This paper proposes an efficient data compression for the conventional method of reducing EMI in a 10 bit LCD timing controller (TCON). In addition, we develop a new method to reduce EMI in a LCD TCON through repeated data on adjacent blocks. The novel technique reduced EMI by 10 dB for a 52" FHD 10it LCD TV.

This paper describes the PLL of TCON(Timing Controller) chip for FPD(Flat Panel Display). The recent TCON requires wide range frequency operation of $8\sim135MHz$ in PLL. In order to be satisfied this requirement the new V-I converter.circuit. The V-I converter of new architecture increased the minimum/maximum current ratio which widens the operation frequency range of VCO's md also guaranteed linearity of VCO's. The proposed PLL circuits in FPD TCON show the measuring performance of loops RMS jitter in the range of $8\sim135MHz$. The designed circuit was fabricated in 1-ploy 3-metal 0.25um TSMC process technology and has a operation range or $8\sim135MHz$ with 2.5V power.

LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) commonly used as an output device has a drawback of slow response time compared with CRT display. This drawback causes motion blur especially when an abrupt intensity change occurs in an image sequence as time goes on. To overcome the problem of slow response time overdriving technique has been used in TCON of LCD. In this technique, the previous frame data has to be compressed and stored in an external memory. Considering both chip size of TCON and computational complexity, AM-BTC has been applied to the 8bit HD display driver. However, the conventional method is not suitable for 10 bit Full HD because 10 bit Full HD data is much larger than that of 8 bit HD data. Being applied to 10 bit Full HD display driver, the conventional method increase cost by enlarging the external memory size of TCON or deteriorates image quality. In this paper, we propose dual BTC image coding technique for Full HD display driver that is an adaptive coding scheme according to morphological information of each sample block. Through experiments, it is verified that the proposed Dual BTC method performs better than the conventional method not only quantitatively but also qualitatively.

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) or a noise supplied from the outside has an effect on communication between the timing controller (TCON) and the memory element (EEPROM) through the interface between the timing controller and the memory element in liquid crystal displays (LCD). Therefore, we must apply ESD protection methods to LCD operating circuits for a normal operation. Our ESD protection circuit is to prevent from bi-directional communication errors between TCON and EEPROM due to an electrostatic discharge (ESD).

This paper describes the PLL of TCON(Timing Controller) chip for FPD(Flat Panel Display). We propose a new V-I converter which is insensitive to the power supply variation when it is applied to the TCON. The new V-I converter compensated the output frequency of VCO by appling the current that is inversely proportional to the voltage variation. The proposed idea is implemented with a 1-ploy 3-metal 0.25m TSMC CMOS technology and has the output frequency range from 192MHz to 360MHz at the supply voltage of 2.5V. Measurement result shows the RMS jitter of 100ps in the above output frequency range.

Samples with the nominal composition, Bi2-xGexSr2CaCu2O8＋$\delta$ (x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. We have studied the effect of substitution Ge for Bi and investigated the superconducting properties by changing oxygen content with Ge substitution. It was found that temperature difference, ΔK, between TCon and TCzero was considerably smaller in the samples prepared by the intermediate pressing method than that in the samples by the solid-state reaction method. We found the solubility limit of Ge to the 80 K single phase was around x=0.3. Within the solubility limit, lattice constant c decreased with the increase of x. In the region of the 80K single phase, the onset critical temperature TCon increased and excess oxygen content decreased with increase of x.

In accordance with 4K UHD(Ultra High Definition) LCD television's higher resolution and data expansion, LCD TV had to face problems such as increasing numbers of cables and tangible skews problems among cables. The V-by-One HS is a new interface technology in the path between the image processing IC and timing control (TCON) board. The variable speed from 600 Mbps to 3.75 Gbps effectively meets the requirements of various different pixel rates. In this paper, we use the V-by-One HS interface to illustrate our proposed simulation method of frequency resonance mode and PCB design approach to model the effects of signal integrity for high speed video signal using an IBIS models.

A 0.18-${\mu}m$ 3.3 V grounded-gate NMOS (GGNMOS) I/O cell array for timing controller (TCON) application is proposed for improving electrical overstress (EOS) robustness. The improved cell array consists of 20 GGNMOS, 4 inserted well taps, 2 end-well taps and shallow trench isolation (STI). Technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation results show that the inserted well taps and extended drain contact gate spacing (DCGS) is effective in preventing EOS failure, e.g. local burnout. Thermodynamic models for device simulation enable us to obtain lattice temperature distributions inside the cells. The peak value of the maximum lattice temperature in the improved GGNMOS cell array is lower than that in a conventional GGNMOS cell array. The inserted well taps also improve the uniformity of turn-on of GGNMOS cells. EOS test results show the validity of the simulation results on improvement of EOS robustness of the new GGNMOS I/O cell array.

TCDD, one of the notorious toxic environmental pollutants, damages various organs including liver and is regarded as an endocrine disrupter. To investigate the effects of Houttuynia cordata Thunb (HCT) on the biochemical parameters of function, liver and serum of TCDD-treated rats were used. Seven days after the injection of TCDD (1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg), HCT (200 mg/kg) was administered to rats on every other day for four weeks. The lipidperoxide activity was examined by measuring the level of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, total lipid and triglyceride (TG) in serum, and malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver tissue of rats. Result showed that lipidperoxidation was inhibited In the significant level when 2,3,7,8-TCDD-damaged rats were treated with HCT.
