  • Publication number: 20090289462
    Abstract: A cover latching mechanism (100) used in a portable electronic device is described including a latching base (20), a cover member (10), a latching member (40), and a releasing member (30). The cover member has a latching protrusion (14) arranged on it. The latching member is used to latch the cover member to the latching base and defines a latch space (464) and a release space (462). The cover member can be latched to the latching base by latching the latching protrusion into the latch space, and then be released from the latching base by the releasing member engaging into the release space.

  • Publication number: 20090237384
    Abstract: In a method of automatically powering on and powering off a display device, the display device is switchable between a power on mode, where the display device is operable to show an image frame, and a power off mode, where the display device is unable to show an image frame. The method includes the steps of: (A) while the display device is in the power on mode, enabling the display device to detect whether there is an image signal input; and (B) in response to non-detection of the image signal input in step (A), enabling the display device to switch operation to the power off mode. The method dispenses with the need to provide a power switch button on the display device, and power consumption of the display device can be further lowered due to operation in the power off mode.
