  • Patent number: 11967613
    Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a substrate, and an active device and a passive device over the substrate. The active device is disposed in a first region of the substrate, and the passive device is disposed in a second region of the substrate. The semiconductor structure further includes a shielding structure and a passivation layer. The shielding structure includes a barrier layer and a ceiling layer. The barrier layer is on the passive device and the active device, and the ceiling layer is on the barrier layer. The passivation layer is under the barrier layer and covers a top surface of the passive device. An air cavity is defined by sidewalls of the barrier layer, a bottom surface of the ceiling layer, and the substrate.

  • Patent number: 9189074
    Abstract: An optical sensor system is disclosed. The optical sensor system comprises a panel and a sensing unit. The panel comprises a plurality of transparent areas. The sensing unit locates at one side of the panel and the sensing unit senses a plurality of first light signals reflected by an object and senses a plurality second light signals of an ambient light. The reflected first light signals and the second light signals pass through one of the plurality of transparent areas of the panel. The sensing unit further comprises a light sensor and a plurality of gesture sensors. The light sensor locates at the center of the sensing unit, and the light sensor senses the second light signals. The plurality of gesture sensors surrounds the light sensor, and the gesture sensors senses the reflected first light signals and then produce gesture signals corresponding to motions of the object.

  • Patent number: 8406610
    Abstract: Systems and methods of editing media data are described. One such method includes displaying a representation of a first and second media data instances. Each media data instance is displayed along a corresponding one of a plurality of lines at a corresponding one of a plurality of positions. The corresponding position is chosen in accordance with a capture time associated with the media data instances, such that when the media data instances have overlapping capture times the media data instances with overlapping capture times are displayed on different ones of the lines. The method further includes determining an overlap region for the first media and second media data instances having overlapping capture times. The method further includes combining a plurality of frames within the overlap region of the first media data instance and the second media data instance according to an overlap style to produce an output media data.

  • Patent number: 8373648
    Abstract: A proximity sensor, a control method thereof and an electronic apparatus equipped with the proximity sensor are disclosed. The proximity sensor connected to a light-emitting module includes a light source, a light receiver and a control module. The light source emits lights at predetermined time intervals. The light receiver receives reflected lights of the emitted lights that are reflected from an object. The control module determines whether an average value of intensity values of the reflected lights is larger than a threshold value. If yes, the control module further determines whether a difference between a highest and a lowest intensity value of the reflected lights falls in a preset range. If yes, the control module would control the light-emitting module to change to a different light mode thereof. When a user reacts to the different light mode, the system will be able to tell whether a real user is present.

  • Publication number: 20090251885
    Abstract: A backlight module includes a frame, a light bar, and a locating bar. The locating bar is connected between two sides of the frame. The light bar includes a circuit board and a plurality of lighting units, where the circuit board is secured on a support of the frame, and where the plural lighting units are engaged with plural locating grooves of the locating bar, such that the lighting units are confined by the locating grooves in a lateral direction. Therefore, during the steps in assembling the light bar, not only personnel are facilitated in the assembly work, but also the light bars can be sieved out during the assembly process, preventing the defect of material waste if illumination test is performed only after the whole backlight module has been finished.
