  • Patent number: 10872677
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a shift register unit, a gate drive circuit, and a driving method thereof, and relates to the field of display technologies. The shift register unit includes an input sub-circuit, an output control sub-circuit, and an output sub-circuit. The input sub-circuit is coupled to a first node and a first voltage terminal, and is configured to output a first voltage signal to the first node in response to an input control signal. The output control sub-circuit is coupled to the first node, a second node, and a clock signal terminal, and is configured to output an output control signal to the second node in response to the first voltage signal and a clock signal. The output sub-circuit is coupled to the second node, a DC voltage terminal, and an output terminal, and is configured to output a DC voltage signal to the output terminal under the control of the output control signal.

  • Patent number: 10575409
    Abstract: A FPC flattening jig and a FPC flattening method. The FPC flattening jig includes a pressurization mechanism and a heating mechanism; a bottom of the pressurization mechanism has a planar base surface which is used to contact a warped FPC to exert pressure thereon; the heating mechanism is used to heat the pressurization mechanism, such that the planar base surface of the pressurization mechanism has a predefined temperature when exerting pressure on the FPC. The FPC flattening jig heats the pressurization mechanism by a heating mechanism, and then the heated planar base surface of the pressurization mechanism contacts the warped FPC and exerts pressure thereon. Therefore, the FPC can be flattened. As such, the FPC can be reused, facilitating the improvement on the recycling rate of FPC.
