  • Publication number: 20150257214
    Abstract: An LED lighting device includes first through third luminescent devices and first through third current controllers. The first and second luminescent devices are driven by a rectified AC voltage for providing light of a first color. The third luminescent device is driven by the rectified AC voltage for providing light of a second color different from the first color. The first through third current controllers are configured to regulate the current flowing through the first through third current controllers according to a first current setting, a second current setting and a third current setting, respectively. The color rendering index of the LED lighting device can thus be adjusted flexibly.

  • Patent number: 8153495
    Abstract: A thin film transistor (TFT) formed on a substrate includes a polycrystalline film, a gate insulator, a hydrogen-supplying film and a gate electrode. The polycrystalline film is formed on the substrate. Two sides of the polycrystalline film serve as the source and the drain of the semiconductor device, and the central region of the polycrystalline layer serves as the channel. The gate insulator is formed on the polycrystalline film, then the polycrystalline film is ions implanted, and the hydrogen-supplying film is formed on the gate insulator. The gate electrode is formed on the hydrogen-supplying film above the channel. The hydrogen-supplying film supplies hydrogen to the polycrystalline film, especially to the channel, so as to transform the unsaturated bonds into hydrogen bonds in the channel for avoiding the unsaturated bonds to degrade the charge carrier efficiency of the channel.
