Abstract: A CMOS light sensor and the operation method thereof are disclosed. The CMOS light sensor has a plurality of light sensing lines and a plurality of capacitor lines. Each light sensing line has a plurality of light sensors such that the number of capacitors in each capacitor line is smaller than the number of light sensing cells in each light sensing line. The capacitors are used for holding a portion of the potentials produced by the light sensing cells due to illumination. The method of operating the CMOS light sensor includes transferring the data captured by the light sensing line to the capacitor line and reading out the data according to a pre-defined order so that the leakage of charges from the capacitor is reduced.

Abstract: A front plate of a plasma display panel (PDP) comprising a glass substrate, a auxiliary electrode formed in the glass substrate, and a protecting electrode over the auxiliary electrode is disclosed. The auxiliary electrode is inlaid in the glass substrate or in a buffer layer formed atop the glass substrate. The protecting electrode is formed to prevent a bonding auxiliary electrode of the auxiliary electrode from being oxidized easily during a high temperature process. Another front plate of a PDP is disclosed and includes a glass substrate, a sustaining electrode on the glass substrate, an auxiliary electrode on the sustaining electrode, and a protecting electrode disposed on the auxiliary electrode. Again, the protecting electrode is formed to prevent the bonding auxiliary electrode of the auxiliary electrode from being oxidized easily during a high temperature process.

Abstract: A multi-domain liquid crystal display (LCD) has a plurality of wall-bump structures formed on a common electrode layer on a substrate. Each wall-bump structure consists of at least one wall-bump disposed in a pixel area. Wall-bumps of many different shapes can be used in the wall-bump structure. The wall-bump structure is manufactured by a standard photo-lithographic process. It provides pre-tilted angles for liquid crystal molecules and results in orderly alignment of liquid crystal molecules when an external voltage is applied. By means of the fringe field effect to tilt liquid crystal molecules, a multi-domain LCD cell can be established after a voltage is applied. The multi-domain LCD provides fast response speed for its application and higher transmittance than a conventional vertically aligned wide-viewing angle LCD.

Abstract: A method of forming a semiconductor device having reduced interconnect-line parasitic capacitance is provided. The method includes the following steps. First, a substrate is provided and a plurality of interconnect lines are formed on the substrate. A barrier layer is then formed. Next, the barrier layer is hardened and thinned so as to make the barrier layer having a thin-film attribute. Following that, a separation layer is formed by filling the space between and above the interconnect lines with a dielectric. Then, the dielectric is foamed. After that, an insulating layer is formed. Finally, the dielectric is condensed such that air gaps are formed in the separation layer.

Abstract: A multi-domain liquid crystal display has at least one wall bump structure formed on one of pixel and common electrode layers. Each wall bump structure has a plurality of boundaries and the opposite sides of the boundaries are not parallel to each other. One of the electrode layers may be formed with openings. The non-parallel boundaries of the wall bump structures cause various pre-tilted directions for the liquid crystals filling the gap between two substrates. The viewing angle of the liquid crystal display is increased and the stability of the multi-domain effect is enhanced with the wall bump structures. The liquid crystals may be aligned vertically, horizontally, tilted with an angle, or reverse tilted with an angle using a mask rubbing process or a photo aligned method. If wall bump structures are formed on both pixel and common electrode layers, they may overlap each other.

Abstract: A front plate of a plasma display panel includes a substrate, a transparent electrode formed on the substrate, and an auxiliary electrode having a first part formed on the transparent electrode and a second part directly formed on the substrate, a dielectric layer formed on the transparent electrode and the first part of the auxiliary electrode, and an isolating layer formed between the substrate and the auxiliary electrode, at a position where the boundary of the dielectric layer intersects the upper surface of the auxiliary electrode. The isolating layer can prevent the auxiliary electrode from being peeled from the substrate.

The electrode structure includes a first sustaining electrode, a second sustaining electrode, and an auxiliary electrode. The first and second sustaining electrodes are formed on the substrate with a first gap existing there between. The auxiliary electrode is formed in the first gap. A second gap is formed between the auxiliary electrode and the second sustaining electrode. The second gap is smaller than the first gap.

Abstract: A plasma display panel device which can enlarge the bright region of a PDP with a given pixel size is provided. The auxiliary electrode of the plasma display panel device contacts not only the transparent electrode but also the substrate in order to avoid the auxiliary electrode being peeled off during the manufacturing process. Furthermore, the position of the auxiliary electrode is changed so the bright region between the pair of auxiliary electrodes is enlarged.
