Abstract:
Photodetector arrangements, designs and fabrication techniques are described related to semiconductor nanostructures. Arrangements and techniques are described which utilize a nano-patterned template for growing semiconductor nanostructures and/or heterostructures. Resulting photodetectors are also described.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for supporting prototype development of an embedded system are provided. The apparatus includes: a requirements analysis unit analyzing information about requirements and use cases of the embedded system which are input by a user to create a use case analysis table; an architecture design unit analyzing at least one of software and hardware structures of the embedded system which are input by the user and constituents of each of the software and hardware structures to create a structure graph for system, and reflecting the created structure graph for system in the use case analysis table created by the requirements analysis unit to update the use case analysis table; an architecture behavior definition unit defining behavior information including an execution flow and call relationship between the constituents defined by the architecture design unit; an integrated implementation unit creating a code so that the constituents defined by the architecture design unit operate according to the behavior information defined by the architecture behavior definition unit, and implementing the system while checking whether or not a function of each constituent is executed; and a test unit testing function and performance of the implemented system. Thereby, the system development based on the design mixing the hardware and software can divide changes and corrections that can take place during the development process at a high level of a development initial step, so that the system can be constructed from the ground up.
Abstract:
A device and method for providing an optical guide of a pixel to guide incoming light to/from a photo-conversion device of the pixel to improve the optical crosstalk immunity. The optical guide includes an optically reflecting barrier formed as a trench filled with a material which produces reflection. The trench fill material may have an index of refraction that is less than the index of refraction of the material used for the trench surrounding layers to provide a light reflective structure or the trench fill material may provide a reflection surface.
Abstract:
An electron emission display device and a control method of the same. The electron emission display device includes a display region having a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of data lines; a plurality of pixels arranged in regions defined by the scanning lines and the data lines; a data driving unit for transmitting a data signal to the data lines; a scanning driving unit for transmitting a scanning signal to the scanning lines; and a controlling unit for identifying display data for indicating a brightness displayed by the pixels, and correcting the input data input into the pixels using compensation coefficients corresponding to the pixels. In this electron emission device, the input data is corrected in the controlling unit by multiplying the compensation coefficients by the input data.
Abstract:
A halftone mask includes a shielding pattern partially formed on a transparent substrate; a first halftone transmission pattern partially formed on the transparent substrate; and a second halftone transmission pattern formed on the first halftone transmission layer.
Abstract:
A method for adaptive false contour reduction includes: detecting contour location information by removing a flat region having certain brightness values from a first input image based on a bright value difference between the first input image and a second input image with a bit depth of the first input image reduced; detecting false-contour direction and location information by measuring directional contrast of the flat region-removed first image, and distinguishing the false contour area and an edge area out of the false contour location information based on the measured contrast; and smoothing the false contour area by using the false contour direction and location information, and removing the false contour from the first input image. Thus, a flat region can be automatically removed by using a brightness value difference between a bit depth-reduced image and an original input image and detect a false contour, thereby enhancing a precision degree of false contour detection. Further, signal components can be prevented from being degraded by performing smoothing over only a false contour.
Abstract:
A tunable semiconductor laser including a Fabry-Perot filter and an electrode array is disclosed. The propagation direction of the light beam in the cavity can be consecutively shifted applying electric field or current to the electrode and tuning can consecutively performed over the wide wavelength band by the consecutive shift of the angle of the intra cavity laser beam.
