  • Publication number: 20090136051
    Abstract: A system for modulating audio effects of speakers is provided. The system includes a selecting module, a playing module, a recording module, a time delay computing module and a modulating module. Based on these modules, the system is capable of determining a time difference and a pitch for each of the speakers, and modulating the time difference and the pitch for each of the speakers to a desired time difference and a desired pitch, so as to ensure that simultaneous sounds from each speaker arrive at a microphone at about the same time and with the same audio pitch. A related method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7206491
    Abstract: A light guide device (60) and a backlight module using the same. The light guide device includes: an incident surface (61); an emitting surface (64) adjacent to the incident surface; a reflecting surface (62) opposited to the emitting surface; a plurality of first V-shaped structures (644) formed on the emitting surface; and a plurality of second V-shaped structures (622) formed on the reflecting surface and perpendicular to the first V-shaped structures, wherein respective heigths of the second V-shaped structures increase with increasing distance from the incident surface and respective distances between adjacent second V-shaped structures decrease with increasing distance from the incident surface. The light guide device of the present invention does not need optical elements, and thus has a simple structure. A backlight module using the same light guide plate is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20070041701
    Abstract: A backlight system includes a light guide plate and a light source. The light guide plate includes a light incident surface, a reflective surface adjoining the light incident surface, and a light-emitting surface opposite to the reflective surface. The light guide plate further includes an upper layer and a lower layer under the upper layer. The upper layer includes a substrate portion, a light-emitting surface, a second surface, and a number of projections. The projections extend from the second surface. Each projection has a top extremity adjoining the substrate portion and a bottom face distal from the substrate portion. The lower layer includes a light incident surface, a top surface adjoining the light incident surface, and a reflective surface opposite to the top surface. The top surface of the lower layer abuts the bottom face of the projections.

  • Publication number: 20060044832
    Abstract: A light guide plate includes an incident surface, a reflecting surface, and a plurality of V-shaped projections arrayed on the reflecting surface. The V-shaped projections extend outwardly from the reflecting surface. Each of the V-shaped projection has a triangular cross-section. A vertex angle of the cross-section is in the range from 40° to 95°. A first base angle of the cross-section is in the range from 70° to 90°. A second base angle of the cross-section is in the range from 15° to 50°. A distribution density of the V-shaped projections progressively increases along a direction away from the incident surface. A size of the V-shaped projections progressively increases along a direction away from the incident surface. The light guide plate can be one of a flat sheet having a uniform thickness and a wedge-shape piece.
