LG Patent Apps Point to Electric Cars and Solar Cell Manufacturing

LG has also made forays into the realm of alternative energies to design and develop solar cells to be manufactured by the company. One of these technologies has been filed with the USPTO through U.S. Patent Application No. 20140357008, entitled Method of Manufacturing Solar Cell and Method of Forming Doping Region. The method of manufacturing a solar cell claimed by this patent involves forming a doping region with portions containing different doping concentrations which are simultaneously formed while forming an electrode to the solar cell. This innovation was pursued to improve upon conventional solar cell manufacturing methods by providing a simpler means for forming a doping region which results in less risk of the forming of a manufacturing defect.

LG Patents – Digital Broadcast Services to Voice Recognition Technologies

Today, we’ve explored a couple of patent applications related to improved methods for businesses that are trying to reach mobile users within a close proximity, including one technology for directly communicating proximity-based services to mobile device owners as well as methods for communicating those proximity-based services to groups. Another patent application discusses an improved LED lighting apparatus for better diffusion of light on an LCD screen. We also noticed a patent application related to an improved method of manufacturing solar cells… we’ve delved into a trio of patents which protect improvements to digital content broadcasting systems, including one patent describing more secure methods of setting parental controls on children viewing habits. Another patent we’ve explored discloses an improved voice recognition technology for controlling television units. Finally, LG has patented a component for a drying machine which can heat a small space for items which are difficult to dry, like shoes.
