data and gray data in accordance with the comparison result and a driving method thereof are provided.

Abstract: A refrigerator and a control method thereof in which a plurality of storage compartments are cooled based on their cooling priorities, which are determined in accordance with a set temperature or thermal load of each storage compartment, whereby the storage compartments can maintain high humidity.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes: a first substrate and a second substrate; a gate line and a data line on the first substrate that cross each other to define a pixel region; a pixel electrode in the pixel region; a thin film transistor at the crossing of the gate and data lines, and connected to the pixel electrode; at least one first electric field distortion unit in the pixel electrode to control a liquid crystal director by electric field distortion; a second electric field distortion unit between the pixel electrode and the first substrate; and a layer of liquid crystal molecules between the first and second substrates

Abstract: An in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display device includes first and second substrates facing each other, a gate line and a data line arranged on the first substrate crossing each other and defining a pixel region, a switching device at a crossing of the gate line and the data line, a common electrode and a pixel electrode alternately disposed in the pixel region, at least one of the common electrode and the pixel electrode including a multi-layer having a conductor layer and a reflectance reducing layer, and a liquid crystal layer formed between the first and second substrates.

Abstract: The invention relates to root-specific expansin gene to regulating root growth and obstacle-touching stress resistance in the plant, and more particularly to a root growth regulating gene, GmEXP1, isolated from soybean (Glycine max), an expansin polypeptide encoded by the gene and a method for enhancing root growth of plants by overexpression of the gene in the plants.

Abstract: An IPS (In-Plane Switching) mode LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) includes first and second substrates facing each other; a plurality of gate lines and data lines arranged in a matrix configuration on the first substrate and defining a plurality of pixel regions; at least one common electrode and one pixel electrode alternatingly disposed at the pixel region to generate a horizontal electric field, at least one of them having a structure of a dual layer; and a liquid crystal layer formed between the first and second substrates.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gene controlling the flowering time of plants, and a method for manipulating the flowering time of plants using the gene. More particularly, the present invention relates to a LOV1 gene controlling the flowering time of plants, which is isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana, and also to a method for either delaying the flowering time of plants by overexpressing the LOV1 gene in the plants, or inducing the early flowering of the plants by repressing the expression of the LOV1 gene in the plants.
