Abstract: RGB display data is sequentially divided and written into
pixels of each of the RGB in a display device. The display
device has a DA converter (150-1) selecting and outputting
one of plurality of the γ-correction voltages based on the
sequentially divided RGB display data, the γ-correction voltage
switching circuit (160) selecting the γ-correction voltage
for each of the RGB by changing the first and second reference
voltages for each of the RGB, and the switching circuit
(180) selectively supplying the output of the DA converter
(150-1) to the pixels of each of the RGB. The γ-correction

Abstract: Fast and efficient photodiodes with different structures
are fabricated using CMOS process technology by adapting
transistor structures to form the diode structures. The
anode regions of the photodiodes correspond to either PLDD
regions of PMOS transistors or P-wells of NMOS transistors

user to set a parental level of a data stream recorded and stored on a rewritable optical disc
or write-once optical disc, and can record and manage the set parental level as navigation

children or teenagers cannot arbitrarily reproduce a data stream of an adult program.
Further, a parental grade code, a supplemental parental grade code or if the parental code
was generated using parental management information previously supplied by the user can

Abstract: An apparatus and method for synchronizing the transmission of uplink signals
and reception of downlink signals by a terminal in a mobile communication system is disclosed,
the apparatus and method allowing the terminal itself to adaptively compensate for deflection
generated in synchronization of the transmission channel and to recover a synchronization error
of the transmission channel without re-setting communications with the base station. A
feedback path is formed between a transmitting unit, a receiving unit and a processing unit to
facilitate frequently checking the synchronization between uplink and downlink timeslots by
generating a reference signal input to the transmitting unit and comparing a signal received from
the receiving unit. The channel synchronization apparatus and method may be adapted for a

Abstract: Multi-dimensional space Gray code maps for multi-dimensional phase modulation
as applied to LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) coded modulation. A novel approach is
provided within LDPC coded modulation communication systems that employ multi-dimensional
phase modulation, using  m -D (multi-dimensional) Gray code maps, to
provide for improved performance when compared to communication systems employing
1-D (single-dimensional) Gray code maps. This approach can generate all possible  m -D
Gray code maps for a 2 m -D M PSK modulation system. For example, all of the 2-D
Gray code maps may be generated for a communication system using 4-D 8 PSK
modulation system (where  m =2, and  M =8). A variety decoding processing approaches
may be employed to perform LDPC coded modulation decoding of multi-dimensional
space Gray code mapped signals. The slightly increased decoding complexity (when
compared to decoding 1-D Gray code mapped signals) is the computation of symbol
metrics and their decomposition to bit metrics.
