  • Patent number: 11113020
    Abstract: A display system includes a display module and a controller. The display module is configured to display a first frame including a part image, wherein the part image is located in a first region of the first frame. The controller is configured on the display module and is configured to capture the part image of the first frame and displays the part image in a second region different from the first region.

  • Publication number: 20160339352
    Abstract: An assembly toy includes first, second and third units. Each of the first, second and third units is substantially flat and elongated when the assembly toy is at a pre-assembled state, and is folded into a rectangular hollow prism when the assembly toy is at an assembled state. The third unit has a main portion and two spaced-apart connecting portions extending from an edge of the main portion. The second unit has two opposite decorating parts and is sleeved in the first unit in such manner that the decorating parts are exposed from the first unit when the assembly toy is at the assembled state. The connecting portions of the third unit are coupled to the first unit when the assembly toy is at the assembled state.

  • Patent number: 8822882
    Abstract: A process and system scribe sapphire substrates, by performing the steps of mounting a sapphire substrate, carrying an array of integrated device die, on a stage such as a movable X-Y stage including a vacuum chuck; and directing UV pulses of laser energy directed at a surface of the sapphire substrate using a solid state laser and locating edges of the substrate. The cutting is stopped based on the edge location, to prevent impacting background elements. The pulses of laser energy have a wavelength below about 560 nanometers, and preferably between about 150 in 560 nanometers. In addition, energy density, spot size, and pulse duration are established at levels sufficient to induce ablation of sapphire.

  • Patent number: 7408971
    Abstract: A laser apparatus for producing a laser light beam can include a gain medium; a pump light source to provide a pump light beam to the gain medium; a first reflector disposed between the first gain medium and the first pump light source and spaced apart from a gain portion of the first gain medium; a second reflector; and an output coupler. The first reflector is substantially reflective to the laser light beam and substantially transmissive to the pump light beam. The first and second reflectors and the output coupler define a folded beam path having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the beam path extends from the first reflector to the second reflector through the gain medium and the second portion of the beam path extends from the first reflector to the output coupler through the gain medium. The first and second beam paths define, within the gain medium, a non-zero folding angle.

In addition, energy density, spot size, and pulse duration are established at levels sufficient to induce ablation of sapphire. Control of the system, such as by moving the stage with a stationary beam path for the pulses, causes the pulses to contact the sapphire substrate in a scribe pattern at a rate of motion causing overlap of successive pulses sufficient to cut scribe lines in the sapphire substrate.

  • Patent number: 7169688
    Abstract: A method and system for cutting a wafer comprising a semiconductor substrate attached to an array of integrated devices includes placing the wafer on a stage such as a movable X-Y stage including a vacuum chuck having a porous mounting surface, and securing the wafer during and after cutting by vacuum pressure through the pores. The wafer is cut by directing UV pulses of laser energy at the substrate using a solid-state laser having controlled polarization. An adhesive membrane can be attached to the separated die to remove them from the mounting surface, or the die can otherwise be removed after cutting from the wafer.

  • Patent number: 6940888
    Abstract: A laser system includes a resonator having two gain modules generating pulses, coupled with intra-cavity polarization into a single beam line, using a single output coupler. A laser controller controls the laser heads to emit pulses in rapid succession, such as pulse pairs separated by a time interval of less than about 1 millisecond, and in some embodiments in a range from about zero (overlapping) to about 100 microseconds. Also a system adapted for metrology using particle image velocimetry PIV uses the resonator. For PIV, optics are provided in the output beam paths which expand the beam to form pulsed illumination sheets. A camera is used to capture images of the pulsed illumination sheets for analysis.
