  • Publication number: 20210320091
    Abstract: A method for making a micro LED display panel not requiring high-accuracy or individual positioning includes providing a carrier substrate with micro LEDs, providing a TFT substrate including a driving circuit, and forming a conductive connecting element, an insulating layer, and a contact electrode layer on the TFT substrate. The insulating layer and the contact electrode layer are patterned to define a through hole, the first electrode is placed against the contact electrode layer, and different voltages Vref and Vdd are applied to the contact electrode layer and to the conductive connecting element respectively, creating an electrostatic attraction. The micro LEDs and the first electrode are transferred from the carrier substrate onto the TFT substrate; and the conductive connecting element is bonded to the first electrode.

  • Publication number: 20210109092
    Abstract: A sensor using ultrasound to detect presence and nature of analyte includes an ultrasonic element and a receptor thereon. The ultrasonic element includes a first electrode, a second electrode facing and spaced apart from the first electrode, an insulating layer between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a vibrating film between the insulating layer and the first electrode. The vibrating film carries the first electrode. A cavity is formed between the vibrating film and the insulating layer. The receptor is on a side of the first electrode away from the second electrode. The receptor can combine with a target substance in a test analyte. When the first electrode and the second electrode are applied with different voltages, certain ultrasound frequencies are generated as the vibrating film vibrates, and the presence and weight of different target substances are indicated by the changes in resonance.
