  • Publication number: 20210265603
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to methods for forming an organic light emitting diode (OLED) device. Forming the OLED device comprises depositing a first barrier layer on a substrate having an OLED structure disposed thereon. A first sublayer of a buffer layer is then deposited on the first barrier layer. The first sublayer of the buffer layer is cured with a mixed gas plasma. Curing the first sublayer comprises generating water from the mixed gas plasma in a process chamber in which the curing occurs. The deposition of the first sublayer and the curing of the first sublayer is repeated one or more times to form a completed buffer layer. A second barrier layer is then deposited on the completed buffer layer.

  • Publication number: 20190097175
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally related to a method for manufacturing an encapsulating structure for a display device, more particularly, for manufacturing a TFE structure including a light scattering layer. The TFE structure further includes one or more barrier layers. All layers of the TFE structure are formed in a PECVD apparatus. The light scattering layer is formed by a PECVD process, in which a silicon containing precursor and a nitrogen containing precursor are introduced into the PECVD apparatus. The flow rate of the silicon containing precursor is equal to or greater than the flow rate of the nitrogen containing precursor. The light scattering layer enhances light out-coupling from a light emitting device disposed under the TFE structure.

  • Patent number: 9558543
    Abstract: An image fusion method and an image processing apparatus are provided. A first image is generated based on a first photographing parameter, and a second image is generated based on a second photographing parameter. A first pixel reference value of each of first pixels is calculated by using a self-define mask according to color components and a luminance component of the first pixels on the first image. A second pixel reference value of each of second pixels is calculated by using the self-define mask according to color components and a luminance component of the second pixels on the second image. A synthesizing reference map recording a plurality of synthesizing weights is obtained by comparing the first pixel reference value and the corresponding second pixel reference value. A fusion image is obtained by synthesizing the first image and the second image according to the synthesizing reference map.

  • Patent number: 9418610
    Abstract: An exemplary liquid crystal display (LCD) provides data lines, gate lines, and pixel units arranged as a matrix array. A method for driving the LCD includes a step of analyzing and determining polarities of one column of the pixel units as determining pixels, thereby defining a first polarity group and a second polarity group, and a step of sequentially applying corresponding data signals to a part of the whole pixel units that are arranged at same rows with the first polarity group in a part of a period of a frame. Corresponding data signals are sequentially applied to the other part of the whole pixel units that are arranged at same rows with the second polarity group in another part of a period of a frame.
