In one implementation, a film stack for optical devices includes a glass substrate including a first surface and a second surface. The film stack includes a device function layer formed on the first surface, a hard mask layer formed on the device function layer, and a substrate recognition layer formed on the hard mask layer. The hard mask layer includes one or more of chromium, ruthenium, or titanium nitride. The film stack includes a backside layer formed on the second surface. The backside layer formed on the second surface includes one or more of a conductive layer or an oxide layer.

According to an embodiment of a specimen inspection apparatus, the specimen inspection apparatus may comprise: a radiation unit; a reflection unit; a focus adjusting unit; a reception unit; and a control unit. The specimen inspection apparatus may comprise: a radiation unit for emitting a terahertz wave; a reflection unit for changing the path of a terahertz wave emitted from the radiation unit; a focus adjusting unit for forming an irradiation region on a specimen according to the path of the terahertz wave; a reception unit for receiving individual terahertz waves obtained by reflection, by the specimen, of the terahertz wave irradiated onto the first region; and a control unit for controlling the distance between at least two elements among the plurality of elements, and detecting whether the specimen is defective, according to the reflectivity difference between the terahertz waves.

A display panel may include a first display substrate, a second display substrate disposed over the first display substrate, and a sealing member bonding the first display substrate and the second display substrate. The sealing member may include a frit sealing member including an outer region and an inner region, with the inner region disposed next to an inner side of the outer region and having a first crystallization temperature lower than a second crystallization temperature of the outer region, and an organic sealing member disposed next to an inner side of the frit sealing member.

A panel is disclosed. The panel has an exposed surface and a plurality of liquid-repelling elements disposed directly on the exposed surface in a discontinuous pattern. The liquid-repelling elements include a non-hydrophobic material.

A fitout article or article of equipment for a kitchen or laboratory is provided. The article has a lighting and separating element. The separating element in a region of the lighting element has light transmittance of at least 0.1% and less than 12%.
