  • Patent number: 11557882
    Abstract: A corona comprises a central electrode surrounded by an insulator, which is surrounded by a conductive component. The conductive component includes a shell and an intermediate part both formed of an electrically conductive material. The intermediate part is a layer of metal which brazes the insulator to the shell. An outer surface of the insulator presents a lower ledge, and the layer of metal can be applied to the insulator above the lower ledge prior to or after inserting the insulator into the shell. The conductive inner diameter is less than an insulator outer diameter directly below the lower ledge such the insulator thickness increases toward the electrode firing end. The insulator outer diameter is also typically less than the shell inner diameter so that the corona igniter can be forward-assembled.

  • Patent number: 11552162
    Abstract: In a transparent display panel, a layer of each of a VSS voltage connection line and a VDD voltage connection line as a power line in a display region is different from a layer of a data line and a reference voltage connection line, while each of the VSS voltage connection line and the VDD voltage connection line partially overlaps the data line and the reference voltage connection line. Thus, an overall width of a line region may be reduced. Thus, an area of a pixel circuit region is reduced, such that an area of a transmissive region increases, thereby to increase an overall transmittance of the panel. Further, a width of each of the VSS voltage connection line and the VDD voltage connection line is large while reducing or minimizing an area of the line region in the display region. This reduces or minimizes occurrence of VDD drop or VSS rise, thereby to reduce luminance non-uniformity of the panel.
