Abstract: A plurality of scan lines and gate electrodes are formed on a pixel array area of a substrate, and a plurality of bottom pad electrodes are formed on a gate and a source pad area of the substrate. An insulating layer and a plurality of active layers are formed on the substrate. A plurality of signal lines, source/drain electrodes are formed on the pixel array area, and a plurality of top pad electrodes are formed on the gate and the source pad area. A circuit testing process is performed. A passivation layer having via holes is formed on the pixel array area, and a plurality of contact holes are formed in the gate and the source pad area. A patterned transparent conductive layer filling the via holes and the contact holes is formed on the substrate.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for selecting wide area network resources, such as resources identified by URL values, using a rotary knob for user input. A client device having a display and a rotary knob is used for accessing network resources via a public network using an application program, such as a browser application. Rotation of the knob is detected by the client device, which adjusts the contents of a previewing window according to the rotation of the knob. The previewing window identifies graphics corresponding to predefined network resources and the graphics are output in a preview area of the display on the client device. As the user rotates the knob, the graphics for the network resources in the preview window are scrolled through the preview area of the display under control of the knob. The preview area includes a selection frame for selecting a network resource.

Abstract: A keyboard mounting apparatus and method for stowing a keyboard on a sub-compact, computer-based information appliance. In particular, the apparatus includes an extending portion located at the rear of the appliance housing and a corresponding interlocking portion located on the keyboard which allows a user to easily stow and retrieve the keyboard from the housing of the appliance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing gas separation membranes or modules. Membrane forming material is cast into a wet membrane which is wound into a spiral module. The spiral module is arranged in a closed circulating apparatus. Exchanging solvents or treating solutions are circulated through the circulating apparatus and the spiral module for an appropriate period of time. The module and circulating apparatus are purged until the membrane is dry, thus producing a gas separation membrane or module.
