Abstract: A liquid crystal panel including an array substrate and a color filter substrate which are disposed opposite and multiple fan-out lines and a color resist layer stacked along a direction from the array substrate toward the color filter substrate. The color film substrate is provided with a common electrode layer. A color resist layer and a columnar spacer are mutually abutted to ensure a distance between the array substrate and the color filter. The color resist layer includes a first plane facing the columnar spacer, and the common electrode line or the common electrode layer surrounds the color resist layer and exposes the first plane. When the liquid crystal panel is subjected to a larger external force such that deformation or displacement occurs between the columnar spacer and the color resist layer, the common electrode line and the common electrode layer are not conductive to form a short circuit.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a micro high-pressure air compressor comprising a housing and an air compression mechanism and a drive mechanism mounted in the housing. The air compression mechanism is composed of a low-pressure cylinder, a high-pressure cylinder, a primary piston, a secondary piston, a piston rod and a pressure cylinder. The drive mechanism drives the piston rod to enable the primary piston and the secondary piston to perform piston movement in the annular piston chamber between the low-pressure cylinder and high-pressure cylinder and in the high-pressure cylinder respectively, so that the air is compressed in the annular piston chamber at the first stage, in the pressure cylinder at the second stage and in the high-pressure cylinder at the third stage. The present disclosure performs three-stage air compression, featuring large maximum working pressure, small size, light weight, low cost and portability.
