1. The patent involved in the patent infringement of Veeco in Shanghai was awarded as a valid patent; The Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Office made a review decision today, vetoing VTech Precision Instruments International Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Veeco Shanghai") on China Micro-Semiconductor Equipment (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as " The application for invalidity of the patent in Zhongwei†confirms that the patent infringement of the patent infringement of Veeco Shanghai patent is a valid patent. In July this year, China Micro was officially suing "Veeco Shanghai" to the Fujian High Court, accusing its TurboDisk EPIK 700 model of MOCVD equipment infringing on the Chinese patent of Zhongwei's substrate tray synchronization, requiring it to stop infringement and claiming 100 million infringement. penalty for damages. After the micro-indictment, Veeco Shanghai filed a request for invalidation of the Zhongwei patent involved in the case with the Patent Reexamination Board; at the same time, a natural person also filed a request for invalidation of the patent in question. In response to the two invalidation requests for the patents involved, the Patent Reexamination Board successively held trials and the two parties' agents fully responded. The Patent Reexamination Board made a review decision on the two invalid declarations today, and all confirmed that the Zhongwei patents were valid. patent. However, it is worth noting that Veeco did not sit still. On November 2, Veeco USA announced that the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York agreed to a preliminary injunction request from Veeco for SGL Carbon, LLC (SGL). Micro-Semiconductor Equipment Co., Ltd. (AMEC) wafer carrier supplier. According to statistics, Veeco and Zhongwei Semiconductor each account for half of the top three LED chip manufacturers in China. Insiders commented that the ban may cause a lot of losses. In this regard, Zhongwei said that the court judges issued a banned substrate extremely rare when they did not have the opportunity to fully understand the evidence of invalid patents, and did not make a clear judgment on the validity of Veeco's US patents and the actual infringement of the substrate tray. The pallet supplier provided a temporary embargo for the pallet to Zhongwei. Zhongwei is taking a number of effective measures to reduce the impact of the ban. Dr. Du Zhiyou, Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and General Manager of MOCVD Products Division, said: "We are very sorry about the temporary injunction of the District Court for the Eastern District of New York. We believe that our suppliers will eventually win this patent litigation; It is also believed that China and the United States will also win patent litigation against Veeco Shanghai, and Veeco Shanghai will pay for its infringement." 2. Are you ready for Samsung and Huawei? Apple also applied for a foldable screen patent; According to a document published by the US Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), Apple has applied for a foldable screen patent. The patent document describes that the electronic device has a bendable portion that allows the device to be folded. The device features a flexible screen that can be bent after folding. A flexible display may have a flexible display layer, a cover layer, a touch sensor between the flexible display layer and the cover layer, a support layer, and a polarizing layer. A polarizer layer can also be interposed between the touch sensor and the flexible display layer, or between the touch sensor and the cover layer. It is worth noting that Apple stated in this patent document that this technology can be implemented through a micro LED screen, and that the foldable screen is not limited to the iPhone, but will be applied to a series of devices. If this technology is really implemented, then in the future we will see "Foldable iPhone", "Foldable iPad", "Foldable MacBook" and so on. In fact, just last month, according to Korean media reports, Apple is working with LG Display to develop an iPhone with a foldable screen. Of course, this is not the first time we have heard that Apple will launch a foldable iPhone in the future. As early as December 2016, there were rumors that LG Display will mass-produce smartphone foldable screens as early as 2018. Apple may be one of the partners. In the past two years, LG has demonstrated a number of foldable screen prototyping designs, including a design that folds like a book, and a roll that can be rolled up like a newspaper. LG foldable screens use flexible OLED panels, and LG has been improving the durability and yield of this material. According to the news, LG recently created a team of special characters to develop collapsible OLED screens, and LG Innotek also has a dedicated team to develop flexible boards to support flexible displays. These two teams are dedicated to future foldable iPhone services. Of course, the foldable iPhone will have to wait until 2020 at the earliest, and it will take more than two years now. With the innovation of smartphones becoming less and less, mobile phone manufacturers are racking their brains to find new breakthroughs, and folding has undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention. In addition to Apple, a number of smart phone terminal manufacturers have been exposed to the development of collapsible smartphones, including Samsung, Huawei, OPPO, Microsoft and so on. Among them, Samsung has been revealing the possibility of launching a foldable mobile phone since 2012. In September of this year, Koh Dong-jin, head of Samsung's mobile business, said that the company hopes to launch a smart phone with a foldable screen in 2018, but several obstacles must be overcome.
Half-cell solar modules have solar cells that are cut in half, which improves the solar module`s performance and durability. Traditional 60-cell and 72-cell solar panels will have 120 half-cut cells and 144 half-cut cells, respectively. When solar cells are halved, their current is also halved, so resistive losses are lowered and the solar cells can produce more power.
Smaller cells experience reduced mechanical stresses, reaching a decreased opportunity for cracking. Half cut cell PV modules have higher output ratings and are more reliable than conventional solar panels.
