  • Patent number: 9269904
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing large-area organic solar cells utilizes a hot solvent vapor annealing manufacturing process while manufacturing the organic solar cells via a large-area proceeding method, such as spraying. Namely, a heated solvent vapor is utilized to modify an active layer after the active layer of the organic solar cells is formed, which ensures a flatness and an uniformity thereof and increases a crystallinity of the active layer and an element charge transport rate so that a power conversion efficiency of the large area organic solar cells is increased, a proceeding time is quite short, and the performance thereof is quite obvious. Therefore, the method not only reduces the cost by a large area production but obtains organic solar cells with higher conversion efficiency.

  • Patent number: 9030104
    Abstract: A method and system for adjusting power supply and display screen brightness of an electronic device with a thin-film solar panel are introduced. The method includes configuring the electronic device with a first threshold level and a second threshold level, wherein the first threshold level and the second threshold level are voltage levels or current levels; attaching the thin-film solar panel to a casing of the electronic device for enabling the electronic device to convert an external light into a transformed voltage or current; and determining whether the transformed voltage or current lies between the first threshold level and the second threshold level to decide whether to allow the display screen to operate at an existing brightness level thereof continuously. The method and system enable the electronic device to receive the external light for supplementing power supple and sense the external light for adjusting power level.

  • Publication number: 20140116510
    Abstract: A bulk heterojunction solar cell comprises an electron donor, an electron acceptor, and a multi-substituted fullerene derivative. The electron acceptor further comprises a nano-scale electron acceptor material, and a meso-scale mixture of electron donor/acceptor material. The multi-substituted fullerene derivative further comprises a single fullerene structure and a multi-substituted derivative connected to the single fullerene structure. The multi-substituted fullerene derivative is utilized to prevent the meso-scale mixture of electron donor/acceptor material from large-scale segregation of acceptor over a specific temperature after a specific period (thermally unstable state), thereby maintaining the thermal stability and the sizes of the nano-scale acceptor material and meso-scale mixture of electron donor/acceptor material. In the conventional knowledge, the large-scale segregation and corresponding degradation of power efficiency are cause mainly by the nano-scale acceptor material.

  • Publication number: 20090315807
    Abstract: This present invention discloses a multi-display operating system and method thereof, which are applied to operate a plurality of screens respectively displayed on a plurality of display apparatuses, and these screens respectively display the interface image of at least one application program. The invention is characterized in that a focused screen is decided from these screens based on the location of a cursor on these screens or a focus switching signal, and then the operating signal inputted from the user will be only transmitted to the application program which is displayed on the focused screen, and only audio signal generated by the application program displayed on the focused screen will be outputted. Besides, the user also can choose two screens to swap. Therefore, the multi-display operating system and its method in accordance with the present invention allow users to operate the application programs displayed on the multiple screens more efficiently.
