  • Publication number: 20140285020
    Abstract: The portable power supply contains a circuit unit and a rechargeable battery. The circuit unit contains a conversion circuit, an AC output port, a DC input/output port, and a coupling port. The rechargeable battery is coupled to the coupling port. The DC electricity stored in the rechargeable battery is delivered to the circuit unit through the coupling port, and then to a first branch and a second branch. Following the first branch, the DC electricity is transformed a pre-determined AC voltage by the conversion circuit, and the AC voltage is delivered to an external electronic device through the AC output port. Following the second branch, the DC electricity is directly delivered to another external electronic device through the DC input/output port. Without connecting the external electronic device, the DC input/output port is capable of connecting to an external DC power source for charging the rechargeable battery.

  • Publication number: 20140073075
    Abstract: A method for separating a light-emitting diode (LED) from a substrate comprises the following steps. First, a substrate is provided which includes a junction surface and a bottom surface far away from the junction surface. Then a plurality holes are formed on the junction surface. An LED structure is further grown on the junction surface, and includes a junction portion bonded to the junction surface. The bottom surface is then polished to be shrunk to communicate with the holes. Finally, the junction portion is etched by an etching liquid via the holes to separate the LED structure from the substrate. Accordingly, by forming the holes, the LED structure and the substrate can be separated through polishing and etching processes, thereby providing a high yield rate as well as reduced production costs.

  • Publication number: 20130292734
    Abstract: An electric contact structure adopted for an LED comprises a nitride middle layer and an N-type metal electrode layer. The LED includes an N-type semiconductor layer, a light emission layer and a P-type semiconductor layer that are stacked to form a sandwich structure. The nitride middle layer is patterned and formed on the N-type semiconductor layer. The N-type metal electrode layer is formed on the nitride middle layer and prevented from being damaged by diffusion of the metal ions as the nitride middle layer serves as a blocking interface, thus electric property of the N-type semiconductor layer can be maintained stable. The nitride middle layer would not be softened and condensed due to long-term high temperature, thereby is enhanced adhesion. Moreover, the N-type metal electrode layer further can be prevented from peeling off, hence is increased the lifespan of the LED.
