Patent number: 11515459Abstract: The present invention relates to a micro light-emitting diode display panel and a method for producing the same. A backplane and a light-emitting diode display layer are subjected to a bonding process to form eutectic structures between the backplane and light-emitting diodes of the light-emitting diode display layer. Then, an adhesive bonding layer including a resin material and conducting materials is formed on a surface of the backplane, and a heating process is performed, thereby causing the conducting materials to form a plurality of metallic bridge connection structures. Therefore, a bonding between the light-emitting diode and the backplane is reinforced, and tensile strength of the micro light-emitting diode display panel is enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2021Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignees: Interface Technology (ChengDu) Co., Ltd., Interface Optoelectronics (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., General Interface Solution LimitedInventors: Ping-Hsiang Kao, Po-Lun Chen, Chun-Ta Chen, Po-Ching Lin, Ya-Chu Hsu, Chia-Ming Fan, Chien-Yu Huang

Patent number: 11478177Abstract: A physiological signal collection electrode comprises a signal collection pad having a skin contact portion, a signal output pad and an elongate bridging portion interconnecting the signal collection pad and the signal output pad. The signal collection pad, the signal output portion and the bridging portion are integrally molded of a flexible, conductive and resilient material. The width of the bridging portion is substantially smaller than that of the skin contact portion. A narrowed bridging portion operates to concentrate collected physiological signals collected by the skin contact portion before the signals are output to the signal output pad. An elongate bridging portion reduces skin covering area for better wearer comfort as well as providing better resiliency to the electrode when the bridging portion is extended.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2017Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Dayton Technologies LimitedInventor: Paul Anthony Yuen
