Abstract— Mura defects become visible in a 13.3‐in. TFT‐LCD using chip‐on‐glass (COG) packaging when the thickness of the glass substrate is decreased from 0.5 to 0.3 mm. Mura, the non‐uniform brightness in LCDs, is caused by COG packaging due to the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and Young's m…

Here we demonstrated that Au can be more reactive than Ni in Au/Ni heteronanostructures and be etched out first by oxidization with HAuCl(4). Ligands were proven to determine the conversion pathways and structures of final products. These abnormal ligand-manipulated redox reactions may provide more possibilities for t…
