  • Patent number: 10749037
    Abstract: The present invention provides a LTPS TFT substrate and a manufacturing method thereof. The LIPS TFT substrate of the present invention includes a metal layer formed on a channel zone so that the metal layer, a source electrode, and a drain electrode can be used as a mask to form LDD zones in a poly-silicon layer in order to save the mask needed for separately forming the LDD zones; further, due to the addition of the metal layer that is connected to the channel zone of the poly-silicon layer, the electrical resistance of the channel zone can be effectively reduced to increase a TFT on-state current.

  • Patent number: 10345946
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of display, whereby the technical problem of mura of the touch panel can be solved. In the touch panel, each first signal line, after being electrically connected with a corresponding touch electrode, further extends to one end of the touch panel far from the driving circuit, so that each touch electrode overlaps with a group of first signal lines that are connected with the column of touch electrodes including the touch electrode. The touch panel according to the present disclosure can be used in liquid crystal television, liquid crystal display device, mobile phone, tablet personal computer and other display devices.

  • Patent number: 10262618
    Abstract: A GOA circuit includes GOA circuit units. Each GOA circuit has a holding module A first transistor and a second transistor in the holding module holds the voltage imposed on the first control node to be at high voltage level. Also, the transistors form a direct current passage between the first control node and a first fixed voltage at high voltage level so the voltage imposed on the first control node is not lowered due to electricity leakage. The GOA circuit unit can resolve the problem of easy leakage of electricity. When the scanning signals are output by the GOA circuit unit, the stability is highly ensured.

  • Patent number: 10246719
    Abstract: This disclosure provides genetically modified plants having desirable levels of sugar release and syringyl/guaiacyl (S/G) ratio; methods of genetically modifying plants to modulate sugar release and S/G ratio; and uses of such plants. The inventors have determined that genetic modification of a laccase gene (LAC2) from Populus, encoded by locus Potri.008G064000 resulted in transgenic Populus trees with changes in syringyl/guaiacyl ratios as well as altered sugar release phenotypes. Plants with altered sugar release, and S/G ratio, based on modulation of the expression or activity of the LAC2 gene, have divergent uses including pulp and paper production, and biofuel and bioproducts production.
