Abstract: An organic light emitting diode anode connection structure and manufacturing method thereof. The structure comprises a thin film transistor (20) and an anode (40) of the organic light emitting diode, the anode being arranged on the thin film transistor (20). The thin film transistor (20) comprises a low-temperature polycrystalline silicon layer (24) arranged on a substrate (22), a gate insulation layer (26) arranged on the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon layer (24), a gate electrode arranged on the gate insulation layer (26), a protection layer (27) arranged on the gate electrode, and a source / drain electrode (28) arranged on the protection layer (27). The anode (40) of the organic light emitting diode is connected to the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon layer (24). By directly connecting the anode of the organic light emitting diode to the low-temperature polycrystalline silicon layer of the thin film transistor, the separation between two adjacent switch thin film transistors can be effectively reduced, the number of pixels per unit area (per inch) can be increased, and the resolution of a panel using the organic light emitting diode anode connection structure can be increased.

Abstract: An interlock system comprises a lock, including a lock memory storing one or more virtual keys; and a first key including a first key memory storing one or more virtual keys. The lock is actuated between first and second conditions when a virtual key stored in the first key memory is transferred to the lock memory and the first key is engaged and moved with respect to the lock. The first key may be positionable with respect to the lock in a communication position, in which the virtual key is transferable and actuation of the lock is prevented, and an actuation position in which the first key is engaged with and movable to actuate the lock. The first key may include an engagement release mechanism 218 which controls whether the first key is positionable in the actuation position based on transfer of the correct virtual key to the lock memory. Independent claims to an interlock key and an interlock lock, substantially as previously described, are also included.
