Recently, as the light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) technology has improved, especially LED brightness is remarkable increased, the brightness of LCD panel is enough even if LED sources are located in only short edge sides (left and right) of the LCD module. As a result, the smart local dimming system is needed to use the invented LED back light unit (BLU) efficiently. In this paper, we proposed the new local dimming system to reduce power consumption and enhance motion picture quality for a new edge LED BLU. The proposed system is applied to active 2D local dimming algorithm and scanning technique at the same time. Our local dimming system has 3 advantages, 25% power saving, 1:100,000 contrast ratio and average MPRT 3.9ms with 240Hz panel. We verified performances by measurement. Finally, our 2D dimming technique was developed as AISC IP type which was merged in timing controller (TCON), so we can apply our system for mass product in 2011 year.

Abstract. Even without possible interference from external radio sources, the problem of guaranteeing quality-of-service (QoS) routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is a difficult problem. Difficulties arise because node mobility can cause frequent network topology changes, communication channels can have high error rates, the jitter rate is high and several different applications can be sharing the use of the communication medium. This paper addresses these issues and proposes a new QoS routing protocol for MANETs that combines aspects of a MAC protocol and a path reservation protocol. The proposed QoS routing protocol can be implemented based on any routing method that supports multiple paths (e.g., DSDV, TORA, PDR). The QoS performance of the proposed protocol is verified with simulations conducted using NS-2.
