Abstract: Provided are a low-voltage image sensor and a method of driving a transfer transistor thereof, which are obtained by changing the structure and driving method of a typical transfer transistor of a 4-transistor CMOS transistor, and can eliminate the influence of a voltage or physical structure of a diffusion node on a reset or transfer operation of a photodiode. The image sensor includes a light receiving device for detecting light and a signal conversion unit for reading photocharge generated by the light receiving device to an external circuit. The signal conversion unit includes a transfer transistor including at least two gate electrodes. When the photocharge is transferred to a channel of a transfer gate electrode disposed closest to a photodiode, a transfer gate electrode disposed adjacent to a diffusion node remains turned off.

The electrophoretic display includes an lower electrode formed on an under layer, an lower electrode protection layer formed on the lower electrode, an insulating template formed on the lower electrode protection layer and having a plurality of holes of smaller size than the wavelength of visible rays region, a dielectric fluid filling the holes and having a color, a plurality of charged particles suspended in the dielectric fluid filling each of the plurality of holes having a color different from the color of the dielectric fluid, and an upper electrode formed on the insulating template in sequential order. Accordingly, a problem of agglomeration of the charged particles can be solved by the insulating template having holes of smaller size than the wavelength of visible rays region, and thus a reliable electrophoretic display emitting light of one color or natural colors is achieved.

Abstract: Provided are a low-noise image sensor capable of improving the efficiency of charge transfer from a photodiode to a diffusion node region and effectively suppressing the generation of dark current, and a transistor for the image sensor. The image sensor includes: a photosensitive pixel having a transfer transistor formed in a structure which causes hole accumulation in a part or all regions of a gate oxide; and a sensing control part applying a negative offset potential to the gate during a part or whole of a turn-off period of the transfer transistor. When the transfer transistor is off, the image sensor may form a sufficient barrier and accumulate electrons in the photodiode, and when the transistor is on, the sensor sufficiently lowers a barrier, fully depletes the photodiode before the transfer transistor reaches a threshold voltage, and inactivates a trap in a predetermined region for a certain time, and thus the dark current can be reduced.

Abstract: Provided is a 4-transistor CMOS image in which a driving condition or a pixel structure is changed so that a transfer transistor in a pixel operates in a pinch-off condition during reset and transfer operations in order to reduce dark current and fixed-pattern noise caused by a change in an operation condition of the transfer transistor and inter-pixel characteristic discrepancy. The image sensor includes a photosensitive pixel including a transfer transistor for transferring photon-induced charges created in a photodiode; and a voltage control unit for controlling a turn-on voltage applied to a gate of the transfer transistor to be lower than a floating diffusion node voltage plus the threshold voltage of the transfer transistor during a partial or entire section of a turn-on section of the transfer transistor such that the transfer transistor operates in a pseudo pinch-off mode.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for managing playlists of a rewritable recording medium in order to prevent unlimited playback or illegal edition of television broadcast programs or movies wherein copyright protection is required. The present invention operates by adding information needed for automatic timed deletion of consecutively recorded clips of A/V streams and deletion time information into the playlists of a recording medium such as a high density rewritable optical disc (BD-RW), whereby referring to the recorded information, the corresponding clips of A/V streams are automatically deleted.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for aligning polymer network liquid crystal. In the method, alignment of liquid crystal in a bulk state is controlled by means of an orientation power of polymer material itself which is formed by irradiating linearly polarized ultraviolet rays to monomer material having an orientation power, thereby achieving a transparent state at an initial state without an orientation layer. That is, Linearly polarized ultraviolet rays are irradiated to ultraviolet-hardening type monomers having an orientation power. Alignment of liquid crystal of a bulk state is controlled while the monomers are changed to polymers, thereby achieving an initial transparent state. The molecules of the liquid crystal are placed in disorder by a vertical electric field and the horizontal orientation power of a polymer chain.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a quantum dot phosphor for light emitting diodes, which includes quantum dots and a solid substrate on which the quantum dots are supported. Also, a method of preparing the quantum dot phosphor is provided. Since the quantum dot phosphor of the current invention is composed of the quantum dots supported on the solid substrate, the quantum dots do not aggregate when dispensing a paste obtained by mixing the quantum dots with a paste resin for use in packaging of a light emitting diode. Thereby, a light emitting diode able to maintain excellent light emitting efficiency can be manufactured.
