- It should be noted that the terms used herein are merely for describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit exemplary embodiments according to the disclosure. As used herein, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Further, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and/or "include" are used in this description, the term denotes presence of features, steps, operations, devices, assemblies and/or their combinations.
- Unless otherwise described specifically, relative arrangements, numeric expressions and values of components and steps set forth in these examples do not limit the scope of the disclosure. In addition, it should be understood that for the convenience of description, the dimensions of various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relation. Technologies, methods and apparatuses known to those of ordinary skill in related fields cannot be discussed in detail, but in appropriate cases, the technologies, methods and apparatuses should be regarded as a constituent part of the granted description. In all instances shown and discussed herein, any specific value should be constructed as merely illustrative, but not limitative. As a result, other instances of exemplary examples can have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters indicate similar items in the following accompanying drawings, and once defined in one accompanying drawing, an item is unnecessary to further define and explain in subsequent accompanying drawings.
- In the description of the disclosure, it should be understood the orientation or positional relations indicated by the orientation terms such as "front", "rear", "up", "down", "left", "right", "transverse", "vertical", "perpendicular", "horizontal", "top", and "bottom" are based on the orientation or positional relations shown in the accompanying drawings, are merely for facilitating the description of the disclosure and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that an apparatus or element referred to must have a particular orientation or be constructed and operated in a particular orientation in the absence of contrary description, and cannot be understood as limitation to the disclosure accordingly. The orientation terms "inside" and "outside" refer to inside and outside relative to outlines of components.
- For the convenience of description, spatially relative terms such as "over", "above", "on an upper surface of" and "on" can be used herein to describe a spatial positional relation between a device or feature as shown in the figure and other devices or features. It should be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation of the device depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawing is inverted, the device that is described as "above another device or structure" or "over another device or structure" will be positioned as "below another device or structure" or "under another device or structure". As a result, the exemplary term "above" can include two orientations of "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated by 90 degrees or in other orientations), and spatial relative description used herein is explained accordingly.
