| 20080252196 | Active-Matrix Field Emission Display - Provided is a field emission display (FED) in which field emission devices are applied to a flat panel display. The FED includes: a cathode plate including a substrate, first and second thin film transistors (TFTs) that are serially connected on the substrate, a field emitter disposed on a drain electrode of the second TFT, a gate insulating layer having a gate hole surrounding the field emitter, and field emission gate electrodes disposed on the gate insulating layer; and an anode plate including a substrate, and red, green, and blue phosphors disposed on the substrate, wherein the cathode plate and the anode plate are vacuum-packaged parallel and opposite to each other. According to the present invention, uniformity of the FED panel can be significantly improved, and an inherent source-drain leakage current of the TFT can be significantly reduced, so that a contrast ratio of the FED can be significantly enhanced. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080284314 | Active-Matrix Field Emission Pixel and Active-Matrix Field Emission Display - Provided is a field emission display (FED) capable of driving on the basis of current and preventing leakage current caused by thin film transistors (TFTs). The FED includes: a plurality of unit pixels including an emission element in which cathode luminescence of a phosphor occurs and a TFT for driving the emission element; a current source for applying a scan signal to each unit pixel; and a voltage source for applying a data signal to each unit pixel. Here, the on-current of the current source is high enough to take care of the load resistance and capacitance of a scan row within a given writing time, and the off-current of the current source is so low that the electron emission of each pixel can be ignored. In addition, the pulse amplitude or pulse width of the data signal applied from the voltage source is changed, and thereby the gray scale of the display is represented. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090141387 | NANOPROBE-BASED HEATING APPARATUS AND HEAT-ASSISTED MAGNETIC RECORDING HEAD USING THE SAME - A nanoprobe-based heating apparatus includes a nanoprobe, a heating unit, a gap control unit, and a support unit. The nanoprobe has a tip forming at an end of the nanoprobe, and the tip applies heat to a magnetic recording bit of a recording medium. The heating unit heats the nanoprobe. The gap control unit controls a gap between the nanoprobe and the recording medium. The support unit supports the nanoprobe, the heating unit, and the gap control unit. The nanoprobe-based heating apparatus is installed at a magnetic recording head of a magnetic hard disk drive to be able to heat an ultra-fine region of a recording medium very rapidly by applying heat together with a magnetic field. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20100092183 | FREQUENCY TUNABLE TERAHERTZ CONTINUOUS WAVE GENERATOR - A frequency tunable terahertz continuous wave generator controls the number of feedbacks of an optical signal output from an optical intensity modulator by adding a feedback loop between input and output terminals of the optical intensity modulator, thereby simply tuning a frequency of a terahertz continuous wave. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100134372 | THZ-BAND FOLDED DIPOLE ANTENNA HAVING HIGH INPUT IMPEDANCE - Provided is a folded dipole antenna including a meander line formed on a photoconductive substrate, characterized by an input impedance of several kΩ, which is much higher than that of a conventional dipole antenna, due to optimization of a horizontal length, a line interval, a width, and a line number of the meander line. Accordingly, use of the folded dipole antenna greatly improves an impedance matching characteristic between the antenna and a photomixer having an output impedance of 10 kΩ or more, and accordingly an output of a THz continuous wave. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100149640 | TUNABLE DIFFRACTION GRATING APPARATUS - Provided is a tunable diffraction grating apparatus including: a diffraction grating portion having a diffraction grating with an linearly variable grating interval, the diffraction grating being formed of an elastic member; a drive portion connected to the diffraction grating portion and applying a force to the diffraction grating portion to vary the grating interval; and a controller for controlling the drive portion to adjust the grating interval depending on a specific wavelength input from the exterior. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100155605 | TERAHERTZ WAVE TX/RX MODULE PACKAGE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - Provided are a terahertz wave transmission and reception (Tx/Rx) module package and method of manufacturing the same. The complete and separate terahertz wave Tx/Rx module package is implemented by simply aligning a silicon ball lens, a photoconductive antenna and a focusing lens, and thus facilitates generation or measurement of a terahertz wave. The terahertz wave Tx/Rx module package and method can remarkably reduce time and cost required to build a terahertz wave generation and measurement system, and simplify and miniaturize the terahertz wave generation and measurement system. In addition, characteristics of a terahertz wave generated by the photoconductive antenna can be simply measured. Furthermore, the terahertz wave Tx/Rx module package can be stored and transported with a photoconductive antenna, a silicon ball lens and a focusing lens kept aligned as they are, and also it is possible to minimize pollution of terahertz wave devices caused by surroundings. | 06-24-2010 |
