  • Publication number: 20240306438
    Abstract: Provided are an array substrate and a method for manufacturing the array substrate, a display panel and a display device, belonging to the field of display technologies. The array substrate includes a base substrate and a driving thin-film transistor disposed on the base substrate. The driving thin-film transistor includes a first gate, a first insulating layer, a first active layer, a second insulating layer, and a first source/drain electrode which are sequentially laminated on the base substrate. The thickness of the first insulating layer is greater than the thickness of the second insulating layer. Therefore, the regulating ability of the first gate of the driving thin-film transistor over the first active layer is reduced, and the subthreshold swing of the driving thin-film transistor is increased, thereby improving the adjusting ability of the driving thin-film transistor over the grayscale of the light-emitting device on the display panel.

  • Publication number: 20230297631
    Abstract: The technology provides a rich attention mechanism for structured information extraction of web pages and other electronic documents. An input layer of a model obtains system, information associated with the document, including field tokens representing respective fields to be extracted from the document, structured document type tokens associated, and text tokens from a text sequence in the document. An encoder connects the field tokens, the S type tokens and the text tokens according to a set of different attention patterns. The encoder generates an overall token representation based on the set of different attention patterns. An output layer of the model extracts a final text span for the each of the respective fields from the set of text tokens. The extracted final text span for each of the respective fields is stored in memory, and can be produced in response to a search query, analytics evaluation or other request.
