  • Patent number: 7488932
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing an atomic beam comprising an ionization chamber, an ion beam drawing device, a neutralization chamber and a voltage regulating device is provided. The ionization chamber generates an ion beam and the ion beam drawing device draws the ion beam out from the ionization chamber. The neutralization chamber and the voltage regulating device are disposed on the path of the ion beam. Moreover, the ion beam drawing device is disposed between the ionization chamber and the neutralization chamber and the voltage regulating device is disposed between the ion beam drawing device and the neutralization chamber. The energy of the ion beam can be reduced by the voltage regulating device. The ion beam is neutralized to a neutral atomic beam after passing through the neutralization chamber. Therefore, the apparatus for producing the atomic beam provided in this invention can effectively produce the neutral atomic beam.

  • Patent number: 7485483
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an active device array substrate is provided. First, a substrate is provided. A pixel array is formed on the substrate. An alignment material layer having a plurality of alignment regions is formed on the pixel array. A mask layer is formed on a portion of the alignment regions on the alignment material layer by using an inkjet printing process, so as to expose another portion of the alignment regions on the alignment material layer. Then, a particle beam alignment process is performed to the exposed alignment material layer. Then, the mask layer is removed. Another mask layer is formed on the alignment material layer which has been treated by the particle beam to expose the alignment material layer not treated by the particle beam. Another particle beam alignment process is performed to the exposed alignment material layer, and then the another mask layer is removed.

  • Patent number: 7439090
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a lower substrate of a liquid crystal display device is disclosed and more particularly, a method for manufacturing a color filter layer on a lower substrate is disclosed. This method is achieved by using a photosensitive insulating layer as a passivation layer or an overcoat of a thin film transistor to reduce the number of masks, or of photographic steps. The photosensitive insulating layer used in the method has the characteristics of both photoresist and passivation layers so as to protect a thin film transistor from moisture and oxygen. In addition, the number of masks, or of photographic steps used in this method can be further reduced by ink-jet printing a color filter layer or by half-tone mask technique.
