  • Publication number: 20070187741
    Abstract: In a thin film transistor substrate, a method of manufacturing the same, and a display apparatus having the same, a thin film transistor, a gate member, and a storage member are formed on an insulating substrate. The gate member has a gate line and a gate electrode electrically connected to the gate line, and the storage member has a storage line, a first storage electrode, and a second storage electrode. A data member is formed on an active layer. The data member includes a data line crossing the gate line, a third storage electrode overlapped with the first storage electrode and a fourth storage electrode overlapped with the second storage electrode. Thus, a capacitance variation of a storage capacitor may be prevented, thereby improving display quality of a display apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20070145374
    Abstract: A thin film transistor substrate includes a base substrate, a gate electrode, a gate insulating layer, a surface treating layer, an active layer, a source electrode and a drain electrode. The gate electrode is formed on the base substrate. The gate insulating layer is formed on the base substrate to cover the gate electrode. The surface treating layer is formed on the gate insulating layer by treating the gate insulating layer with a nitrogen-containing gas to prevent leakage current. The active layer is formed on the surface treating layer to cover the gate electrode. The source electrode and the gate electrode that are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance are formed on the active layer.

  • Publication number: 20060048530
    Abstract: In an operation control apparatus and a method thereof, the compressor can be protected from overloading through a current control device instead of an OLP (Over Load Protector) and a PTC thermistor (Positive Temperature Coefficient thermistor). The operation control apparatus includes: a stroke estimated unit for estimating a stroke of the compressor on the basis of a current and a voltage applied to an interior motor of the compressor and a motor constant of the interior motor; a control unit for generating a control signal for varying a stroke of the compressor on the basis of the estimated stroke value and a preset stroke reference value; and a current control means being turned on/off so as to vary a stroke voltage applied to the interior motor of the compressor.
