    Abstract: A display panel having a display region and a non-display region is provided. The display panel includes a plurality of pixel structures in the display region, and each pixel structure includes a scan line, a data line, a first active device, a pixel electrode, a first insulating layer, a capacitor electrode, and a second insulating layer. The first active device includes a first gate, a first channel, a first source, and a first drain. The second insulating layer covers the first insulating layer and the capacitor electrode and is located between the capacitor electrode and the first drain. At least one driving circuit is disposed in the non-display region and includes at least one second active device. Hence, a relatively thin insulating layer can be disposed between the capacitor electrode and the drain to reduce the area of the capacitor region and to achieve a desired aperture ratio.

  • Publication number: 20130222357
    Abstract: A gate driver for driving a TFT-LCD panel includes a number of gate-driver circuits arranged in groups and stages. Each gate-driver circuit has a main driver and an output section. The main driver is used to provide a charging signal to the output section which has two or more output circuits. Each of the output circuits is configured to provide a gate-line signal in response to the charging signal and a clock signal. The gate-driver circuit uses fewer switching elements, such as thin-film transistors, than the conventional circuit. When the gate driver is integrated in a TFT-LCD display panel and disposed within the periphery area around the display area, it is desirable to reduce or minimize the number of switching elements in the gate driver so that the periphery area can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 8505584
    Abstract: A structure of water-saving device includes a base, an adjusting ring and a gland. The adjusting ring is mounted in a water-inlet channel. The gland is movably positioned in the base to limit the adjusting ring. A central part of a top surface of the gland sinks downward to form a recess. When water flow impacts the gland, the gland pushes the adjusting ring, such that the adjusting ring is deformed. Since a difference of pressure occurs between a top and bottom surfaces of the gland, the larger the water pressure is, the larger the force from the gland toward the adjusting ring becomes; thus the degree of deformation of the adjusting ring also becomes large, such that the area between the adjusting ring and the bottom surface of the base for water flowing through decreases and the flow of water gradually achieves a stable value.

  • Patent number: 8476932
    Abstract: A multiplex gate driving circuit includes plural driving modules. In comparison with the prior art, each driving stage of the driving module has less number of transistors. From the first to the seventh example, each driving stage is implemented by only four transistors. In the eighth example and the ninth example, each driving stage is implemented by only two transistors. In other words, the driving stage of the multiplex gate driving circuit has less number of transistors, thereby reducing the layout area of the invisible zone of the LCD panel.

  • Patent number: 8445348
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a manufacturing method of a semiconductor component with a nanowire channel. The method comprises the following steps. The step of forming a stack structure on a substrate is performed. A semiconductor layer is formed on the substrate and the stack structure and further filled into the fillister. The semiconductor layer is patterned to form a source area and a drain area, and the channel region is located between the source area and the drain area. The semiconductor layer located outside the source area, the drain area and the fillister will be removed. And then, the stack structure is then removed. Therefore, the semiconductor layer filled inside the fillister will be exposed to be as a channel. A gate oxide layer is formed to cover the channel, and a gate layer is then formed on the gate oxide layer.
