Abstract:
A 2D array-based neuromorphic processor includes: axon circuits each being configured to receive a first input corresponding to one bit from among bits indicating n-bit activation; first direction lines extending in a first direction from the axon circuits; second direction lines intersecting the first direction lines; synapse circuits disposed at intersections of the first direction lines and the second direction lines, and each being configured to store a second input corresponding to one bit from among bits indicating an m-bit weight and to output operation values of the first input and the second input; and neuron circuits connected to the second direction lines, each of the neuron circuits being configured to receive an operation value output from at least one of the synapse circuits, based on time information assigned individually to the synapse circuits, and to perform a multi-bit operation by using the operation values and the time information.
Abstract:
An image signal processor that generates a display signal receives an input image signal having a first pedestal level from an image sensor, generates a first signal from the input image signal, the first signal including a second pedestal level, the second pedestal level being different from the first pedestal level and being determined in accordance with the first pedestal level and a processing gain of the image signal processor, generates a second signal having the second pedestal level by amplifying the first signal in accordance with the processing gain, generates a third signal having the second pedestal level by removing a noise signal from the second signal; and generates a fourth signal by subtracting the second pedestal level from the third signal.
Abstract:
An image sensor may include visible light detectors and a near-infrared light detector. The near-infrared light detector may contain a material highly sensitive to near-infrared rays, and thus the size of the near-infrared light detector may be reduced.
Abstract:
Provided are a graphene-metal bonding structure, a method of manufacturing the graphene-metal bonding structure, and a semiconductor device including the graphene-metal bonding structure. According to example embodiments, a graphene-metal bonding structure includes: a graphene layer; a metal layer on the graphene layer; and an intermediate material layer between the graphene layer and the metal layer. The intermediate material layer forms an edge-contact with the metal layer from boundary portions of a material contained in the intermediate material layer that contact the metal layer.
Abstract:
A search and display method of an electronic device using handwriting is provided. The search and display method includes recognizing the handwriting, determining whether the recognized handwriting is a gesture or text, recognizing the gesture if it is determined that the recognized handwriting is the gesture, and registering gesture information about the gesture and function information about a function corresponding to the gesture information based on the recognized gesture.
