  • Publication number: 20240164022
    Abstract: A display module includes a display panel with a plurality of bonding electrodes arranged at intervals along a selected side edge of a non-display surface and divided into two bonding electrode groups, a first flexible circuit board and a second flexible circuit board. For the first flexible circuit board, each first conductive contact piece in a first wiring region is connected to a bonding electrode in a first bonding electrode group. For the second flexible circuit board, each second conductive contact piece in a second wiring region is connected to a bonding electrode in a second bonding electrode group. The first wiring region is closer to the selected side edge than the second wiring region in a first direction. The first fan-out region is spaced apart from the second wiring region in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 11884954
    Abstract: A protein complex based on DNA enzymes of an E family of Escherichia coli and an application thereof in artificial protein scaffolds are provided. The protein complex includes one or more of interaction pairs formed by a CL2 protein and an Im2 protein, a CL7 protein and an Im7 protein, a CL8 protein and an Im8 protein, or a CL9 protein and an Im9 protein. By protein engineering of a carboxyl terminus DNase domain of the DNA enzymes CE2, CE7, CE8 and CE9, mutants that lose DNA enzyme activity but still retain the ultra-high affinity with the corresponding Im protein are obtained, and protein interaction pairs CL2/Im2, CL7/Im7, CL8/Im8 and CL9/Im9 are constructed. These protein interaction pairs have properties of heat resistance, high affinity, high specificity, small molecular weight, fast assembly speed, etc. Based on this, an artificial protein scaffold is constructed for the construction of artificial multienzyme complexes.

  • Patent number: 9048006
    Abstract: A carbon nanotube film includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes. The plurality of carbon nanotubes is arranged approximately along a same first direction. The plurality of carbon nanotubes are joined end to end by van der Waals attractive force therebetween. The carbon nanotube film has a uniform width. The carbon nanotube film has substantially the same density of the carbon nanotubes along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The change in density across the width is within 10 percent. The present application also relates to a carbon nanotube film precursor and a method for making the carbon nanotube film.
