  • Publication number: 20160139708
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a touch panel includes a substrate, a plurality of first and second sensing units, a plurality of wirings, a touch circuit unit, and at least one impedance adjustment means. The substrate has an active area and a peripheral area. The sensing units are disposed in the active area. The wirings are disposed in the peripheral area. The first sensing units and the plurality of wirings form first sensing channels, and the second sensing units and the plurality of wirings form second sensing channels. Impedances corresponding to the first or the second sensing channels are adjusted to substantially approximate a consistent impedance by using the impedance adjustment means.

  • Patent number: 7629607
    Abstract: Disclosed is an organic non-volatile memory (ONVM) material including nanoparticles evenly dispersed in a first polymer. The nanoparticles have a metal core covered by a second polymer to form a core/shell structure, and the first polymer has a higher polymerization degree and molecular weight than the second polymer. The ONVM material of the invention has high uniformity, thereby stabilizing the electric properties of the memory device, such as increasing rewrite counts, increasing data retention time, reducing driving voltage, reducing write current, and enhancing current on/off ratio.
