The base includes a front surface and a rear surface facing the front surface. The prism mountains are integrally formed with the base on the rear surface of the base. At least one prism mountain includes a plurality of light incidence surfaces and a reflective surface. The light incidence surfaces receive light. The reflective surface is adjacent to one of the light incidence surfaces to reflect the light.

Abstract: A signal transfer member for a liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus includes a power line for receiving power from an external source and for driving a semiconductor chip disposed on the transfer member or the display apparatus. The power line is bent so as to incorporate a serpentine structure, which enables the length of the power line to be easily adjusted and results in the line being longer than a power line formed with a relatively straight structure. Accordingly, the length of the power line can be adjusted to take into account the respective impedances of the chip and the external source so as to suppress electromagnetic waves in the power line. This prevents the creation of noise, distortion of signals, damage to the semiconductor chip, and disconnection of the input interconnection thereof that are caused by the electromagnetic waves, so that product yields are thereby improved.

Abstract: A light guide plate includes an incident surface receiving incident light from a light source, an exit section that outputs exit light having a light distribution different from a light distribution of the incident light and a reflective section opposite to the exit section. A plurality of first patterns are formed on the exit section while being arranged in a first direction of the exit section to distribute the exit light with maximum brightness in a direction perpendicular to the exit section. A plurality of second patterns are formed on the reflective section to scatter the incident light.

Abstract: A handoff method in a communication system where BSs providing different radio access interfaces to an MS are connected to an IP-based network through routers. A handoff from a first BS to a second BS is decided for an MS that receives IP service data from the first BS and an L2 connection is established between the MS and the second BS. During the L2 connection establishment, movement of the MS in the IP network is detected. Handoff negotiations are conducted between the first and second BSs by IP signaling. If the handoff is available according to the negotiations, mobility management control is performed considering movement of the MS. The IP service data is transmitted to the MS in a network path reset to the second BS by the mobility management control and an L2 connection is released between the MS and the first BS.

Abstract: A substrate includes an array area and a data pad area adjacent to the array area. A gate line, a data line and a switching device are formed in the array area of the substrate. A data pad extending from an end of the data line and a supporter provided between the substrate and the data pad are provided in a data pad area to allow the data pad to be placed at a higher position than a passivation layer. Thus, a contact resistance occurring between an anisotropic conductive film and a bump and a contact resistance occurring between the anisotropic conductive film and the data pad are reduced.

Abstract: In a display apparatus according to an embodiment, a variable diffuser film is disposed between a backlight unit generating light and a display panel displaying an image. The variable diffuser film transmits or scatters the light from the backlight unit in response to an electrical signal to control a viewing angle.
