Abstract: A method of forming a carbon nanotube whereby the carbon nanotube has a fine diameter. To form the carbon nanotube, a polyimide layer is formed on an electrode deposited on a substrate. A plurality of protrusions are formed on the electrode by etching the polyimide layer and the surface of the electrode. A catalyst layer is formed on the surface of the electrode between the protrusions. The carbon nanotube on the catalyst layer is grown. The carbon nanotubes have fine diameters so that the use of the carbon nanotube in a device may reduce the operating voltage and can improve a field emission characteristic of the device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for providing handover of a mobile node in a wireless network supporting Mobile IP (Internet Protocol). The mobile node sends, when handover is needed, a request for neighbor access router information to a first access router currently communicating with the mobile node, and selects, if the neighbor access router information is received, a second access router serving as a target access router using the received neighbor access router information. The first access router exchanges access router information with a neighbor access router, provides neighbor access router information to the mobile node upon receiving the neighbor access router information request from the mobile node, and redirects data to be delivered to the mobile node to the second access router to which the mobile node will be handed over. The second access router forwards data to be delivered to the mobile node, received from the first access router, to the corresponding mobile node.

Abstract: A field emission backlight unit for a liquid crystal display (LCD) includes: a lower substrate; first electrodes and second electrodes alternately formed in parallel lines on the lower substrate; emitters disposed on at least the first electrodes; an upper substrate spaced apart from the lower substrate by a predetermined distance such that the upper and lower substrates face each other; a third electrode formed on a bottom surface of the upper substrate; and a fluorescent layer formed on the third electrode. Since the backlight unit has a triode-type field emission structure, field emission is very stable. Since the first electrodes and the second electrodes are formed in the same plane, brightness uniformity is improved and manufacturing processes are simplified.

Abstract: In a network system including at least one mobility anchor point (MAP) for managing mobility of a mobile node (MN) and a plurality of routers connected to the at least one MAP in a hierarchical structure, the MAP sends a MAP option to at least one router located on a higher level than the MAP. When receiving the MAP option, the router located on the higher level sends an updated MAP option to neighboring routers, after incrementing a predetermined upward value comprised in the MAP option. MAPs distributed in the network system can deliver MAP options regardless of the hierarchical structure of routers, and hence the MN can maximize its location privacy. Because the MAP performs MAP domain announcement using a DOMAIN option, service use of routers outside the MAP domain can be limited, and the number of times that a MAP is changed can be reduced.

Abstract: An electronic device having an electrode made of metal that reacts easily with carbon is provided. In the electronic device, the electrode on which carbon nanotubes are deposited by a chemical vapor deposition method using a reactant gas containing carbon and oxygen, is made of a metal generating less reaction enthalpy when reacting with carbon than when reacting with oxygen. Since the electrode is made of a metal which reacts with carbon faster than oxygen, a carbonized metal layer is formed on the electrode, thereby preventing the electrode from being oxidized. Accordingly, the carbon nanotubes can be easily deposited on the electrode.
