  • Patent number: 11842896
    Abstract: A single layer process is utilized to reduce swing effect interference and reflection during imaging of a photoresist. An anti-reflective additive is added to a photoresist, wherein the anti-reflective additive has a dye portion and a reactive portion. Upon dispensing the reactive portion will react with underlying structures to form an anti-reflective coating between the underlying structure and a remainder of the photoresist. During imaging, the anti-reflective coating will either absorb the energy, preventing it from being reflected, or else modify the optical path of reflection, thereby helping to reduce interference caused by the reflected energy.

  • Publication number: 20230394690
    Abstract: A method for obtaining depth images for improved driving safety applied in an electronic device processes first and immediately-following second images which have been captured and processes each to obtain two sets of predicted depth maps. The electronic device determines a transformation matrix of a camera between first and second images and converts the first predicted depth maps into first point cloud maps, and second predicted depth maps into second point cloud maps. The first point cloud maps are converted into third point cloud maps, and the second point cloud maps into fourth point cloud maps. First and fourth point cloud maps are matched and first and second error values are calculated, thereby obtaining a target deep learning network model. Images to be detected are input into the target deep learning network model and depth images are obtained.
