  • Patent number: 10312393
    Abstract: A solar power module includes a solar panel, a metallic frame, a soft insulation glue material, and a hard insulation spacer. The solar panel is embedded in the metallic frame. The metallic frame includes an upper portion, an intermediate portion, and a lower portion. The soft insulation glue material is adapted to wrap at least one portion of an edge of the solar panel. The soft insulation glue material is fixedly disposed in the metallic frame. The soft insulation glue material to wrap the solar panel is divided into an upper part, an intermediate part, and a lower part. The hard insulation spacer is disposed between the solar panel and the lower portion of the metallic frame.

  • Patent number: 9948232
    Abstract: A flexible solar panel module is provided having a plurality of non-flexible solar panels, a plurality of non-flexible covers and a flexible back sheet. Each of the non-flexible solar panels has a photoreactive device layer, a positive ribbon and a negative ribbon. The non-flexible covers correspond to the non-flexible solar panels respectively and are disposed on front surfaces of the non-flexible solar panels. Each of the non-flexible covers is bigger in size than each of the non-flexible solar panels. The flexible back sheet is disposed under back surfaces of the non-flexible solar panels and has a plurality of openings therein. A first water-resistant sealant is disposed between adjacent non-flexible covers and physically contacts the flexible back sheet. A second water-resistant sealant is disposed between the non-flexible covers and the flexible back sheet and covers sidewalls of the non-flexible solar panels.

  • Patent number: 7960742
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an active device array substrate is provided. A substrate having scan lines, data lines and active devices formed thereon is provided. Each of the active devices is electrically connected to the corresponding scan line and data line. An organic material layer is formed over the substrate to cover the scan lines, the data lines and the active devices. Then, a plasma treatment is performed to the surface of the organic material layer to form a number of concave patterns. The dimension of each of the concave patterns is smaller than one micrometer. Afterward, pixel electrodes are formed on the organic material layer and each of the pixel electrodes is electrically connected to one of the corresponding active devices.

  • Publication number: 20060278160
    Abstract: A photoresist coating apparatus comprises a photoresist coating device, a cleaning device and a stage. A substrate is placed on the stage. In a photoresist coating process, the cleaning device removes particles on the substrate first. The photoresist coating device then sprays a photoresist material uniformly on a surface of the substrate.
