An aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a washing machine that detects contamination of water due to a dye and prevents contamination of laundry due to the dye. The washing machine includes a tub; a drum configured to be rotatable inside of the tub; a detergent supplier configured to supply a detergent to the tub; a water supplier configured to supply a water to the tub; an optical sensor provided under the tub, wherein the optical sensor includes a light emitting element and a light receiving element configured to selectively receive a plurality of visible rays having different wavelengths and an infrared ray among a light emitted from the light emitting element; and a controller configured to control the water supplier to supply the detergent and the water to the tub and rotate the drum during a washing. In addition, the controller may reduce the washing time based on the sum of the received intensities of the plurality of visible rays and the received intensity of the infrared ray.

Washing machine and method of controlling the same

A shift register includes a sampling circuit to sample an input signal in response to a start pulse and two clock signals having different duty ratios from each other, a holding circuit to hold the input signal in response to an output signal of the sampling circuit and the two clock signals, an inverter to invert the output signal of the sampling circuit or the holding circuit, and a NAND gate to receive the output signal of the sampling circuit or the holding circuit and the output signal of the inverter and perform a logical operation on the received output signals to output an output signal. The first clock signal has a duty ratio smaller than the second clock signal. The sampling circuit and the holding circuit have a three-stack structure in which three transistors are coupled with one another in series.

Shift register and organic light emitting display having the same

A clock generator, which can be included in an Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED), includes four switching units and two inverters. Each of the switching units includes two transistors. Transistors of two switching units that are connected to a high-level voltage line are PMOS transistors, and transistors of two switching units that are connected to a low-level voltage line are NMOS transistors. The switching units are sequentially turned on/off in response to four control signals so that the clock generator generates a clock signal. Each of the control signals has a duty ratio of 50%, and there is a phase difference of 90&#xb0; between the control signals. The clock signal alternates between a low level and a high level every &#xbc; of a cycle of each of the control signals.
