Patent number: 10704931Abstract: An optical detecting device includes a multi-axis instruction outputting mechanism and an optical detecting module, and shift of the multi-axis instruction outputting mechanism is determined accordingly. An actuating component of the multi-axis instruction outputting mechanism is moved in reciprocation at a first operating direction to output an instruction. The optical detecting module is detachably disposed to the actuating component. An interval between the optical detecting module and the actuating component is varied according to a relative movement between the optical detecting module and the actuating component at a second operating direction, and the actuating component can be shifted between different gears.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: PixArt Imaging Inc.Inventors: Chung-Ting Yang, Yen-Min Chang, Chia-Fu Ke

Patent number: 10061404Abstract: The present disclosure illustrates an optical navigation chip. The optical navigation chip is disposed on an optical navigation module. The optical navigation module includes a light-emitting unit. The light-emitting unit provides a light beam to irradiate a surface of a displacement generating unit. The light beam has a low divergence angle to reduce scattering. The optical navigation chip includes a sensing array and a displacement calculating unit. The sensing array is disposed corresponding to the surface. The sensing array receives a reflected light beam which the surface reflects, and captures an image once every capturing interval based upon the reflected light beam. The displacement calculating unit calculates a relative displacement between the optical navigation chip and the surface according to the images.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: PIXART IMAGING INC.Inventors: Ching-Lin Chung, J R-Shen Yang, Chia-Fu Ke, Yen-Min Chang
