  • Publication number: 20240143113
    Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, an input sensor operating in an input sensing mode or a proximity sensing mode, a sensor controller driving the input sensor in the input sensing mode or the proximity sensing mode, and a main controller controlling driving of the sensor controller. The input sensor includes a sensing area and a non-sensing area. The sensing area is divided into a proximity sensing area and a plurality of reference areas in the proximity sensing mode. The main controller generates a noise control signal based on a plurality of reference sensing signals sensed in the reference areas, and determines whether an object is in proximity based on the noise control signal and a proximity sensing signal sensed in the proximity sensing area.

  • Patent number: 11941203
    Abstract: An electronic device includes: a display layer to display an image; a sensor layer on the display layer; and a sensor driver electrically connected with the sensor layer, and to be selectively driven in a first mode for detecting a passive input, or a second mode for detecting an active input. In the second mode, the sensor driver is to: receive a plurality of sensing signals from the sensor layer; divide the plurality of sensing signals into a valid signal and a noise signal; calculate intermediate coordinates based on the valid signal; and correct the intermediate coordinates based on the noise signal to calculate input coordinates.

  • Publication number: 20240069672
    Abstract: A method of driving an input sensor to detect a proximity of a user includes driving the input sensor in a direct sensing mode, the input sensor including first sensing electrodes and second sensing electrodes insulated from the first sensing electrodes, and upon determining the user is engaged in a call, driving the input sensor in in a first proximity sensing mode by applying a driving signal to each of the first sensing electrodes. when the user has not performed the direct touch, and driving the input sensor in a second proximity sensing mode by applying no driving signal to a first subset of the first sensing electrodes and applying the driving signal to a second other subset of the first sensing electrodes, when the user has performed the direct touch.

  • Patent number: 11125404
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an LED lighting module for a low street light, installed at a low height on the periphery of a road or a median strip, to illuminate light in a direction crossing the road, and to an LED lens provided on the LED lighting module. When using the LED lighting module for the low streetlight and the LED lens, according to one embodiment of the present invention, streetlight can be installed at a low height thereby reducing the cost for streetlight installation, glare on a car driver can be prevented by evenly lighting the road in the horizontal direction while deflecting downward, and the loss of light can be minimized.
