  • Publication number: 20110008921
    Abstract: A method for fabricating flexible display device includes the following steps. Firstly, a rigid substrate is provided. Secondly, a sacrificing layer is formed on the rigid substrate. Thirdly, an element layer is formed on the sacrificing layer. Fourthly, the sacrificing layer is etched by a gas and then gasified, so that the element layer is separated from the rigid substrate. Then, the element layer is adhered to a flexible substrate. Because products generated by the sacrificing layer reacting with the gas are gases, the products can be removed by air exhaust for simplifying process.

  • Publication number: 20100323576
    Abstract: In a fabricating method of flexible display device, firstly, a sacrificial layer is formed on a first rigid substrate. Secondly, a first flexible substrate is formed on the sacrificial layer. The bonding force of the sacrificial layer absorbing a breaking-bond light may be broken and the first flexible substrate is transparent for the breaking-bond light. Moreover, the transmission rate of visible light of the first flexible substrate is larger than that of the sacrificial layer. Then, the sacrificial layer is illuminated by the breaking-bond light for breaking the bonding force of the sacrificial layer to separate the first rigid substrate from the first flexible substrate. Since the first rigid substrate has a high transmission rate of visible light, may be separated from the first flexible substrate by the first breaking-bond light with low energy, the cost of fabricating the flexible display device may display the images with real color.

  • Patent number: 6595111
    Abstract: In an electric toaster, a power switch unit is switched by a actuator provided on a support seat, which is movable together with a carriage, from an OFF-mode, where power to an electric heating unit is cut-off, to an ON-mode, where power is supplied to the heating unit, when the carriage is moved from an upper limit position to a lower limit position. A control unit energizes an electromagnet when the switch unit is switched to the ON-mode to attract a magnetically-attracted plate on the seat so that, once a force to move the carriage to the lower limit position is relieved, a biasing device biases the carriage to move from the lower limit position to a toasting position, thereby holding the seat in a lower retaining position against biasing action of a biasing member and thereby holding the carriage in the toasting position.
