A memory device includes a memory cell array, a refresh controller, and control logic. The memory cell array includes a plurality of rows. The refresh controller performs a refresh operation on the plurality of rows. The control logic controls a care operation on a first adjacent region that is most adjacent to a first row based on a number of times the plurality of rows are accessed during a first period. The control logic also controls a care operation on a second adjacent region that is second adjacent to a second row based on a number of times the plurality of rows are accessed during a second period. The first and second periods are different periods.

Memory device performing care operation for disturbed row and operating method thereof

A display panel includes an upper plate including a first substrate, a first electrode layer formed on an inner surface of the first substrate, and an absorptive polarizing film formed on an outer surface of the first substrate and having a first polarization axis, a lower plate including a second substrate, a second electrode layer formed on an inner surface of the second substrate, and a reflective polarizing film formed on an outer surface of the second substrate and having a second polarization axis perpendicular or parallel to the first polarization axis, an LC layer filled between the upper plate and the lower plate, and an LC driving power supply connected between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer and configured to selectively provide an LC driving voltage to the LC layer changing a polarization direction of incident light in the LC layer.

Display panel and display apparatus having the same

A liquid crystal display apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present inventive concept is provided the liquid crystal display apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel which displays images; backlight unit which provides light to the liquid crystal panel; and an optical sheet unit which is placed between the liquid crystal panel and backlight, wherein the optical sheet unit includes at least one scattering particle optical sheet where scattering particles are provided.

Liquid crystal display apparatus having scattering particle optical sheet

An optical device comprises a light source unit comprising a plurality of light sources, a light mixing unit that is formed on the light source unit and comprises a light guiding part guiding light emitted from each light source, and a light mixing part mixing the guided light. A supporter supports the light mixing unit to be spaced from the light source unit. A small-sized optical device is provided having an enhanced light efficiency and a projection system having the same.

Optical device and projection system comprising the same

A backlight unit including a plurality of light-emitting device units with varying arrangement intervals such that the light-emitting device units are more densely arranged at edges of a base plate than at center thereof, and a liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus employing the same. The backlight unit is designed to prevent creation of dark portions on corners due to a shortage in an amount of light, thereby providing improved brightness uniformity.

Backlight unit and liquid crystal display apparatus employing the same

A color filter unit and a projection system employing the same. The color filter unit includes a first color selection polarization conversion element, which converts a polarization direction of a beam in a specific color band of an incident light, and a color filter, which separates light passed through the first color selection polarization conversion element according to color, so that color mixture in spectral boundaries between color beams is prevented. Because the color mixture occurring when beams into which light emitted from a white light source is separated are combined is prevented, the quality of an image is improved.

Color filter unit and projection system employing the same

A side emitting device, a backlight unit using the same as a light source, and a liquid crystal display (LCD) employing the backlight unit. The side emitting device includes a light-emitting device to emit light, and a side emitter to change the path of at least part of the light emitted from the light-emitting device. The side emitter includes a first reflecting surface reflecting light emitted from the light-emitting device in a first range of angles close to a central axis, a first refracting surface refracting the light reflected by the first reflecting surface obliquely downward from the horizontal axis, and a second refracting surface refracting light emitted from the light-emitting device in a second range of angles complementary to the first range of angles. The backlight unit includes at least an array of side emitting devices, a reflection diffusion plate and a first transmission diffusion plate.

A collimating lens and a collimating system which condense light emitted from a light source with directivity at a high efficiency and a projection type image displaying apparatus using the same. The collimating system includes a light source having at least one dominant emitting angle at which light having a relatively great intensity distribution is emitted and a collimating lens including at least one prism portion having an exit surface sloping at a prism angle corresponding to the dominant emitting angle.

Collimating lens, collimating system, and image displaying apparatus using collimating system

A single-panel color image display apparatus realizing a wide color gamut is provided. The single-panel color image display apparatus includes a colored light separator having a plurality of dichroic filters in which a dichroic filter reflecting a red light beam may be disposed lastly among the plurality of dichroic filters. The single-panel color image display apparatus may include a scrolling unit having a mask at a boundary portion between spiral lens cells.

Single-panel color image display apparatus and scrolling method

A single-panel color image display apparatus includes a plurality of switchable color filters selectively transmitting and/or reflecting a plurality of color light beams. In the single panel color image display apparatus, the plurality of color light beams are radiated in turn at the same pixel of a display device so that true color can be realized in a unit pixel during a period of a single video frame. The single-panel color image display apparatus has physically the same resolution as a conventional projection-type single-panel image display apparatus using a color wheel and has substantially the same light efficiency and resolution as a conventional three-panel color image display apparatus using three display devices.
