This study relates to a new high-speed drive method for the full-HD PDP with 1080 horizontal scanning lines. The characteristics of the new drive method is evaluated considering the characteristics of the display discharge by the high-speed addressing. In this drive method, if the width of the address pulse narrows, the relati0[V]e discharge strength and the discharge time lag of the first display discharge are received the influence of it. Though the change in the applied position of the address pulse is unrelated to the discharge strength, it influences at the discharge time lag. However, the stable display discharges can be induced regardless of the address pulse position and width if the address pulse position is within [$6{\mu}s$] and the width is up to [$0.7{\mu}s$]. From the experiments, it has been understood that the high-speed drive technique with the address pulse of narrow width is sensitively influenced by the space charge because of the insufficiency of wall charge.

Recently, broadband access networks have been competitively deployed all over the world with the development of various multimedia services for such a network. ETRI(Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute) built the FTTH(Fiber-to-the-Home) service center to develop a next-generation equipment and a high-quality service/platform as well as to promote domestic industry in the field of optical communication. The FTTH service center has a variety of test equipments such as FTTH standard testbed for a BMT(Bench Mark Test), a network operation center, and IPTV service equipments. Also, ETRI deployed a new type of commercial optical access networks cooperating with ISP(Internet service provider). In this paper, we analyzed the quality degradation appeared in QoE(Quality of Experience), when IP data broadcasted from the FTTH service center is transmitted to subscribers through the commercial optical access network. Moreover, we proposed a noble solution to address this problem.

This paper proposes an image display system that reduces the core performance of the processor allocated in the image display, thereby enabling the use of a less expensive processor with a low performance. Essentially, the proposed system supports an image display function for a high resolution in the module of an electronic picture frame (EPF) using a low-performance processor based on converting high definition (HD) image data at a 15Hz frame rate into HD image data at a 60Hz frame rate for use in a digital TV system. As a result, the proposed system can reduce the processor performance to a level corresponding to an image display with a low frame rate, thereby reducing the product cost and allowing various additional functions. Finally, the proposed system is implemented to confirm effectiveness.

Among the compression methods of moving picture information, a motion estimation method is used to remove time-repeating. The Block Matching Algorithm in motion estimation methods is the commonest one. In recent days, it is required the more advanced high quality in many image processing fields, for example HDTV, etc. Therefore, we have to accomplish not by means of Partial Search Algorithm, but by means of Full Search Algorithm in Block Matching Algorithm. In this paper, it is suggested a structure that reduce total calculation quantity and size, because the structure using Bit Plane select and use only 3bit of 8bit luminance signal.

In this paper, we first review LDPC codes in general and a belief propagation algorithm that works in logarithm domain. LDPC codes, which is chosen for second generation digital video broadcasting standard, are required a large number of computation due to large size of coded block and iteration. Therefore, we presented two kinds of low computational algorithm for LDPC codes. First, sequential decoding with partial group is proposed. It has same H/W complexity, and fewer number of iteration's are required at same performance in comparison with conventional decoder algerian. Secondly, early detection method for reducing the computational complexity is proposed. Using a confidence criterion, some bit nodes and check node edges are detected early on during decoding. Through the simulation, we knew that the iteration number are reduced by half using subset algorithm and computational complexity of early detected method is about $50\%$ offs in case of check node update, $99\%$ offs in case of check node update compared to conventional scheme.

We have proposed a new driving method of AC PDP for both high resolution over HDTV and high luminance. The new driving method can reduce data and scan pulse width to 0.85${\mu}s$ by utilizing both rising and falling edges of sustain pulse and can provide high resolution AC PDP with high luminance by increasing the number of addressing discharge using sustain pulses with phase shifts. As a result, the proposed driving scheme makes it possible to drive 2080 horizontal resolution panel with high luminance. The experimental results using 4-inch color AC PDP with $30{\times}58$ pixels indicate that the luminance can achieved up to 850 $cd/m^2$ without image noise when we employ the four phase shifted sustain pulses with the amplitude of 140V and the frequency of 125KHz.

The discharge characteristics for the reset period of sustain pulses of display discharge in address overlapped display driving methode is studied. It has been understood that the display discharge is strongly influenced of not only the wall charge but also the space charge from the experiment result. The first display discharge which comes out exactly after the rest periods strongly depends on the width of the reset period and as for the second display discharge, the dependancy of it is very low. Even if the first display discharge is a little insufficient if the wall charge is accumulated enough, the second display discharge can be stably induced. However, considering the influence of the space charge, it is preferable within the width of $30[{\mu}s}]$ of the reset period. When the rest period is up to $30[{\mu}s}]$, the uniform voltage operation margin of the display discharge of about 12[V] was obtained.

According to the advancement of multimedia compression technologies, high quality multi-media services are easily found in common life. Along with this situation, 5.1-channel audio service also has expanded the application area to home theater system and car theater system and consumer can easily take a chance to experience the feeling of 5.1-channel audio. On the other hand, terrestrial DMB service has been launched in Korea from Dec. 2005 as a handhold multi-media broadcasting service. However, multi-channel audio was not considered due to the insufficiency of bandwidth and the handhold usage. Lately, MPEG is standardizing high efficiency multi-channel audio compression technology for handheld broadcasting service, and several trial for application is introduced in Europe. In this paper, we would like to explain multi-channel audio compression technology, describe the implementation of the verification system for the multi-channel audio service over T-DMB and investigate the possibility of further realization of the service.

In Japan, the specification for digital terrestrial television broadcasting systems has been approved for employing a transmission scheme for ISDB-T, which can accommodate HDTV service and portable mobile reception by adapting segmentation of frequency. In this paper, we have developed 3.5 inch mobile TV according to One-Seg system and presented the results of our development. In addition, we introduce two diversity schemes to compensate the defect that signal is interrupted when the portable TV is moving fast. In order to achieve a reliable communication in One-Seg system, we introduce STD(space time diversity) which uses more than 2 antennas at TX and cooperative reception diversity which utilizes signal-exchanging between different mobile terminals. And, its performance enhancements to reception reliability of previous system are evaluated by computer simulations.

In this paper, we propose an efficient hardware architecture for H.264/AVC CAVLC (Context-based Adaptive Variable Length Coding) encoding. Previous CAVLC architectures search all of the coefficients to find statistic characteristics in a block. However, it is unnecessary information that zero coefficients following the last position of a non-zero coefficient when CAVLC encodes residual coefficients. In order to reduce this unnecessary operation, we propose two techniques, which detect the first and last position of non-zero coefficients and arrange non-zero coefficients sequentially. By adopting these two techniques, the required processing time was reduced about 23% compared with previous architecture. It was designed in a hardware description language and total logic gate count is 16.3k using 0.18um standard cell library Simulation results show that our design is capable of real-time processing for $1920{\times}1088\;30fps$ videos at 81MHz.
