Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for pipelining memory operations with error correction coding are disclosed. A method for pipelining consecutive write mask operations is disclosed wherein a second read operation of a second write mask operation occurs during error correction code calculation of a first write mask operation. The method may further including writing data from the first write mask operation during the error correction code calculation of the second write mask operation. A method for pipelining consecutive operations is disclosed where a first read operation may be cancelled if the first operation is not a write mask operation. An apparatus including a memory having separate global read and write input-output lines is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention is related to an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) with a back light source characterized by light source local penetration. There is a reflective layer on the bottom of the LCD. The reflective layer contains some light channels. A micro lens-film is placed between the LCD and the back light source. The micro lens-film contains some light collection sections in such a way that individual light collection sections are opposite individual light channels. The invention has two merits. Firstly, the reflective layer reflects incident daylight greatly so as to help illuminate the LCD. Secondly, the light emitted by the back light source is condensed by the light collection sections before passing through the light channels, so that it helps illuminate the LCD. Not only is the LCD illuminated better, but the images it shows also have better contrast under daylight. Hence, the images displayed on the LCD screens are greatly improved.
