20120270799 | METHOD OF IDENTIFYING A CANDIDATE COMPOUND WHICH MAY INHIBIT a9-nAchR OVEREXPRESSION OR ESTROGEN RECEPTOR-DEPENDENT TRANSCRIPTION IN NICOTINE-DERIVED-COMPOUND-INDUCED BREAST CANCER CELLS - The invention relates to methods of identifying a candidate compound which may inhibit estrogen receptor-dependent transcription or α9-nAChR overexpression and proliferation of nicotine-derived-compound-induced breast cancer cells by using an activating protein 1 (AP1) polypeptide. The invention found that α9-nAChR has an activating protein 1 (AP1)-binding site, that the α9-nAChR promoter is located at the AP1-binding site, and that ERs specifically bind to the α9-nAChR promoter at the AP1-binding site, indicating that ER-induced α9-nAChR up-regulation plays a central role in the response to endogenous (E2) or exogenous (nicotine) stimulation. | 10-25-2012 |

20100265450 | PLACEMENT OF SPACERS IN A LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL - A plurality of spacers are used to control the gap in a liquid crystal display panel. When a spacer is associated with an electrode in the lower substrate where the switching elements and data lines are disposed, it is located substantially at the center of the electrode. In a transflective LCD sub-pixel, a spacer may be disposed at the center of one of the transmissive and reflective electrodes. Alternatively, a spacer is disposed at the center of each of the transmissive and reflective electrodes. When the electrode in a sub-pixel comprises different sections to affect the alignment of the liquid crystal layer associated with the electrode, the spacer is located at the intersection of the sections, if possible, so that the spacer is located at the intersections of different domains of the liquid crystal layer. | 10-21-2010 |
20120105756 | PSA LCD PANEL WITH PIXEL UNIT OF EIGHT DOMAINS - A PSA LCD panel includes a plurality of pixel units. Each of the pixel units includes a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode separated from the first pixel electrode. Each of the first and second pixel electrodes has a pattern scattered from a center in such a manner to form four domains. | 05-03-2012 |

20090161055 | PIXEL STRUCTURE AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL - A pixel structure including an active device, a first pixel electrode, a second pixel electrode, a coupling line, a common electrode, and a liquid crystal layer is provided. The first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode have a plurality of sets of stripped electrode patterns extending along different directions, respectively, and the first pixel electrode is electrically insulated from the second pixel electrode. The coupling line is disposed under the first and the second pixel electrode and electrically insulated from the second pixel electrode. The first pixel electrode is electrically connected to the active device through the coupling line. The common electrode is disposed over the first and the second pixel electrode. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the common electrode and the first and second pixel electrodes. Moreover, the liquid crystal layer has two polymer layers and a liquid crystal molecule layer disposed between the polymer layers. | 06-25-2009 |
20100085525 | THIN FILM TRANSISTOR SUBSTRATE, LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE USING THE SAME - A thin film transistor (TFT) substrate including a base, a plurality of scan lines and data lines and a pixel unit is provided. The scan lines are disposed on the base. The data lines are disposed above the scan lines and are perpendicular to the scan lines to define a plurality of pixel areas. The pixel unit is disposed on the base and inside one of the pixel areas. The pixel unit comprises a TFT and a pixel electrode. The TFT comprises a source and a drain. The pixel electrode is electrically connected to the drain. The pixel electrode comprises a first main electrode, a second main electrode and a plurality of branch electrodes. The first main electrode is perpendicular to the second main electrode. The branch electrodes are connected to the first main electrode and/or the second main electrode. The first main electrode substantially divides the pixel area evenly. | 04-08-2010 |
