Abstract: A method of forming a via hole through a glass wafer includes depositing a material layer on an outer surface of the glass wafer, the material layer having a selection ratio higher than that of the glass wafer, forming a via-patterned portion on one side of the material layer, performing a first etching in which the via-patterned portion is etched to form a preliminary via hole, eliminating any remaining patterning material used in the formation of the via-patterned portion, performing a second etching in which the preliminary via hole is etched to form a via hole having a smooth surface and extending through the glass wafer, and eliminating the material layer. The method according to the present invention is able to form a via hole through a glass wafer without allowing formation of an undercut or minute cracks, thereby increasing the yield and reliability of MEMS elements.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for biosynthesizing the serotonin derivatives in plants, more particularly, a method for biosynthesizing the serotonin derivatives characterized by treating plants with inducers for serotonin derivative biosynthesis or by inducing over-expression of tyramine N-(hydroxy cinnamoyl)transferase in plants. The method of the present invention facilitates the production of serotonin derivatives such as feruloylserotonin and coumaroylserotonin that have activities of anticancer, anti-oxidation and promoting bone-formation. The serotonin derivatives prepared by the method above can be used either after being purified or as edible plants themselves.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for self-reconstructing system operating data in a mobile communication terminal is provided. The system operating data is stored in a hidden area of nonvolatile memory in the mobile communication terminal. The hidden area is read-only and its contents are periodically compared to the system operating data stored in an EFS area. If there is a difference, indicating the operating data in the EFS has changed, the original system operating data is copied from the hidden area. Thus, the reliability of the mobile communication terminal is improved and the integrity of the mobile communication terminal is maintained.

Abstract: Disclosed is an LCD device and a method for fabricating the same is disclosed, which maximizes light efficiency by compensating for light transmissivity resulting from the alignment of the liquid crystal in a plurality of alignment domains within a pixel region. Compensation is accomplished by a polarizing sheet having a plurality of polarizing regions corresponding to the alignment domains, wherein each polarizing region has a transmission angle that corresponds to the alignment angle of the corresponding domain so that light leakage in a black state can be minimized.

Abstract: A transflective LCD includes an upper substrate having a common electrode formed therein; a lower substrate spaced apart by a predetermined interval from the upper substrate and facing the upper substrate, the lower substrate having a pixel region including a switching region, a reflection part, and a transmission part, and including a delta film, a thin film transistor layer, a color filter layer and a reflector formed therein; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper substrate and the lower substrate; and a backlight assembly disposed below the lower substrate, for supplying light toward the lower substrate.

Abstract: An LCD includes a liquid crystal panel, first and second polarizing plates attached to opposing surfaces of the liquid crystal panel, a first front light unit over a front side of the liquid crystal panel, a second front light unit over a rear side of the liquid crystal panel, a first film disposed between the first polarizing plate and the first front light unit, for receiving a surrounding light and directing the surrounding light toward the rear side of the liquid crystal panel, and a diffusion sheet disposed between the second polarizing plate and the second front light unit.
