    Abstract: This application discloses a method of forming a flexible substrate using a detachment apparatus. The flexible substrate includes a debonding region, and one or more edge regions located in proximity to one or more edges of the flexible substrate. The detachment apparatus detaches the one or more edge regions of the flexible substrate from a rigid carrier that is configured to support the flexible substrate device, and detach the debonding region of the flexible substrate from the rigid carrier to which a bottom surface of the debonding region is configured to adhere. Specifically, the detachment apparatus detaches the debonding region by contacting the top surface of the flexible substrate at a plurality of suction locations located on the debonding region of the flexible substrate, and applying detachment force at the plurality of suction locations to peel the flexible substrate off the rigid carrier.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a display screen includes the follows: detecting a first event that will trigger partially turning on of the display screen while the display screen is in an off state; acquiring a predetermined user interface to be displayed according to the first event; determining whether the first event belongs to one of an active event and a passive event; turning on a first display area to display the predetermined user interface when the first event is the active event, where the predetermined user interfaces associated with a plurality of active events are all displayed on the first display area; and turning on a second display area to display the predetermined user interface when the first event is the passive event, where the predetermined user interfaces associated with a plurality of passive events are all displayed on the second display area. A related electronic device is also provided.

    Abstract: This application discloses a flexible substrate device that includes a flexible substrate and a plurality of electronic devices. The flexible substrate includes a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to the top surface, and the plurality of electronic devices formed on the top surface of the flexible substrate. The bottom surface further includes one or more strong adhesion regions and one or more normal adhesion regions that are distinct from the one or more strong adhesion regions. Each of the one or more strong adhesion regions and the one or more normal adhesion regions are configured to attach to a rigid carrier with first adhesion strength and second adhesion strength, respectively. The first adhesion strength is substantially larger than the second adhesion strength. In some embodiments, the flexible substrate device is a thin film transistor (TFT) device, and the plurality of electronic devices includes a TFT array.
