A multi-step exposure method using an electronic shutter and a photography apparatus using the same are provided. The photography apparatus includes an image sensor, and a control unit which divides an area of the image into a first area and a second area using brightness information of the acquired image, and controls so that a first row group and a second row group of the second area have different exposure times. As a result, an image with a wider dynamic range is provided.

A light guide plate includes a light incident surface, a light emitting surface and a light guide surface. The light incident surface receives light from an external light source. The light emitting surface emits outward the light received through the light incident surface. The light guide surface faces the light emitting surface and includes a diffusion pattern formed thereon. The diffusion pattern includes a plurality of porous particles and a plurality of spheroidal particles, and the porous particles have pores formed therein and on surfaces thereof.

A multi-step exposed image acquisition method by an electronic shutter and a photography apparatus using the same are provided. The photography apparatus includes a controller configured to divide an image sensor into a plurality of areas and separately control an exposure time with respect to the plurality of areas of the image sensor and a display configured to display an image on which the exposure times for the areas has been controlled. Accordingly, a multi-step exposed image can be acquired from an image having varying brightness.

In a light-guide module, a method of manufacturing the light-guide module and a backlight assembly having the light-guide module, the light-guide module includes a light-guide plate ('LGP') and a thin-film layer. The LGP has a light-incident surface into which lights are incident and a light-exiting surface through which lights exit. The thin-film layer is formed on the LGP. The thin-film layer has a concavo-convex pattern formed on an opposite surface of a surface contacting the LGP. Accordingly, a thin-film layer having a concavo-convex pattern is formed on a light-incident surface of an LGP, so that a reflectance of light incident into the LGP may be decreased. Moreover, a light amount transmitted through the LGP is increased in accordance with a decreasing of reflectance, so that a light transmittance may be increased in total.

An X-ray device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the device includes an X-ray detector and a power contactor which includes a contact terminal. The device may further include an X-ray table that provides a space into which the X-ray detector is inserted and that includes a push pin pressing the power contactor, wherein the power contactor selectively protrudes from the inside to the outside of the X-ray detector due to a pressure applied by the push pin, and the contact terminal is electrically connected to a power terminal of the X-ray table. The X-ray detector prevents exposure of the power contactor to the outside thereof when the X-ray detector is carried or transported and thus prevents a malfunction of the X-ray detector.

A backlight assembly includes a light guiding plate and a plurality of first light sources. The light guiding plate includes a light exiting surface through which light can exit, a light guiding surface positioned opposite to the light exiting surface, and a first surface extending between the light guiding surface and the light exiting surface and inclined with respect to the light guiding surface by a first angle. The first angle is an acute angle. The first light sources can generate light, and are disposed under the light guiding plate. These first light sources are disposed adjacent to a first edge connecting the first surface with the light guiding surface.

Tobacco stems are expanded by superheated steam in a U-shaped, tubular expansion device, which is provided with a venturi tube and cooling jackets. The superheated steam under high pressure is ejected toward the venturi tube. The rapid speed of the steam stream creates a Bernoulli flow, namely strong suction force in the venturi tube. By this force, the tobacco stems, which are being continuously supplied into a hopper from a tobacco cutter, are automatically sucked into the expansion device via the venturi tube. Tobacco stems primarily expanded in the expansion device are sent to a cyclone system and further puffed therein.
