  • Publication number: 20190019870
    Abstract: A thin film transistor array panel includes a first conductive layer (102) including a gate electrode; a channel layer (104) disposed over the gate; and a second conductive layer (105) disposed over the channel layer (104). The second conductive layer (105) includes a multi-layered portion defining a source electrode (105a) and a drain electrode (105b), which includes a first sub-layer (105-1), a second sub-layer (105-2), and a third sub-layer (105-3) sequentially disposed one over another. Both the third and the first sub-layers (105-3, 105-1) include indium and zinc oxide materials. An indium to zinc content ratio in the first sub-layer (105-1) is greater than that in the third sub-layer (105-3).

  • Patent number: 10125518
    Abstract: A handle mechanism used for driving a lock module in operation includes a handle, a linking member and a transmission rod, wherein the linking member is selectively engaged with the handle and the transmission rod. The handle is unable to drive the lock module in operation by the transmission rod driving and prevents the lock module from damage once an excessive force is applied to the handle when the linking member is not engaged with the handle and the transmission rod. Oppositely, the handle is able to drive the lock module in operation by the transmission rod driving when the linking member is engaged with the handle and the transmission rod.
