Abstract: The present invention relates to a mounting method of passive component, and particularly relates to a mounting method of a small-size passive component. A passive component partially covered by an adhesive material is provided. Before the adhesive layer is melted, the adhesive material is melted and then solidified to form a fixing structure between the passive component and a substrate for fixing the passive component on the substrate. Therefore, the tombstone problem caused by uneven pulling force that the melted solder applies to the two ends of the passive component is effectively solved. The yield rate is increased, and the product loss is reduced.

The method is used for eliminating the deficient image generated during the shutdown period in a normally white LCD. The method comprises the following steps.

At the end of the first period, a white frame is displayed in a second period of time. At the end of the second period, the supply of a negative scan voltage is stopped and a white frame is displayed in a third period of time. At the end of the third period, the power is turned off.

The carrier defines a cave with two opposite first side walls, two opposite second side walls and a rectangular bottom surface. An included angle between the first side wall and the bottom surface differs from that between the second side wall and the bottom surface. The LED chips are disposed in a straight-line arrangement on a center line of the bottom surface and electrically connected to the carrier. The center line is parallel to a long side of the bottom surface. The package body is formed on the carrier to cover the LED chips. Since the included angle between the first side wall and the bottom surface differs from that between the second side wall and the bottom surface, light provided by the LED package structure has different spatial radiation patterns in different directions.

Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, a distributed pressure and shear stress sensor includes a flexible substrate, such as PDMS, with a waveguide formed thereon. Along the waveguide path are several Bragg gratings. Each Bragg grating has a characteristic Bragg wavelength that shifts in response to an applied load due to elongation/compression of the grating. The wavelength shifts are monitored using a single input and a single output for the waveguide to determine the amount of applied pressure on the gratings. To measure shear stress, two flexible substrates with the waveguide and Bragg gratings are placed on top of each other such that the waveguides and gratings are perpendicular to each other. To fabricate the distributive pressure and shear sensor, a unique micro-molding technique is used wherein gratings are stamped into PDMS, for example.
