  • Patent number: 7488095
    Abstract: Disclosed is a prism sheet structure that can control optical coupling between contact surfaces of two prism sheets in a backlight unit. The prism sheet includes: a structural surface (14) having non-planar peaks (11) with maximum height and minimum height along a length direction thereof; and a curved layer (17) having the same cycle as a cycle of height variation of the peak. The curved layer is formed at a boundary surface (16) between the structural surface 14 and the flat surface to maintain the right-angled isosceles triangular prisms formed due to a difference between the highest point and the lowest point of each of the peaks to have a predetermined size, so that distance between the valleys (12) is uniform along the length direction. Although shapes of prisms are identical, the cycle of the peak height variation allows the moiré´ patterns to be suppressed or removed.

  • Publication number: 20070026286
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a direct methanol fuel cell having reduced methanol crossover, which comprises a layer of material for controlling the diffusion rate of fuel. More particularly, it relates to a direct methanol fuel cell in which the material for controlling the diffusion rate of fuel is interposed between an anode and a fuel reservoir or positioned within the fuel reservoir, and thus, the diffusion rate of methanol is reduced even when using high concentration methanol fuel, such that the injected methanol is completely reacted in a catalyst layer so as to fundamentally reduce unreacted methanol, thereby suppressing the methanol crossover phenomenon and exhibiting high power density. In the inventive direct methanol fuel cell, the diffusion rate of fuel is controlled using the fuel diffusion rate-controlling material so as to suppress the methanol crossover phenomenon, thereby increasing energy density and output density.

  • Patent number: 7094702
    Abstract: A layer-by-layer etching apparatus and an etching method using a neutral beam which enables to control etching depth to an atomic level by controlling the etching of each atom of a material layer to be etched under precise control of the supply of an etching gas and irradiation of the neutral beam and enables to minimize etching damage. In the layer-by-layer etching method, a substrate to be etched, on which a layer to be etched is exposed, is loaded on a stage in a reaction chamber. An etching gas is supplied into the reaction chamber to adsorb the etching gas on the surface of an exposed portion of the layer to be etched. Excessive etching gas remaining after being adsorbed is removed. A neutral beam is irradiated on the layer to be etched on which the etching gas is adsorbed. Etch by-products generated by the irradiation of the neutral beam is removed.
