  • Patent number: 11920118
    Abstract: Provided are a method for fabricating a highly elastic porous polymer membrane, a method for manufacturing a cell culture system using a porous polymer membrane fabricated by the fabrication method, and a cell culture system manufactured by the manufacturing method. The porous polymer membrane can be fabricated by spin coating a mixture solution containing a biodegradable elastomeric polymer and a water-soluble moisture absorbent in an optimum ratio while maintaining a high relative humidity. The porous polymer membrane has a uniform thickness and a uniform pore size and is highly elastic. In addition, the thickness and pore size of the porous polymer membrane can be controlled. The porous polymer membrane can induce active cell-cell interaction during cell co-culture due to its high porosity. The porous polymer membrane enables control over cell alignment or array due to its high biocompatibility and elasticity.

  • Patent number: 10297192
    Abstract: A light emitting display device and a method for driving the same are disclosed, in which a source voltage of a driving transistor for compensating for degradation of a light emitting element may be prevented from getting out of a sensing voltage range of an analog-to-digital converter. The light emitting display device comprises a display panel connected to data lines, scan lines and reference voltage lines and provided with pixels, each pixel including a light emitting element; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converting voltages sensed from the pixels through the reference voltage lines into sensing data; and a voltage supply unit supplying a reference voltage to the reference voltage lines. The voltage supply unit supplies a third low voltage and a third high voltage to the ADC in a degradation compensation mode for compensating for degradation of the light emitting element. In the degradation compensation mode, the reference voltage is equal to or higher than the third low voltage.
