  • Patent number: 7667677
    Abstract: A liquid crystal module for flat panel display comprising a glass substrate, a plurality of source drivers, a control board, and at least one bus. The source drivers coupled to the glass substrate utilize the chip on glass (COG) technology. The control board receives a plurality of data signals, a power signal and a gamma correction signal. The at least one bus coupled to the control board and at least one source driver, passes the data signals, the power signal and the gamma correction signal. The source drivers couple to the control board via the bus, each receiving a corresponding data signal. The data signals, conforming to transistor-transistor logic (TTL) standard, are transmitted sequentially on the bus.

  • Patent number: 7174230
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel distributed factory system framework including a novel factory automation lifecycle (200) having lifecycle activities for SW developing and integrating (210), installing and administrating (220), factory modeling (230), manufacturing planning (240), manufacturing controlling, monitoring and tracking (250) and analyzing of manufacturing results (260). The factory lifecycle comprises framework components. The distributed factory system framework also includes application components and building blocks. The framework components are adapted to for managing the application components, while the application components are utilized to provide instructions for managing a process such as a wafer fab. The building blocks are adapted for forming or modifying framework and application components. The distributed factory system framework provides computer implemented methods for integrating processing systems and facilitates process and equipment changes.
