Abstract: An image processing method includes: determining a source transmission map based on a dark channel map of an input image; determining transformed transmission maps by applying different filters to the determined source transmission map; generating haze-free images by removing haze from the input image based respectively on the determined transformed transmission maps; and generating an output image by blending the generated haze-free images.

Abstract: Disclosed are a coating structure including an antibacterial layer formed between an article as a coating object and an anti-fingerprint coating layer to improve durability, reliability and corrosion resistance of the anti-fingerprint coating layer and provide antibacterial properties and a method for forming the same. Disclosed is a coating structure formed on a surface of an article including an antibacterial layer formed on the surface of the article, and an anti-fingerprint coating layer formed on the antibacterial layer.

Abstract: A method of forming a patterned polymer layer on a substrate is provided. The method of forming a patterned polymer layer on a substrate includes forming a coating of a photo-curable composition on a substrate, imprinting the coating by embedding a stamper having a predetermined pattern in the photo-curable composition, irradiating the coating with light to cure the photo-curable composition, while the stamper is embedded in the coating, and separating the stamper from the coating on the substrate.

Abstract: A method of downloading a main code to a flash memory is provided. The method includes: comparing the size of the buffer with the size of the flash memory and determining a number of stages or segments in which the main code is to be downloaded to the flash memory based on the comparison results; obtaining a plurality of sub-main codes by dividing the main code by the determined number; generating a plurality of flash loader codes corresponding to the sub-main codes; and downloading the sub-main codes to the flash memory using the flash loader codes. Accordingly, it is possible to use the entire storage capacity of the flash memory even when the flash memory size is not smaller than the buffer size.

Abstract: A photo-curable composition includes 100 parts by weight of a urethane-polydimethylsiloxane copolymerization prepolymer formed by a reaction of a polyol having two or more hydroxyl groups in a molecule thereof, a reactive polydimethylsiloxane having at least one reactive group selected from the group consisting of an amino group, an epoxy group, a carboxy group, a hydroxy group, a halogen atom, a thiol group, and (meth)acrylate, in the side chain or terminal group thereof, and an aliphatic or aromatic polyisocyanate compound; 10-80 parts by weight of (meth)acrylate-based monomer having a functionality of 4 or less, based on 100 parts by weight of the urethane-polydimethylsiloxane copolymerization prepolymer; and 0.1-10 parts by weight of a photoinitiator, based on 100 parts by weight of the urethane-polydimethylsiloxane copolymerization prepolymer. The photo-curable composition has an inherently excellent releasing property and a pattern transfer property.
