  • Publication number: 20070262325
    Abstract: A wavelength converting material including a wavelength converting activator and a scatter is provided. The wavelength converting activator is suitable for being activated by a light with a wavelength ?1, so as to emit a light with a wavelength ?2. The scatter is disposed on the wavelength converting activator. The scatter is suitable for scattering a first light and a second light irradiated to a surface thereof. As a result of that the scatters on the wavelength converting activators increases the gap of two wavelength converting activators adjacent to each other, the wavelength converting activators could be sufficiently activated for emitting a light with wavelength ?2 while the wavelength converting materials are irradiated by the light with ?1. Therefore, the brightness of a light emitting diode with the wavelength converting material is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7270446
    Abstract: A light module comprises a light unit, a heat transferring plate or a plurality of heat transferring pipes, and a plurality of heat dissipating fins. The heat transferring plate or heat transferring pipes are positioned on the bottom surface of the light unit to transfer heat generated by the light unit. When the heat transferring plate is used, the heat dissipating fins are arranged under the heat transferring plate and perpendicular to the bottom surface of the heat transferring plate. The heat dissipating fins have a recess for the accommodation of the heat transferring plate and the light unit. When the heat transferring pipes are used, the heat dissipating fins each contact the heat transferring pipes. Uniform heat dissipation is thus attained.

  • Publication number: 20070117290
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a low temperature polysilicon film is provided. A first metal layer is formed on a substrate; and openings have been formed in the first metal layer. A second metal layer is formed on the first metal layer: and a hole corresponding to each of the openings is formed in the second metal layer. A silicon layer is formed on the second metal layer; a silicon seed is formed on the substrate inside each of the holes. After removing the first and the second metal layers, an amorphous silicon layer is formed on the substrate by using the silicon seed. Then a laser crystallization step is performed to form a polysilicon layer from the amorphous layer. Since the position of the silicon seed can be controlled, the size and distribution of the silicon grain and the number of the silicon crystal interface can also be controlled.

  • Patent number: 6902961
    Abstract: A method of forming a CMOS thin film transistor device. A dry etching procedure is performed to remove part of a photoresist layer and part of a metal layer and thus forms a gate with a symmetrical cone shape and a remaining photoresist layer. The dielectric layer is thus exposed in the lightly doped area. Specially, the bottom width of the first gate is narrower than that of the first metal layer and the symmetrical cone shape is gradually thinner from bottom to top. Using the gate as a mask, an n?-ion implantation is performed to form a self-aligned and symmetrical LDD region in a semiconductor layer without additional photolithography steps.
