The disclosure describes a liquid crystal display panel including a plurality of sub-pixels, a plurality of thin film transistors, a plurality of data lines, and a plurality of gate lines. Each of the sub-pixels has first and second gray scale regions which are split up and down and have different areas, first and second gray scale regions of one sub-pixel having a staggered arrangement with respect to those of an adjacent sub-pixel. Thin film transistors are connected to first and second gray scale regions so that first gray scale regions are driven when one of gate lines is driven and the second gray scale regions are driven when another gate line is driven.

A thin film transistor substrate and a liquid crystal display capable of eliminating residual images and enhancing clarity are presented. The thin film transistor substrate includes a charge-up capacitor for increasing electric charge in a first pixel electrode of a first pixel capacitor and a charge-down capacitor decreasing electric charge in a second pixel electrode of a second pixel capacitor. An extension electrode portion of the charge-up capacitor is formed in the shape of a frame to reduce any variation in the overlapping area between the first pixel electrode and the extension electrode portion caused by an alignment error generated during the manufacturing process.

A cassette front loading apparatus for DAT of tray type which loads and unloads a cassette by moving horizontally and vertically is disclosed. Without utilizing separately the loading motor and the lift and drop motor for moving the cassette horizontally and lifting and dropping the same, with existing capstan motor only, the loading and unloading operation including the horizontal and vertical movement, slider opening movement, cassette take out movement and location detecting operation and the like are executed. Accordingly, the loading motor and the lift and drop motor and the number of parts are deleted, consequently all of the mechanism is very much simplified, therefore the preciseness and the durability are expected to be enhanced. Since all of the mechanism is simplified, the cost of the product is decreased and the assembling process became easier simultaneously the productivity is remarkably increased.

Cassette loading apparatus for digital audio tape recorder

A cassette front loading apparatus of a digital audio tape recorders for tray type which loads and unloads a cassette by moving horizontally and vertically. A single capstan motor is used for loading and for the lifting and dropping and for moving the cassette horizontally and lifting and dropping the same, to effect the loading and unloading operation including the horizontal and vertical movement, slider opening movement, cassette take out movement and location detecting operation and the like. Consequently all of the mechanism is very much simplified whereby the preciseness and the durability are enhanced.
