A light-emitting device that may be manufactured includes an n-type semiconductor layer including a first dopant on a substrate, an active layer on the n-type semiconductor layer, and a p-type semiconductor layer including a second dopant on the active layer. The light-emitting device may be formed according to at least one of a first layering process and a second layering process. The first layering process may include implanting the first dopant into the n-type semiconductor layer into the n-type semiconductor layer according to an ion-implantation process, and the second layering process may include implanting the second dopant into the p-type semiconductor layer according to an ion-implantation process. Forming a semiconductor layer that includes an ion-implanted dopant may include thermally annealing the semiconductor layer subsequent to the ion implantation. The p-type semiconductor layer may include magnesium-hydrogen (Mg&#x2014;H) complexes at a concentration of about 1&#xd7;10atoms/cmto about 1&#xd7;10atoms/cm.

Light-emitting devices and methods of manufacturing the same

A method of adjusting value includes calculating a value of saturation from an input image signal, and adjusting a value of value of the input image signal according to a calculated saturation value. In the method, the value of value of the input image signal is adjusted by using a value adjustment algorithm for determining a value adjustment rate that decreases the value according to the saturation value.

A method and circuit for controlling the brightness of a backlight in a display device. The circuit comprises a backlight brightness selecting block that measures the brightness of ambient light and selects brightness information of the backlight based on the measured brightness of the ambient light. An image processing block performs image processing on received image signal based on the measured brightness of the ambient light, and calculates an image processing gain of the received image signal based on the result of image processing and the received image signal. A backlight adjusting unit controls the brightness of the backlight based on the selected backlight brightness information and the image processing gain.

An ambient light processing system for controlling a display device by sensing ambient light and a method using the system. The ambient light processing system includes a photo-detector, an amplification unit, an analog-to-digital converter and a controller. The photo-detector outputs a sensed signal corresponding to the luminous intensity of the ambient light. The amplification unit amplifies the sensed signal with a high amplification factor to output a first amplified signal and amplifies the sensed signal with a low amplification factor to output a second amplified signal. The analog-to-digital converter respectively converts the first amplified signal and the second amplified signal into a first digital signal and a second digital signal. The controller outputs a first control signal and a second control signal for controlling the display device in response to the first digital signal and the second digital signal.

A variable-length decoder includes a bitstream interface unit and a decoding unit. The bitstream interface unit generates a decoding bitstream for a current decoding process based on an unused decoding bitstream and an input bitstream. The unused bitstream includes unused bits of a previous decoding bitstream. The decoding unit decodes the decoding bitstream to generate a plurality of symbols per clock cycle and provides a next unused bitstream for a next decoding process to the bitstream interface unit.
