  • Publication number: 20150267456
    Abstract: A multi slide doors device comprises a frame, a power module, a guide pulley module and a plurality of door panels. The first door panel is operated by the power module to move upward or downward. Simultaneously, the second door panel also moves in the same direction with a different moving distance by the transmission of the pulleys in the pulley module. The moving distance of the second door panel is larger than that of the first door panel. In this way, the plurality of door panels can be opened or closed quickly so that the defect of spending long time in opening or closing due to in-sequence moving of door panels and of inconvenient maintenance due to complexity in designing of convention technology can be improved.

  • Patent number: 8269712
    Abstract: A high-reliability gate driving circuit is disclosed for providing a plurality of gate signals to plural gate lines respectively. The gate driving circuit includes a plurality of shift register stages. Each shift register stage includes a pull-up unit, an energy-store unit, a buffer unit, a discharging unit, a first pull-down unit, a second pull-down unit and a control unit. The pull-up unit pulls up a gate signal according to a driving control voltage and a first clock. The buffer unit receives an input signal. The energy-store unit provides the driving control voltage through performing a charging process based on the input signal. The first pull-down unit pulls down the gate signal according to a control signal. The second pull-down unit pulls down the gate signal according to a second clock having a phase opposite to the first clock. The control unit generates the control signal based on the gate signal.

  • Patent number: 7764761
    Abstract: A shift register apparatus and a method thereof are provided. The technique manner submitted by the present invention utilizes two NMOS transistors for pulling down the voltage level of the scan signals output by the shift registers within the shift register apparatus to the low level gate voltage, wherein one of the NMOS transistors is controlled by a control unit, and the other NMOS transistor is controlled by a clock signal or the inverted clock signal provided to the shift registers. Therefore, shifting amount of the threshold voltage of those NMOS transistors can trend to be flat, and the reliability of those NMOS transistors can be promoted. In addition, since only one control unit is needed to dispose in each shift register so that the layout area of whole shift register apparatus can be reduced, and the panel with narrow frame size also can be achieved by the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20070155135
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a polysilicon layer is provided. A substrate having a front surface and a back surface is provided. A buffer layer, an amorphous layer and a cap layer are sequentially formed on the front surface of the substrate. The cap layer is patterned to form a patterned cap layer exposing a portion of the amorphous layer, wherein the exposed portion of the amorphous layer is a crystallization initial region. A metallic catalytic layer is formed on the patterned cap layer, wherein the metallic catalytic layer contacts with the crystallization initial region of the amorphous layer. A laser annealing process is performed through the back surface of the substrate so that the amorphous layer is crystallized and transformed into a polysilicon layer from the crystallization initial region.
