  • Patent number: 11916282
    Abstract: An antenna apparatus includes a feeding antenna inside an electronic device and one or more antenna elements, such as a floating metal antenna, disposed on a rear cover of the electronic device. The floating metal antenna and a feeding antenna inside the electronic device may form a coupling antenna structure. The feeding antenna may be an antenna fastened on an antenna support (which may be referred to as a support antenna). The feeding antenna may alternatively be a slot antenna formed by slitting on a metal middle frame of the electronic device. The antenna apparatus may be implemented in limited design space, thereby effectively saving antenna design space inside the electronic device. The antenna apparatus may generate excitation of a plurality of resonance modes, so that antenna bandwidth and radiation characteristics can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20240056080
    Abstract: A level shifter includes a cross-coupled transistor pair, first through third cascode transistor pairs and a differential input pair sequentially coupled in series, and further includes a sub level shifter. The first cascode transistor pair is controlled by a first reference voltage. The second cascode transistor pair is controlled by a pair of differential control voltages. The third cascode transistor pair is controlled by a second reference voltage lower than the first reference voltage. The differential input pair is controlled by a pair of differential input voltages. The sub level shifter generates the differential control voltages according to the differential input voltages and the first and second reference voltages. The differential control voltages are switched between the first and second reference voltages. The level shifter outputs a pair of differential output voltages through inverted and non-inverted output terminals coupled with the second cascode transistor pair.

  • Patent number: 11852941
    Abstract: A cholesteric liquid crystal display device includes a solar cell, a first substrate, a shielding layer, a first electrode layer, a cholesteric liquid crystal layer, a second electrode layer and a second substrate stacked sequentially from bottom to top. The solar cell includes a metal wiring pattern layer. The shielding layer corresponds to the upper side of the metal wiring pattern layer, and is used to reduce the reflection of light from the metal circuit pattern layer. In this way, the cholesteric liquid crystal display device replaces the traditional black absorbing layer with the black material of the solar cell, which can not only absorb light, but also display the image with self-sustaining power. The cholesteric liquid crystal display device shields the arrangement of the metal wiring pattern layer through the shielding layer, which can ensure the image quality of the display panel.

  • Publication number: 20230368747
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cholesteric liquid crystal display, a micro processing unit, and a method for hybrid driving. The cholesteric liquid crystal display comprises a display panel and a micro processing unit. First, a grayscale threshold value needs to be set in advance. The micro processing unit will change the grayscale value of the display unit exceeding the grayscale threshold value to the new grayscale value displayed by the bright state color, and display the image by the DDS driving mode. Then the micro processing unit drives the display image in the PWM drive mode, which can greatly improve the color level and contrast display effect of the image.

  • Publication number: 20230152615
    Abstract: A cholesterol liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel and a liquid crystal driving unit. The liquid crystal display panel has a plurality of pixels. The liquid crystal driving unit applies row driving voltages and column driving voltages to a designated pixel according to the input signal. After the input signal is transmitted, the liquid crystal driving unit activates the power-down signal within a certain period of time to reduce the row driving voltage and the column driving voltage applied to the specified pixel. Thereby, the crosstalk phenomenon on the cholesteric liquid crystal display device can be improved.

  • Patent number: 11240970
    Abstract: Disclosures of the present invention describe a plant light raising and lowering apparatus. Particularly, a control module is configured for controlling a rope winch to complete at least one inching rotation along a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction, such that a base is driven by the rope winch so as to have an upward inching movement or a downward inching movement. Moreover, a counter is adopted for counting the direction, times and/or frequency of the inching rotation, and therefore the control module is able to know a total moving distance of the base by using the inching movement recording unit to record each time of the upward inching movement and each time of the downward inching movement. Therefore, a user is able to control the base to move back to a specific position such as an initial position or a previously-staying position.
