  • Patent number: 8040309
    Abstract: A display panel with image sticking elimination circuit is provided. The image sticking elimination circuit can be applied in a display unit comprising a plurality of pixel units driven by a gate driving circuit and a data driving circuit. The gate driving circuit is driven by a first voltage and a second voltage. The first voltage turns on the pixel units for receiving data signals and the second voltage turns off the pixel units for preventing the pixel units from receiving data signals. A switch is coupled between a data line driven by the data driving circuit and an ESD circuit. The image sticking elimination circuit is charged by the first voltage and the charged power is output to turn on the switch and the pixel units when abnormal power shut down occurs.

  • Patent number: 7985003
    Abstract: A forming mold of a light-emitting member includes a frame, an upper mold and a lower mold, and the frame is provided with carriers, pins and supporting portions. The upper and lower molds match with each other to provide a forming space for the base of the light-emitting member. The forming space contains the carriers and a part of the supporting portions. One or more projections are disposed at the position where the brinks of the upper and lower molds contact the supporting portions. After injection molding, the burrs formed by a plastic material along the supporting portions can be concealed in the recesses that are formed corresponding to each of the projections, thereby reducing the influence of the burrs on the external size of the base.

  • Patent number: 7948466
    Abstract: A dual resolution circuit for supporting normal resolution display mode and half resolution display mode is disclosed. In the dual resolution circuit, cascaded shift registers are controlled by a group of clock signals to generate intermediate scan signals in response to a start pulse. A normal/reverse scan switch, controlling a normal scan mode and a reverse scan mode, feeds back the intermediate scan signal from one shift register to another shift register. A dual resolution switch switches signal paths of the intermediate scan signals to logic gates. The logic gates perform logic operation on an enablement signal and the intermediate scan signals to generate final scan signals used in dual resolution display modes.

  • Patent number: 7945709
    Abstract: A system for locating and monitoring electronic devices utilizing a security system that is secretly and transparently embedded within the computer. This security system causes the client computer to periodically and conditionally call a host system to report its serial number via an encoded series of dialed numbers. A host monitoring system receives calls from various clients and determines which calls to accept and which to reject by comparing the decoded client serial numbers with a predefined and updated list of numbers corresponding to reported stolen computers. The host also concurrently obtains the caller ID of the calling client to determine the physical location of the client computer. The caller ID and the serial number are subsequently transmitted to a notifying station in order to facilitate the recovery of the stolen device. The security system remains hidden from the user, and actively resists attempts to disable it.

  • Patent number: 7925152
    Abstract: An exposure control method adjusts an exposure setting used for capturing an image including a foreground object and a background. The foreground object is extracted from the image by an object detection procedure. If the area of the foreground object is greater than a predetermined area value, the brightness of both the foreground object and the background is analyzed. On the contrary, if the area of the foreground object is not greater than the predetermined area value, only the brightness of the background is analyzed. The exposure setting is adjusted according to the analysis result. Accordingly, greater brightness stability is provided during the capture of the following images.
