Patents by Inventor CHUNG-YU YU

CHUNG-YU YU has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12163242
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing colorful thermal insulation films is provided. A substrate is connected with a metal adhesion layer and then the metal adhesion layer is connected with a porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) layer. A porosity of the AAO layer is changed by pore-widening. Thereby the thermal insulation film produced shows the color by the structure color of the AAO layer. Thus no dyes and organic compounds are required to be added during manufacturing process and environmental pollution caused by these substances can be avoided. The pore-widening changes the porosity of the AAO layer and further provides convenient color adjustment so that the colorful thermal insulation film with different colors can be produced easily. Besides providing attractive appearance, the colorful thermal insulation film filters out light with specific wavelengths.

  • Publication number: 20230303879
    Abstract: An invisible ink and a method of making the same are revealed. The invisible ink includes anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) powder and at least one solvent. The method of making the invisible ink includes the steps of taking an aluminum substrate and carrying out anodic oxidation on the aluminum substrate at least once to form an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) layer on a surface of the aluminum substrate, separating the AAO layer from the aluminum substrate and pulverizing the separated AAO layer to get AAO powder, and adding the AAO powder into a solvent to obtain the invisible ink.

  • Patent number: 10947634
    Abstract: A method for preparing invisible anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) patterns is revealed. The method includes a plurality of steps. First take an aluminum substrate. Then anodize the aluminum substrate for the first time to get a first anodic aluminum oxide (AAO). Next perform photolithography so that a photoresist forms a pattern on the aluminum substrate with the first AAO. Lastly anodize the aluminum substrate for the second time so that a second AAO is formed on the pattern and the pattern becomes invisible.
