  • Publication number: 20130044507
    Abstract: A backlight unit includes a light guide plate and a light source unit. The light guide plate includes an exit surface which has a polygonal shape, a lower surface which faces the exit surface, and side surfaces which connect the exit surface and the lower surface. The light guide plate guides a light such that that light exits from the exit surface. The light source unit includes a plurality of light sources which provide the light to the light guide plate. The light guide plate includes a protrusion which protrudes from an end of the lower surface in a direction opposite to the exit surface. The protrusion includes a first inclination surface which is connected to one of the side surfaces, and a second inclination surface which connects the first inclination surface and the lower surface to each other.

  • Patent number: 8069000
    Abstract: An aging status diagnostic apparatus for a power conversion system and diagnosing method thereof are provided. The apparatus includes an output current sensing means detecting output current of an inverter switching module; and a measurement and diagnosis means receiving the output current, calculating one or more average values of the output current over one period, and magnitude or effective value of each harmonic of the output current, and determining whether aging of the inverter switching module has occurred. Furthermore, the measurement and diagnosis means determines that the aging of the inverter switching module has occurred if the average value of the output current over one period increases by a value equal to or greater than a predetermined range and/or an even order harmonic or a specific order harmonic based on FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) of the output current increases by a value equal to or greater than a predetermined range.
