  • Publication number: 20240113222
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a thin film transistor comprising an active layer over a substrate. An insulator is stacked with the active layer. A gate electrode structure is stacked with the insulator and includes a gate material layer having a first work function and a first interfacial layer. The first interfacial layer is directly between the insulator and the gate material layer, wherein the gate electrode structure has a second work function that is different from the first work function.

  • Patent number: 11520099
    Abstract: A backlight module including a light source, a light guiding element, a brightness enhancement component, and a reflecting part is provided. A plate body of the light guiding element has an upper surface, a lower surface, and a light incident surface. A plurality of optical microstructures of the light guiding element are formed on the lower surface. The brightness enhancement component is disposed on a side of the upper surface. The brightness enhancement component includes two brightness enhancement films having a plurality of prism structures and disposed perpendicular to each other. The reflecting part is disposed on a side of the lower surface in the light guiding element. Each of the optical microstructures has a light receiving surface and a shady surface, and an angle between the light receiving surface and the lower surface is ranged between 2 degrees and 12 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20220206206
    Abstract: A backlight module including a light source, a light guide plate, an optical film set and at least one optical film layer is provided. The light guide plate has a light-incident surface and a light-emitting surface adjacent to the light-incident surface. The light source is disposed on a side of the light-incident surface and emits a light beam. The optical film set includes a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface and at least one side surface connected between the first surface and the second surface. The optical film set is disposed on a side of the light-emitting surface of the light guide plate, and the first surface faces the light-emitting surface. The optical film layer is disposed on the side surface of the optical film set. The optical film layer is a particle structure layer. A display apparatus including the backlight module is also provided.
