A method and apparatus for controlling the orienting of the ends of a finite length segment of tube following a bend thereof through a predefined angle. It is therefore possible to provide an electrode contact structure which can prevent a reduction in mass productivity, a liquid crystal display apparatus in which the electrode contact structure is provided, and a method for manufacturing the electrode contact structure. The active element includes a gate electrode, an insulating layer, a channel layer, a source and a drain. In one embodiment, the award includes a value from each slot and in a preferred embodiment the award includes the smallest value from the slots. The users tune to the frequency of the channel to receive the emergency broadcast message. More specifically, a motor having enhanced starting torque performance and increased normal operation efficiency is disclosed.
