  • Publication number: 20190096592
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a composite material is provided. First, graphene oxide and activated carbon are provided individually. Graphene oxide and activated carbon are added into an alcohol to form a mixture. Then, the mixture is heated by microwave in a single step, so that graphene oxide is chemically reduced to form graphene at the active sites of the surface of the activated carbon uniformly, thereby forming a composite material. The embodied composite material is suitable for being the electrodes of the capacitive deionization (CDI) and supercapacitor application.

  • Publication number: 20190042037
    Abstract: A touch display panel operating in alternating touch-sensing modes includes a first substrate and a second substrate facing the first substrate, and with first electrodes on the first substrate and second electrodes on the second substrate. The touch display panel can work in a self-capacitance mode and a mutual-capacitance mode in sensing touch operations. The mutual-capacitance mode is implemented by the first electrodes and the second electrodes working together and the self-capacitance mode is implemented by the first electrodes alone.

  • Publication number: 20190012957
    Abstract: A micro LED display panel includes a first metal layer, a micro LED layer on the first metal layer, and a transparent conductive layer on a side of the micro LED layer opposite from the first metal layer. The micro LED layer includes a plurality of micro LEDs spaced apart from each other. The first metal layer includes a plurality of first metal units spaced apart from each other. The plurality of first metal units serve as anodes or cathodes of the plurality of micro LEDs. The transparent conductive layer includes a plurality of transparent conductive units spaced apart from each other. The plurality of transparent conductive units serve as anodes or cathodes of the plurality of micro LEDs and are multiplexed as touch electrodes. The micro LED display panel of the present disclosure has both a display function and a touch function.

  • Publication number: 20180145090
    Abstract: A TFT substrate for a touch display panel of reduced thickness defines a display area and a surrounding non-display area. The TFT substrate includes a first conductive layer on the substrate and a second conductive layer on the first conductive layer. In the display area, the first conductive layer includes data lines and the second conductive layer includes common electrodes. Each common electrode extends as a strip along a first direction. Each data line extends along a second direction. The first direction intersects the second direction. Each data line crosses the common electrodes. Each data line functions as a touch driving electrode and each common electrode functions as a touch sensing electrode.

  • Publication number: 20180046295
    Abstract: A touch display device able to receive touches and sense the touch forces includes a color filter substrate, a thin film transistor substrate, a liquid crystal layer, and an electrically-conductive frame on a side of the display panel away from the color filter substrate. First electrodes are formed on a surface of the color filter substrate adjacent to the liquid crystal layer and second electrodes are formed on a surface of a thin film transistor substrate adjacent to the liquid crystal layer. The first electrodes and the second electrodes cooperatively form a first capacitor for sensing touch force, and the second electrodes and the electrically-conductive frame cooperatively form a second capacitor for sensing touch force.

  • Patent number: 9063385
    Abstract: A display panel is provided. The display panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate. The second substrate comprises a center region, a first border region and a second border region. The center region has a first center region edge and a second center region edge. The center region corresponds to an active area for displaying an image of the display panel. The first border region, adjacent to the center region and located outside the first center region edge, has a first border region edge. The second border region, adjacent to the center region and located outside the second center region edge, has a second border region edge. The distance between the first center region edge and the first border region edge is larger than the distance between the second center region edge and the second border region edge.

  • Patent number: 8390611
    Abstract: An image display system includes a gate driving circuit. The gate driving circuit includes several stages of gate drivers each for generating a gate driving signal to drive a row of pixels. Each stage of the gate driver receives a clock signal and a first reset signal. A first stage of the gate driver receives a vertical start pulse as an input signal of the first stage. The remaining stages of the gate drivers respectively receive the gate driving signal generated by a previous stage of the gate driver as the input signal of the remaining stages. Each stage of the gate drivers further receives the gate driving signal generated by a next stage of the gate driver as a second reset signal, and generates the corresponding gate driving signal according to the clock signal, the first reset signal, and the corresponding input signal and second reset signal.
