  • Patent number: 11296153
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an organic light emitting diode pixel structure and an organic light emitting diode display panel including the same. The organic light emitting diode pixel structure includes a driving circuit layer, a light emitting function layer, and a color resist layer. The driving circuit layer includes pixel driving circuits. The color resist layer includes color resists arranged in an array. The pixel driving circuits are disposed in interval regions outside long sides of the color resists. Because size of the pixel driving circuits is much larger than a width of traces, each width between adjacent pixels is increased. This avoids light leakage caused by pixel intervals being too small.

  • Publication number: 20210047624
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a culture system for chemical induction of pluripotent stem cells, comprising a basic culture medium and a composition for performing chemical induction of reprogramming process. The said composition comprises a thymine analogue, a cAMP activator, a TGF-? receptor inhibitor, a bone morphogenetic protein, a RA receptor activator, a GSK3 inhibitor and a basic fibroblast growth factor. And the said culture system is free of serum. By using the culture system as described herein, there is no need to frequently replate cells during culture, such that culturing process is simplified and loss of cells resulting from replating cells is reduced. As the culture system is free of serum, subsequent collection of pluripotent stem cells and molecular mechanism analysis are simplified, thereby facilitating establishment of no animal origin culture systems for induction of pluripotent stem cells.
