Abstract: A substrate, a mask, a display panel and a display device are provided. The substrate includes a base substrate and a color resistance layer on the base substrate. The substrate has a display area and a non-display area. The color resistance layer in the non-display area includes a weakening unit for weakening or disconnecting connection between the color resistance layer in the non-display area away from the display area and the color resistance layer in the display area. During the development and washing process of the substrate, even if the color resistance layer in the non-display area is peeled off, the color resistance layer in the display area will not be peeled off together, which helps to ensure the safety and reliability of the color resistance layer in the display area.

Abstract: Systems and methods of facilitating the viewing of interventional instruments (e.g., needles, catheters, guidewires, vascular filters, biopsy probes) are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a portable, handheld or cart-based ultrasound imaging machine is connected to an external laser light source that transmits laser light to a tip of an interventional instrument via one or more optical fibers. The laser light is absorbed at the distal tip of the instrument and generates a photoacoustic signal. The ultrasound imaging machine creates an image by combining data from the received photoacoustic signals with ultrasound echo data to show both tissue in a region of interest and the tip of the interventional instrument.

Abstract: A laser light source transmits laser light to a tip of an interventional instrument such as a needle via an optical fiber. The laser light is absorbed at the distal tip of the instrument and generates a photoacoustic signal. The laser light source is configured to receive a trigger signal from an ultrasound machine when a laser pulse is to be produced. The light source signals the ultrasound machine when an optical connector is connected to the laser light source to automatically begin a needle tip (NTV) visualization mode. If the optical connector is removed from the laser light source, the laser light source stops producing laser light pulses.
