  • Publication number: 20210397002
    Abstract: A holographic display device includes a display panel for emitting a first image light and a diffraction component on an optical path of the first image light. The first image light includes first and second colors of light. The diffraction component diffracts the first color light at a first diffraction efficiency and diffracts the second color light at a second diffraction efficiency. The first color light and the second color light after diffraction are mixed together in a second image light for generating holographic images. By emitting the first color light and the second color light in the first image light at the same grayscale value, a ratio of intensities of the first color light and the second color light becomes inversely proportional to a ratio of the first diffraction efficiency and the second diffraction efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11203645
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel glycosynthase enzymes for glycoprotein engineering and/or homogeneous antibody remodeling. The enzyme variants, termed EndoSd-D232M and EndoSz-D234M, contain the glycan conjugation and/or modification activity at the conserved N297 glycosylation site of Fc region of an exemplary antibody. It has been demonstrated that the glycosynthase activities of EndoSd-D232M and EndoSz-D234M can be applied to various mAbs targeting different receptors, including, but not limited to, Globo H, SSEA-4, SSEA-3 series of receptors (OBI-888; Globo H ganglioside), Herceptin (Her 2 receptor), Perj eta (Her 2 receptor) and Vectibix (EGFR receptor). It has been found that both mAb-GlcNAc and mAb-GlucNAc(F) were suitable substrates for both EndoSd-D232M and EndoSz-D234M. The ADCC assay of related products, OBI-888-G2S2 and Herceptin-G2S2, showed that the remodeled homogeneous antibody, mAb-G2S2, has an increased relative activity ranging from 3 to 26 folds.

  • Patent number: 11176884
    Abstract: OLED pixel driving circuit, array substrate and display device are provided. The pixel driving circuit comprises a driving control unit, a first light emitting unit and a second light emitting unit. Two OLEDs share one driving control unit, so the two OLEDs alternately emit light. In this way, light emitting time of the OLEDs is reduced, number of parasitic capacitors and data lines in a panel is reduced, and aperture ratio of the OLED device is increased; and OLEDs are enabled to be in reverse bias in a non-light emitting display frame, so that OLEDs do not have to be in a DC bias state for a long time, and thus, aging of the OLED device is slowed down. No other reverse bias voltage is connected externally, difficulty of tracing of the pixel circuit and crosstalk from a bias voltage line to other signal lines are reduced.

  • Publication number: 20210351088
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a method for non-destructive inspection of cell etch redeposition. In some embodiments of the method, a grayscale image of a plurality of cells on a wafer is captured. The grayscale image provides a top down view of the cells and, in some embodiments, is captured in situ after etching to form the cells. The cells are identified in the grayscale image to determine non-region of interest (non-ROI) pixels corresponding to the cells. The non-ROI pixels are subtracted from the grayscale image to determine ROI pixels. The ROI pixels are remaining pixels after the subtracting and correspond to material on sidewalls of, and in recesses between, the cells. An amount of etch redeposition on the sidewalls and in the recesses is then scored based on gray levels of the ROI pixels. Further, the wafer is processed based on the score.
