  • Publication number: 20170068142
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an array substrate, a display panel and a display device. The array substrate includes gate regions, gate lines, data lines, pixel electrodes and common electrode lines. The common electrode lines and the gate lines have the same extension direction, the pixel electrodes are located in regions defined by adjacent gate lines and adjacent data lines, the gate lines traverse the gate regions in the extension direction that are located in the same row as the gate lines, and the pixel electrodes have a gap from the gate lines at ends thereof closer to the gate lines. As such, a portion of the gate region that extends to the pixel region has a reduced area and hence a reduced edge length. This way, during the cleaning of the active layer after formation, less active layer metal may remain at the edges of the gate region. Thereby, the array substrate fabrication process is improved, and a product yield rate of the array substrate is increased.

  • Publication number: 20150277527
    Abstract: This invention discloses a control module of a USB hub. The USB hub utilizes an output switch to selectively output a supplying power through a power supply output and utilizes a capacitor to stabilize a voltage at the power supply output. The control module includes: a switch; a discharge resistor, which is coupled to the capacitor via the switch; a control unit for generating a power control signal; and a logic circuit, which controls the output switch whether to output the supplying power or not and controls the conduction state of the switch according to the power control signal. When the power control signal indicates that the logic circuit should control the output switch not to output the supplying power, the logic circuit controls the switch to be on so that the capacitor discharges through the discharge resistor, causing the voltage at the power supply output to decrease.
