The multi-layer conductive wiring structure includes first and second conductive wirings. The second conductive wirings are connected to the pixel array via the first conductive wirings. An extending direction of the first conductive wirings is substantially different from that of the second conductive wirings. The spacers are distributed at two opposite sides of the sealant and respectively located between two adjacent first conductive wirings.

Abstract: A liquid crystal panel structure and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The liquid crystal panel structure comprises a first substrate, a second substrate, a plurality of ball spacers, and a positioning structure. The second substrate is assembled parallel to the first substrate, and a gap is formed therebetween. The ball spacers are disposed in the gap to space the first substrate and the second substrate. The positioning structure is formed on one of the substrates and has a side collecting portion such that the ball spacers are moved to be located therein. The method for manufacturing the liquid crystal panel structure is to drop a solution which contains the ball spacers on the first substrate or the second substrate. Then, the ball spacers are positioned in the positioning structure after the solution is vaporized and a proper gap between the first and the second substrate is formed accordingly after assembly.

The gate is substantially formed between the source and the drain. The surface of the gate, being in contact with the dielectric layer, has a stepped surface profile, so that the channel length/width ratio can be changed due to the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor.

Abstract: A substrate splitting apparatus and a method for splitting a substrate using the substrate splitting apparatus are provided. The substrate splitting apparatus includes a servo motor, a transmission device, a substrate breaking bar, and a stage. One end of the transmission is directly or indirectly coupled to the servo motor while the other end is coupled with the breaking bar. The stage has a load-lock surface and the load-lock surface faces the breaking bar. The servo motor drives the transmission device to move the breaking bar toward the load-lock surface. A substrate with a pre-crack on the bottom is disposed on the load-lock surface. The servo motor drives the substrate breaking bar to move towards or away from the pre-crack. The method of splitting includes the following steps: forming a pre-crack on the substrate; controlling the servo motor to drive the breaking bar to move towards the substrate; and controlling the breaking bar to press the substrate at the pre-crack.
