  • Publication number: 20240145632
    Abstract: A micro light emitting device includes an epitaxial structure, a conductive layer, and a first insulating layer. The epitaxial structure has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and includes a first semiconductor layer, an active layer and a second semiconductor layer that are arranged in such order in a direction from the first surface to the second surface. The conductive layer is formed on a surface of the first semiconductor layer away from the active layer. The first insulating layer is formed on the surface of the first semiconductor layer away from the active layer, and exposes at least a part of the conductive layer.

  • Patent number: 9580575
    Abstract: A polyethylene article comprises crystalline polyethylene in an orthorhombic unit cell. The b-axes of the crystalline polyethylene are substantially aligned with the machine direction of the article. In particular, the Herman's index of the b-axes in the machine direction is greater than zero and greater than the Herman's indices of the b-axes in both the transverse and normal directions. The unique physical attributes exhibited by a polyethylene article having this new morphology are also described.
