在附圖中，為了清楚起見，放大了層、膜、面板、區域等的厚度。在整個說明書中，相同的附圖標記表示相同的元件。應當理解，當諸如層、膜、區域或基板的元件被稱為在另一元件「上」或「連接到」另一元件時，其可以直接在另一元件上或與另一元件連接，或者中間元件可以也存在。相反，當元件被稱為「直接在另一元件上」或「直接連接到」另一元件時，不存在中間元件。如本文所使用的，「連接」可以指物理及/或電性連接。再者，電性連接或耦接可為二元件間存在其它元件。In the drawings, the thickness of layers, films, panels, regions, etc., are exaggerated for clarity. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals denote the same elements. It should be understood that when an element such as a layer, film, region, or substrate is referred to as being "on" or "connected to" another element, it can be directly on or connected to the other element, or Intermediate elements can also be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" or "directly connected to" another element, there are no intervening elements. As used herein, "connection" can refer to physical and/or electrical connection. Furthermore, the electrical connection or coupling may be that there are other elements between the two elements.

應當理解，儘管術語「第一」、「第二」與「第三」或「一」、「另一」、「又一」與「又另一」等在本文中可以用於描述各種元件、部件、區域、層及/或部分，但是這些元件、部件、區域、及/或部分不應受這些術語的限制。這些術語僅用於將一個元件、部件、區域、層或部分與另一個元件、部件、區域、層或部分區分開。因此，下面討論的「第一元件」、「第一部件」、「第一區域」、「第一層」、或「第一部分」可以被稱為「第二元件」、「第二部件」、「第二區域」、「第二層」、或「第二部分」而不脫離本文的教導。It should be understood that although the terms "first", "second" and "third" or "one", "another", "yet another" and "yet another" can be used herein to describe various elements, Components, regions, layers, and/or parts, but these elements, components, regions, and/or parts should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another element, component, region, layer or section. Therefore, the “first element”, “first part”, “first area”, “first layer”, or “first part” discussed below can be referred to as “second element”, “second part”, "Second Area", "Second Level", or "Second Part" without departing from the teachings of this article.

這裡使用的術語僅僅是為了描述特定實施例的目的，而不是限制性的。如本文所使用的，除非內容清楚地指示，否則單數形式「一」、「一個」和「該」旨在包括複數形式，包括「至少一個」。「或」表示「及/或」。如本文所使用的，術語「及/或」包括一個或多個相關所列項目的任何和所有組合。還應當理解，當在本說明書中使用時，術語「包括」及/或「包括」指定所述特徵、區域、整體、步驟、操作、元件的存在及/或部件，但不排除一個或多個其它特徵、區域整體、步驟、操作、元件、部件及/或其組合的存在或添加。The terminology used here is only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and is not restrictive. As used herein, unless the content clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include plural forms, including "at least one." "Or" means "and/or". As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items. It should also be understood that when used in this specification, the terms "including" and/or "including" designate the presence of the features, regions, wholes, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not exclude one or more The existence or addition of other features, regions as a whole, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or combinations thereof.

此外，諸如「下」和「上」的相對術語可在本文中用於描述一個元件與另一元件的關係，如圖所示。應當理解，相對術語旨在包括除了圖中所示的方位之外的裝置的不同方位。例如，如果一個附圖中的裝置翻轉，則被描述為在其他元件的「下」側的元件將被定向在其他元件的「上」側。因此，示例性術語「下」可以包括「下」和「上」的取向，取決於附圖的特定取向。類似地，如果一個附圖中的裝置翻轉，則被描述為在其它元件「下方」或「下方」的元件將被定向為在其它元件「上方」。因此，示例性術語「下面」或「下面」可以包括上方和下方的取向。In addition, relative terms such as "lower" and "upper" can be used herein to describe the relationship between one element and another element, as shown in the figure. It should be understood that relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in addition to the orientation shown in the figures. For example, if the device in one figure is turned over, elements described as being on the "lower" side of other elements will be oriented on the "upper" side of the other elements. Therefore, the exemplary term "lower" may include an orientation of "lower" and "upper," depending on the specific orientation of the drawing. Similarly, if the device in one figure is turned over, elements described as "below" or "below" other elements will be oriented "above" the other elements. Thus, the exemplary terms "below" or "below" can include an orientation of above and below.

In the same direction, the size of the engaging area 123b is larger than the opening diameter of the aforementioned accommodating space 122, and the opening diameter of the aforementioned accommodating space 122 is larger than the size of the buffer zone 123a. For example: in the length direction, the length of the engaging area 123b is greater than the opening length of the aforementioned accommodating space 122, and the opening length of the aforementioned accommodating space 122 is greater than the length of the buffer zone 123a; and in the width direction, the engaging area The width of 123b is greater than the opening width of the aforementioned accommodating space 122, and the aforementioned opening width of the accommodating space 122 is greater than the width of the buffer zone 123a.
