  • Patent number: 7486101
    Abstract: A method provides for inspecting flexible display medium layer, on which a driving electrode structure to be formed is not complete or there is no driving electrode structure. The flexible display medium layer passes an inspection area. Then, the inspected method is applied to inspect a performance of the flexible display medium layer on a corresponding region being passing the inspection area. The inspected results are recorded, in which the information for indicating a functional performance of the flexible display medium layer is recorded or shown according to a performance level. An apparatus can inspect the flexible display medium layer in accordance with the foregoing method.

  • Patent number: 7417789
    Abstract: The present invention provides a solar-pumped active device which utilizes a holographic antenna grating on a solar energy silicon substrate to select specific diffracted wavelength and couple pump wavelength in an approximately vertical way and converge the pump wavelength to excite an optical gain medium so that an optical amplifier or a laser can be obtained. The present invention requires no big size and is flexible over the surface shape and is suitable for free space optical communications on the ground and satellite optical communications. It means that the holographic antenna grating can be applied on the top floor of a building or on the glass surface of an outer wall. If it is applied to a satellite, the present invention can be deposited on a solar energy cell substrate to form a high optical amplification so that not only the electricity required in satellite optical communications can be reduced, but also a high-speed and large capacity of data can be transferred between satellites.

  • Publication number: 20070138679
    Abstract: A method for continuously bending a flexible device is suitable in use for inspecting a physical property of a flexible device in different curvatures fast. The method includes bending the flexible device to make a part of it be in an intended curvature. And it is at an inspection position. Further, the flexible device is moved, so as to make at least a portion of the flexible panel to pass the inspection position with the intended curvature. Further, the invention also provides an apparatus implemented with the foregoing method. The flexible device can be an inspected device itself or an inspected device held by a flexible carrier.

  • Patent number: 5486311
    Abstract: An optically erasable read-and-write liquid crystal/side-chain liquid crystalline polymer composition, and method of making recordation on the same, are disclosed. The liquid crystal/side-chain liquid crystalline polymer composition of the present invention comprises: (1) from 45% to 85% of a nematic type ester-based liquid crystal and (2) from 15% to 55% of side-chain polymethylsiloxane liquid crystalline polymer having a molecular weight between about 4,000 to 10,000. The side-chain polymethylsiloxane polymer is prepared by graft-polymerization of a biphenyl derivative having a terminal saturated or unsaturated alkyl group, which can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical, with a polymethylsiloxane to form the liquid crystal side-chain polymethylsiloxane polymer of the present invention. Data are recordable on the recording medium of the present invention using a laser beam heating, and are erasable by applying an external electrical field.
