Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a power module, a first light-emitting module, a second light-emitting module, a third light-emitting module, and a control module. The power module is configured to rectify an AC voltage for providing a periodic driving voltage. The first, second, third light-emitting modules are connected in series. The control module is configured to make the first, second, third light-emitting modules being driven by the driving voltage in response to different driving stages in a cycle period of a driving voltage. An average-diode-junction-area of the first light-emitting module is different from an average-diode-junction-area of the second light-emitting module or an average-diode-junction-area of the third light-emitting module.

Abstract: A light emitting chip operating under a DC power supply is provided. The light emitting chip includes a substrate and a plurality of light emitting elements.

Abstract: It is developed a Dual-Spectrum Heat Pattern Separation (DS-HPS) algorithm to quantify the energy from the area of the high temperature tissues, called qH map, and decompose the body surface into the high and normal temperature areas based on a pair of middle-wave Infra-red images and long-wave Infra-red images. Further, with longitudinal registration, we can detect the cancerous tissues and assess the chemotherapy treatment response on a pixel by pixel basis according to the change of the qH map derived by the DS-HPS algorithm. The preliminary result shows the area and the qH values in the high temperature area are decreased as the patients receive more chemotherapy. These suggest the proposed algorithm could capture the incremental or decremental of the energies emitted by the cancerous tissues, which has the potentials for chemotherapy assessment and early detection.

Abstract: A 3D image display device with high resolution is disclosed. The device may deflect left and right eye images to a left and right eye of a viewer, respectively. As such, the viewer may see 3D images. The 3D image display device includes a plurality of electrically switchable light modulating cells containing two incompatible light modulating mediums. When a voltage is applied to electrodes of the electrically switchable light modulating cell, the interface between the incompatible light modulating mediums non-horizontally deforms corresponding to the electrowetting or electrostatic concept. The geometrical shape, size, and material of partition walls in the electrically switchable light modulating cells may reduce or eliminate misplacement of incompatible light modulating mediums while voltages are applied thereto. In addition, the method of manufacturing the 3D image display device is also disclosed.

As such, the viewer can see 3D images.

Alternatively, a part of the electronically switchable light modulating cells are configured to modulate left eye images deflected to the left eye of the viewer, and another part of the electronically switchable light modulating cells are configured to modulate right eye images to the right eye of the viewer during the same period.

Finally, two measuring electrodes are used to measure the humidity value.
