  • Patent number: 11556032
    Abstract: The invention refers to a diffusion plate and a backlight module having the diffusion plate. The diffusion plate comprises a plate-body and a plurality of pyramid-like structures arranged on a surface of the plate-body. Each pyramid-like structure has a bottom surface, a first convex portion and a second convex portion. The first convex portion and the second convex portion have different vertex angles, and therefore the pyramid-like structure can also be called as “pyramid-like structure with multiple vertex angles”. The pyramid-like structures with multiple vertex angles can increase the light splitting points, which can improve the light splitting effect of the diffusion plate. The light source of a single light-emitting diode can be divided into eight point-light sources (light splitting points) or more, which is double the number of light splitting points compared with the traditional pyramid structure with single vertex, and thus can greatly improve the light diffusion effect.

  • Publication number: 20220238644
    Abstract: Coupled polysilicon guard rings for enhancing breakdown voltage in a power semiconductor device are presented herein. Polysilicon guard rings are disposed above the power device drift region and electrically coupled to power device regions (e.g., device diffusions) so as to spread electric fields associated with an operating voltage. Additionally, PN junctions (i.e., p-type and n-type junctions) are formed within the polysilicon guard rings to operate in reverse bias with a low leakage current between the power device regions (e.g., device diffusions). Low leakage current may advantageously enhance the electric field spreading without deleteriously affecting existing (i.e., normal) power device performance; and enhanced electric field spreading may in turn reduce breakdown-voltage drift.
