  • Publication number: 20160365465
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a sensor including the following steps and a sensor are provided. An active device and a first insulation layer covering the active device are formed on a substrate. The first insulation layer has a first opening exposing a portion of the active device. A blanket conductive layer is formed on the first insulation layer using a conductive material. The blanket conductive layer is connected to the active device through the first opening. A photoelectric conversion material layer is formed on the blanket conductive layer. A first photoresist pattern formed on photoelectric conversion material layer is served as a mask for patterning the photoelectric conversion material layer into a photoelectric conversion unit. The blanket conductive layer is patterned to form a first electrode disposed in the first opening and electrically connecting the photoelectric conversion unit to the active device.

  • Patent number: 8717347
    Abstract: The electrophoretic display apparatus includes a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, an electrophoresis layer, and a driving module. The driving module has an adsorption mode and a display mode. When an adsorption mode is activated, a first voltage difference is formed between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, resulting in electrostatic adsorption to reduce or eliminate the air gap between the second electrode layer and electrophoresis layer. When a display mode is activated, a second voltage difference is formed between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer. The electrophoresis layer can sense the variation of electric field between the two electrode layers and start the operation of data transmission and display.
