Abstract: Disclosed is a display device. The display device of the present disclosure may include: a display panel; a frame which is located in a rear of the display panel and to which the display panel is coupled; a substrate which is located between the display panel and the frame and coupled to the frame; and a plurality of light sources which are mounted on the substrate and spaced apart from each other, wherein the substrate may include: an elongated first plate; and a plurality of second plates which extend from the first plate in a direction intersecting with a length direction of the first plate, and are spaced apart from each other in the length direction of the first plate.

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for aligning multiple parts using simultaneous scanning of features of different parts and using feature-based coordinate systems for determining relative positions of these. Specifically, a feature-based coordinate system may be constructed using one or more critical dimensions between features of different parts. The scanner may be specifically positioned to capture each of these critical dimensions precisely. The feature-based coordinate system is used to compare the critical dimensions to specified ranges. The position of at least one part may be adjusted based on results of this comparison using, for example, a robotic manipulator. The process may be repeated until all critical dimensions are within their specified ranges. In some embodiments, multiple sets of features from different parts are used such that each set uses its own feature-based coordinate system. The part adjustment may be performed based on the collective output from these multiple sets.

Abstract: Composite prepreg plies are formed and compacted on a contoured tool by a compliant former device using compaction force applied by a vacuum diaphragm. The former device is configured to first clamp and then sweep the plies over features of the tool in a desired sequence.

Abstract: A method for initial separation of an adhered backing film from an uncured pre-impregnated composite lamina having an edge includes exposing and supporting the edge of the composite lamina, and applying an impact force to the exposed edge with an automated tool. The impact force is sufficient to cause delamination of the backing film from the composite lamina without damaging the lamina.
