  • Publication number: 20070171668
    Abstract: A backlight structure comprises a light-guide plate and a light source module. There is a light-entering surface, which is a burnished surface, on one side of the light-guide plate. Besides, there is an effective light-emitting area on the light source module, and there is a distance between the centerline of which area and that of the light-entering surface. Thereby, the luminance on the bottom-left corner of the backlight structure is made identical to the luminance on the bottom-right corner by increasing the propagation ranges of the light on the bottom-left and the bottom-right corners as a result of a burnish surface as well as of asymmetrically adapting the light source module.

  • Publication number: 20060175290
    Abstract: An pure H2O stripping process for etched metal wafers effectively solves the metal corrosion deficiencies induced by O2, N2 plasma charging. The pure H2O plasma stripping releases and neutralizes the storage of positive charge accumulated in the wafer, reduces chlorine concentration, and effectively strips the photoresist and etching residue. Thereby reducing metal corrosion and increases the anti-metal corrosion window. The pure H2O plasma stripping requires no additional equipment and or steps.
