  • Publication number: 20080072957
    Abstract: A solar cell unit. The solar cell unit includes a first tubulate structure, an electron transfer layer coated thereon, a second tubulate structure, a metal layer coated thereon, a space formed between the first and second tubulate structures, a dye layer coated on the electron transfer layer, and an electrolyte filled in the space, wherein the diameters of the first and second tubulate structures are different and the electron transfer layer is opposite to the metal layer. The invention also provides a module including a plurality of the solar cell units.

  • Publication number: 20070069621
    Abstract: A method for fabricating an anode plate of field emission luminescent device is provided. The method includes the steps of forming a metal layer on a substrate by using the physical or chemical deposition, printing a pattered protection layer on the metal layer, and sintering the pattered protection layer and oxidizing a potion of the metal layer, which is not covered by the pattered protection layer, so as to form a pattered electrode on the metal layer.

  • Publication number: 20070069620
    Abstract: A novel electrode pattern design for the electrode plate of field emission device is provided. The electrode plate includes an active region having thereon an electrode layer and a non-active region having thereon a dummy structure or dummy electrode. The material of the dummy electrode is selected from one of the electrode layer materials or the material of the dummy electrode has a coefficient of thermal expansion approximately approaching what the electrode layer material has, so that the stress concentration effect occurring in the non-active region can be eliminated.
