Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel includes a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of data lines perpendicular to and insulatively intersecting the scan lines and a plurality of scanning-signal transmission lines insulatively disposed between the data lines and parallel to the data lines. The scanning-signal transmission lines provide scanning signals to the scan lines.

Also provided is a method of treating Candida albicans biofilm-associated infections, comprising administrating to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of methyl cinnamate.

Abstract: An exemplary active matrix display device includes a display panel comprising a plurality of scanning lines extending along a horizontal axis, a plurality of data lines extending along a vertical axis, and a plurality of dummy data lines. Two scanning lines and two data lines define two display pixels; each of the plurality of data lines is connected to at least two adjacent display pixels along the horizontal axis, and the at least two adjacent display pixels are driven by the two scanning lines, respectively. Each of the plurality of dummy data lines is disposed between two random adjacent data lines and is provided with gray scale voltage signals by a driving circuit of the display panel, thereby forming coupling capacitances between each of the plurality of dummy data lines and two pixel electrodes of the two display pixels.

Abstract: An exemplary TFT array substrate includes an insulating substrate, a gate electrode provided on the insulating substrate, a gate insulating layer covering the gate electrode and the insulating layer, an amorphous silicon (a-Si) pattern formed on the gate insulating layer, a heavily doped a-Si pattern formed on the a-Si pattern, a source electrode formed on the gate insulating layer and the heavily doped a-Si pattern and a drain electrode formed on the gate insulating layer and the heavily doped a-Si pattern. The source electrode and the drain electrode are isolated by a slit formed between the source electrode and the drain electrode, and the a-Si pattern includes a high resistivity portion corresponding to the slit whose resistance is higher than a resistance of the a-Si material.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a piezoelectric ink-jet print-head uses a metallic layer and a thick film layer with a slot hole therein instead of a ceramic vibration plate and an ink layer. The piezoelectric layer and the upper electrode layer are formed inside the ink cavity so that overall thickness of the print head is reduced. To form the ink-jet print head, a metallic layer and a lower electrode layer are sequentially formed over a substrate. A patterned piezoelectric layer and an upper electrode layer are sequentially formed over the lower electrode layer. A patterned thick film layer with a slot hole therein is formed over the metallic layer. The thick film layer and the metallic layer together form a cavity that encloses the piezoelectric layer and the upper electrode layer. A nozzle plate having a nozzle thereon is attached to the thick film layer. The nozzle plate, the thick film layer and the metallic layer together form an ink cavity. The hole in the nozzle is continuous with the ink cavity.

Abstract: A method of forming a nozzle plate of an inkjet print head. A silicon chip is provided with an activated device and a first film is formed on the silicon chip, with a first opening corresponding to the activated device. Then, a second film is formed on the first film. Next, a photoresist layer is formed on the second film, such that the photoresist layer has a second opening corresponding to the first opening. Next, the second film under the second opening of the photoresist layer is etched to form a via in the second film passing through the first opening.

Abstract: A nozzle plate and a method of fabricating a nozzle plate on an inkjet print head are provided. A patterned first nozzle layer is formed over an ink wall layer over the inkjet print head. The first nozzle layer has at least a first opening. The wall of the first opening is treated to form a hydrophilic surface. Thereafter, a patterned second nozzle layer is formed over the first nozzle layer. The second nozzle layer has at least a second opening having connection with the first opening. The wall of the second opening is treated to form a hydrophobic surface. The first nozzle layer and the second nozzle layer together form a nozzle plate. The first opening and the second opening together form a nozzle with the lower section of the wall hydrophilic but the upper section of the wall hydrophobic.
