Publication number: 20120200337Abstract: A hybrid touch device includes a direct touch unit and an indirect touch unit disposed at two sides respectively. The direct touch unit includes a base layer, a sensing line layer, a driving line layer, a bonding layer, and a covering layer. The indirect touch unit includes a first conducting layer, a second conducting layer, and a plurality of spacers between the first conducting layer and the second conducting layer. An optically clear adhesive (OCA) layer is disposed between the direct touch unit and the indirect touch unit. The base layer of the direct touch unit is a conductive film. A shielding layer is disposed between the conductive film and the OCA layer. The second conducting layer of the indirect touch unit is a thin conductive glass.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2011Publication date: August 9, 2012Applicant: GETAC TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Tzu-Chi Liu, James Hwang

Publication number: 20120193014Abstract: Methods and systems for reinforcing the periphery of a semiconductor wafer bonded to a carrier are disclosed. In one embodiment, additional adhesive is applied to the semiconductor wafer prior to bonding. The additional adhesive seeps into a crevice between the carrier and wafer and provides reinforcement. In another embodiment, adhesive is applied to the crevice by a dispenser after the wafer is bonded to the glass carrier.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2011Publication date: August 2, 2012Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: SARAH H.

Publication number: 20120194898Abstract: A display device includes a substrate, a driving circuit, an E-paper display layer and a protective coating layer. The driving circuit is arranged on the substrate. The E-paper display layer is disposed on and driven by the driving circuit. The protective coating layer is coated on and in contact with the E-paper display layer. The protective coating layer can provide protection and better optical performance, and it is advantageous to the manufacturing method to overcome the problems such as bubbles and low light transmittance occurring in the conventional manufacturing method.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2012Publication date: August 2, 2012Applicant: E Ink Holdings Inc.Inventors: Yao-Chou TSAI, Chia-Chun YEH, Fang-An SHU, Ted-Hong SHINN
