  • Patent number: 9052779
    Abstract: A display includes a backlight source, display panel, first light source, and controller. The display panel includes a sensor array for sensing first reflection light generated from an object reflecting first detection light. The first detection light is generated by the backlight source for locating a coordinate of a projection point of the object on the display panel. The first light source is disposed in a first side of the display panel, for repeatedly transmitting second detection light of different transmitting angles to the object at different time to generate a second reflection light. The second reflection light is sensed by the sensor array. The controller is for performing a corresponding operation according to a transmitting angle of the first light source and the coordinate of the projection point when brightness value of the reflective light is substantially greater than a predict value.

  • Patent number: 8692944
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a first electrode, a second electrode, a third electrode, an isolating layer, and a conductor. The first electrode is disposed between the first substrate and the isolating layer, on which the conductor is disposed. Each of the second and third electrodes is disposed on the second substrate and includes a contact surface. The second and third electrodes are not in contact with each other and are separated by a gap. The conductor is disposed in accordance with the location of the gap.

  • Patent number: 8368068
    Abstract: A display with a photo sensor is provided, wherein the photo sensor is integrated with an active device array substrate of the display and fabricated through an existing process to reduce the manufacturing cost. A photosensitive silicon-rich dielectric layer or any other photosensitive material layer having similar photosensitive characteristics (for example, a photosensitive semiconductor layer) is adopted to form the photo sensor with a lower electrode and a transparent upper electrode. Thereby, the fill factor of the photo sensor is maximized and noises caused by a backlight source electrode are eliminated.
