An apparatus and a method capable of receiving digital broadcasting without image discontinuity during channel switching. A digital multimedia broadcasting receiver buffers a previous channel while a new channel is buffered in a deinterleaver, thereby preventing image discontinuity during channel switching. The digital broadcasting receiver receives and deinterleaves broadcast data of a channel to be changed and stores the deinterleaved broadcast data in a buffer when a broadcast channel change is requested. The digital broadcasting receiver outputs and displays broadcast data of an initial channel stored in the buffer and stops output of the broadcast data of the initial channel and outputs the broadcast data of the channel to be changed, when the broadcast data of the channel to be changed are stored in the buffer by a predetermined buffering size.

A string matching method, system, and a computer-readable medium storing instructions for determining and obtaining a representative string for a plurality of strings that are written in various manners but share the same meaning. The string matching method includes: converting the input string into one or more second-language strings with reference to a language mapping table, which stores a plurality of pieces of mapping information for mapping a first-language string to a second-language string, and generating a conversion list; searching a representative list database, which storing a plurality of records each with a representative string and a corresponding second-language representative string, for records including the same second-language representative strings as the respective second-language strings in the conversion list and generating a candidate list; and determining a representative string from the candidate list to be an output representative string. Therefore, the string matching can provide string-based multimedia data classification scenarios.

A digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) reception apparatus receives DMB service in a mobile communication system. In the DMB reception apparatus, a Reed-Solomon (R-S) decoder receives a coded broadcast signal and outputs an error symbol with a transport error indicator bit, if all data bits in the symbol are '0'. A moving picture experts group (MPEG) decoder discards the error symbol.

A shift register has multiple stages each of which includes a pull-up part to generate a current gate line driving signal having a first state in response to a first control signal and a clock signal, a pull-down part to generate the current gate line driving signal having a second state in response to a second control signal, a pull-up driver to generate the first control signal to control the pull-up part in response to a previous gate line driving signal provided from a previous stage, a following gate line driving signal provided from a following stage, and an input voltage signal externally provided, and a pull-down driver to generate the second control signal to control the pull-down part in response to a third control signal provided from the pull-up driver and the input voltage signal, in which the second control signal swings between first and second voltage levels in association with the input voltage signal that swings between predetermined voltage levels.

Method of driving transistor

A pixel electrode is located in a pixel area defined by the intersections of the two adjacent gate lines and the two adjacent data lines, and has two linear openings extending in the transverse direction, which divide the pixel electrodes into three rectangular portions arranged in the longitudinal direction. The portions are connected in turn, and each portion of the pixel electrode has an X-shaped projection formed by the X-shaped member thereunder, and portions of the gate insulating film and the passivation film on the member. Since the gate insulating film and the passivation film are also located on the gate lines and the data lines, and the layered structure on the wires acts as peripheral projections of the pixel electrode. Each area enclosed by the projections, the openings and the peripheral projections is in a shape of equilateral trapezoid. The areas may be defined as the areas where the pixel electrode is in direct contact with the substrate. That is, each area has a planar shape of triangle, of which corner at the center of X-shape is chamfered. This structure causes a splay arrangement or a bend arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules in each domain, which is defined as a portion of the liquid crystal layer over each divided area, to be reinforced to improve the response time.

A liquid crystal material is injected into a liquid crystal cell while a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal cell rendering the liquid crystal molecules parallel to the substrates. The temperature of the vacuum chamber during injection of liquid crystal material is higher than the room temperature to reduce the viscosity of the liquid crystal material, and below the liquid crystal-isotropic transition temperature to maintain the liquid crystal state. To avoid the evaporation of the liquid crystal material, the temperature is preferably lower than the clearing point of the liquid crystal material. The voltage applied to the liquid crystal cell is over the threshold voltage so that the liquid crystal molecules align themselves parallel to the substrate, and the AC voltage having a low frequency of equal to or lower than 60 Hz is preferably used to make the liquid crystal material oscillate laterally. Then, the steric hindrance and interaction between the homeotropic alignment films and the liquid crystal material is reduced and thereby reducing the injection time. In the end seal process, a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal cell as in the filling process to render the liquid crystal molecules parallel to the substrates and make the excess liquid crystal material to discharge easily, and then the injection hole is sealed.

A method and an apparatus for cleaning a printing plate for fabricating an alignment film in which the printing plate is dipped into an internal container filled with a solvent and a predetermined vibration is transmitted to the printing plate so as to remove a polyimide remaining at the printing plate. In addition, the printing plate is loaded into a heater tank and baked at a high temperature with an injected gas, to thereby completely remove solvent residuals at the printing plate, completely cleaning the printing plate and preventing solvent residuals from solidifying.
