  • Patent number: 9946116
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device that prevents a color shift by allowing two sub-pixel areas to have the same transmittance. A liquid crystal display device according to the present invention includes a data line that includes: a connection portion having a direction of extension perpendicular to that of a gate line; a first portion oriented at a first angle with respect to a direction of extension of the connection portion; and a second portion oriented at a second angle different from the first angle with respect to the direction of extension of the connection portion, and wherein an angle between a rubbing direction of the liquid crystal and the connection portion satisfies ? L = ? 2 - ? 1 2 (where ?L is the angle between the rubbing direction of the liquid crystal and the direction of extension of the connection portion, ?1: the first angle, ?2: the second angle).

  • Patent number: 9311000
    Abstract: According to a method for displaying a keypad for a smart device of the present invention, a keypad can be displayed in a transparent or a translucent state by being overlapped with an output window displayed on a display module of a smart device such that both of an input window and the output window can be used over a wide area, and the transparency or color of the keypad periodically changes such that a user can check the keypad position which is displayed instantaneously, thereby enabling precise input operations without having to memorize all of the keypad positions and solving problems such as the confusion caused by overlapping the output window with the transparent keypad.

  • Publication number: 20120169984
    Abstract: A display substrate includes a gate line and a data line disposed on a base substrate. A switching element is connected to the gate line and the data line. A first pixel electrode is connected to the switching element, and a second pixel electrode is disposed on the first pixel electrode. The first pixel electrode includes first sub-electrodes that are separated by a first slit pattern. The second pixel electrode includes second sub-electrodes that are separated by a second slit pattern and extend across the first sub-electrodes. Therefore, a capacitance of a storage capacitor formed of overlapped portions of the first and second pixel electrodes is reduced, such that the charging rate of the storage capacitor is increased.

  • Publication number: 20070110922
    Abstract: A method of forming the alignment film includes placing an inorganic target and a substrate in a chamber so that the inorganic target and the substrate are parallel to each other, evacuating the chamber to a first pressure, supplying a discharge gas into the chamber and evacuating the chamber to a second pressure higher than the first pressure. Moreover, the method further includes depositing an inorganic film on the substrate by ejecting inorganic particles from the inorganic target.
