  • Patent number: 8284338
    Abstract: A mask is provided. The mask includes a mask body, a first exposing part and a second exposing part. The first exposing part is on the mask body. The first exposing part includes a first light transmitting portion and second light transmitting portions. The first light transmitting portion exposes a portion of the photoresist film corresponding to the output terminal to a light of a first light amount. The second light transmitting portions exposes an adjacent portion of the photoresist film adjacent to the output terminal to a light of a second light amount smaller than the first light amount. The second exposing part is on the mask body. The second exposing part includes third light transmitting portions for partially exposing the photoresist film corresponding to the storage electrode to a light of a third light amount that is between the first and second light amounts.

  • Patent number: 8102475
    Abstract: A television system comprises a display panel holder for detachably holding a display panel for displaying images, and a signal processing module for receiving and processing signals containing displayable information from various external sources and supplying the signals to the display panel. The system enables the size of the display screen of an existing TV set to be easily increased in a cost-effective manner, thereby preventing a waste of resources.

  • Patent number: 7923176
    Abstract: A mask includes a transparent substrate, a light-blocking layer and a halftone layer. The light-blocking layer includes a source electrode pattern portion including a first electrode portion, a second electrode portion and a third electrode portion, and a drain electrode pattern portion disposed between the second electrode portion and the third electrode portion. The halftone layer includes a halftone portion corresponding to a spaced-apart portion between the source electrode pattern portion and the drain electrode pattern portion, and a dummy halftone portion more protrusive than ends of the second electrode portion and the third electrode portion. Thus, a photoresist pattern corresponding to a channel portion of a thin film transistor (TFT) may be formed with a uniform thickness, to thereby prevent an excessive etching of the channel portion.

  • Patent number: 7393159
    Abstract: An inline transfer system and method are provided for the secure transport and efficient processing of substrates such as glass substrates or semiconductor devices. A rotary conveyor is provided that includes a plurality of air nozzles which inject air to move a substrate above the plurality of air nozzles without the plurality of air nozzles making contact with the substrate. At least two independent processing units are operably coupled to the rotary conveyor. Advantageously, because a plurality of substrates may be processed in parallel, greater efficiency and flexibility are provided. Because the substrate can be moved without physical contact between the structure of the air nozzles and the substrate, the transfer is secure, clean, and efficient.

  • Publication number: 20060078408
    Abstract: An air current generated at a movement road does not flow into a shelf while a crane moves along the movement road since a system for manufacturing a flat display panel includes: a shelf positioned to both sides of a movement road, and accommodating a cassette; and a crane, moving along the movement road, transferring the cassette to the shelf and extracting the cassette therefrom; and a blocking pate mounted to both side portions of the crane so as to prevent air current from flowing into the crane.
