Abstract: The present invention provides a display board (30) comprising an array of light emitting elements (31), a driving means (32) for driving the light emitting elements (31) with image data, and an aging determination means (33). The aging determination means (33) comprises at least a first reference light emitting element (34) which, during use of the display board (30), is driven with a value derived from the image data, and second reference light emitting element (35) which, during use of the display board (30) is not driven. At the time of an intermediate calibration, the at least first and second reference light emitting elements (34, 35) are driven with respectively first and second calibration data and the light emitted by the reference light emitting elements (34, 35) is measured. The difference between the light emitted by the first reference light emitting element (34) and the light emitted by the second reference light emitting element (35) is a measure for the degree of aging of the light emitting elements (31) of the array.

Abstract: A packaging assembly (100) discharges semi-dry granular goods e.g. sausage meat into a foil or net bag through a filling tube (120) with two sections (124, 128) side-by-side. Upstream of the first section (124), the tube (120) has a filling pipe section (140) that may be rotated about an axis (132). The tube changes direction between the first and second sections. The tube has an inlet (130) and a connector (122) to an essentially straight first section (124). A second pipe section (128) is located alongside the first, and receives and passes on a foil tape (114) for conversion to a foil hose (118). The second section (128) receives and passes on the hose (118). In a further embodiment, the second section (128) takes up and passes on a supply of foil or net hose, drawn from above the inlet (130). The filling tube (120) has a rotating (132) section (140) located immediately before the first section (124) and a direction-change station (126, 150, 152) located between the first (124) and second (128) sections. The first and second sections are formed as a single unit. The second section is essentially straight, and has a second longitudinal axis that subtends an angle with the first that is less than 180.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a thin film transistor array substrate and a thin film transistor array substrate using the same for preventing a deterioration of a picture quality are disclosed. In the method of the thin film transistor array substrate, a transparent conductive material and a metal material are sequentially disposed on a substrate. A first mask process patterns the transparent conductive material and the metal material. 
The method forms the active layer of island-shape and the ohmic contact layer at an area which is overlapped with the gate electrode using the second mask process, and forms the source electrode and the drain electrode using the third mask process different from the second mask process. Accordingly, the gate electrode shields a light irradiated from the back light not to be thereby irradiated the light into the active layer of the TFT array substrate of the present invention. Thus, the TFT does not form a channel irregardless of a drive of the TFT array substrate, so that the TFT array substrate can remove a leakage of the pixel voltage signal charged into the pixel electrode. As a result, the TFT array substrate of the present invention can prevent a deterioration of a picture quality of the liquid crystal display device.
