PCT No. PCT/EP96/05140 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 23, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 23, 1998 PCT Filed Nov. 21, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/19206 PCT Pub. Date May 29, 1997The invention relates to a method for the electrolytic deposition of metal coatings, in particular of copper coatings with certain physical-mechanical and optical properties and uniform coating thickness. According to known methods using soluble anodes and applying direct current, only uneven metal distribution can be attained on complex shaped workpieces. By using a pulse current or pulse voltage method, the problem of the coatings being of varying thickness at various places on the workpiece surfaces can indeed be reduced. However, the further problem of the geometric ratios being changed continuously during the depositing process by dissolving of the anodes is not resolved thus. This can be avoided by using insoluble anodes. In order to guarantee sufficient stability of the anodes and a bright coating even at those points on the workpiece surfaces, onto which the metal is deposited with high current density, it is essential to add compounds of an electrochemically reversible redox system to the depositing solution.

A method of driving a light source, a light source apparatus for performing the method, and a display apparatus having the light source apparatus are disclosed in accordance with one or more embodiments. In the method, a plurality of light source strings connected in parallel is driven by applying a driving voltage to a first terminal of the light source strings. A peak current due to a voltage deviation of each of the light source strings is switch-controlled to uniform an average current of the light source strings. Thus, a peak current flowing through light source strings in accordance with a voltage deviation of the light source strings is switch-controlled, so that an average current of the light source strings may be uniformly maintained. Therefore, a voltage deviation is not consumed as power, so that damage to circuit elements due to heat may be prevented.

A nutriculture device and a stack-type nutriculture pot system for use in the nutriculture device are disclosed. The nutriculture vice includes moving means for periodically moving a plurality of nutriculture pots, each having culture soil for supporting a crop, on a predetermined closed loop type moving track, a spray nozzle installed at a location on the moving track of the nutriculture pots, for supplying a nutrient solution to the nutriculture pot passing through the location, and a nutrient solution recovery channel for recovering the nutrient solution flowing from the nutriculture pot. Since the above-described nutriculture device supplies a nutrient solution to a plurality of nutriculture pots using a single spray nozzle, its construction can be noticeably simplified. Also, since a nutriculture pot moves periodically so that its location in a houseplant changes at any time, an amount of sunshine applied to a crop is uniformly maintained, allowing the crop to grow evenly.

An improved AM OLED pixel circuit and method of wide dynamic range dimming for AM OLED displays are disclosed that maintain color balance throughout the dimming range, and also maintain the uniformity of the luminance and chromaticity of the display at low gray-levels as the display is dimmed to lower luminance values. As such, AM OLED displays can meet the stringent color/dimming specifications required for existing and future avionics, cockpit, and hand-held military device display applications. Essentially, the OLED pixel circuit and method of dimming that are disclosed use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of the OLED pixel current to achieve the desired display luminance. Two example circuits are disclosed that externally PW modulate the common cathode voltage or common power supply voltage to modulate the OLED current in order to achieve the desired display luminance. Three example circuits are disclosed that incorporate additional transistor switches in the pixel circuit to modulate the OLED current during the frame time. By PWM of the OLED current, in combination with data voltage (or current) modulation, wide dynamic range dimming can be achieved while maintaining the color balance and the luminance and chromaticity uniformity required over the surface of the display involved.

A method for heating a wafer to a predetermined temperature, the wafer being held by a holding unit and being accommodated in a processing container equipped with a heater. The wafer is heated to a processing temperature while positioning the wafer at an adjacent position that results form making the wafer approach the heating surface of the heater. After heating the wafer to the predetermined temperature, the wafer is separated from the flat bottom surface of the container body to a processing position. In this state, a processing chamber of the processing container is supplied with a processing fluid, while the holding unit and the heater are relatively moved close to and apart from each other intermittently or continuously. Accordingly, it is possible to quickly heat the substrate to a processing temperature while supplying the substrate with the processing fluid uniformly. This improves throughout and the homogenization in processing.
