    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fingerprint identifying module, including a circuit board, a fingerprint sensing component, a cover plate, and a waterproof sleeve. The fingerprint sensing component is disposed on the circuit board, and the cover plate covers the fingerprint sensing component. The waterproof sleeve partially covers the cover plate and the circuit board, so as to prevent a foreign liquid from entering a space between the fingerprint sensing component and the circuit board. The cover plate includes a cover plate body and an extending portion. The cover plate body covers the fingerprint sensing component. The extending portion surrounds the cover plate body, is located between the waterproof sleeve and the fingerprint sensing component, and may block the foreign liquid from passing.

  • Patent number: 10276472
    Abstract: A power semiconductor device module includes, among other parts, a DMB structure. The DMB structure includes a ceramic sheet, a top metal plate that is directly bonded to the top of the ceramic, and a bottom metal plate that is directly bonded to the bottom of the ceramic. A power semiconductor device die is attached to the top metal plate. The bottom surface of the bottom metal plate has a plurality small cavities. When the bottom metal plate is attached to another metal member, a material between the plate and the member (for example, thermal grease or a PCM or solder) is forced into the cavities. This results in an improvement in thermal transfer between the plate and the member. Such cavities can alternatively, or in addition, be included on a metal surface other than a DMB, such as the bottom surface of a baseplate of the module.

  • Patent number: 8138549
    Abstract: A system for displaying images is disclosed. A display panel comprises a first substrate and a second substrate with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. A sealant is interposed between the first substrate and a second substrate for sealing the liquid crystal layer. A dielectric layer is overlying the first substrate. Metal lines are overlying the dielectric layer under and/or near the sealant. A planarization layer covers and contacts the dielectric layer and the metal lines to form a first interface between the metal lines and the planarization layer and a second interface between the dielectric layer and the planarization layer. Bridge lines without contacting the planarization layer are disposed under and/or near the sealant, instead of at least a portion of the metal lines contacting the planarization layer.

  • Patent number: 7906794
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lighting device package with one or more light-emitting elements operatively coupled to a substrate and a frame disposed at least in part around the one or more light-emitting elements. The frame and substrate define a cavity in which the one or more light-emitting elements are positioned, wherein this cavity can be substantially enclosed by an optically transmissive system. At least a portion of the cavity can be filled with an encapsulation material. The frame defines one or more passageways, wherein each passageway interconnects the cavity with the outside through an outside port. For example, the outside port can be accessible from the ambient when the lighting device package is in an assembled state, thereby enabling fluidic movement of the encapsulation material into and/or out of the cavity.
