  • Patent number: 10438558
    Abstract: A driving method of a visual interface system is disclosed. The visual interface system includes an operation apparatus and a matrix display apparatus having a display surface and a matrix substrate. The matrix substrate has a substrate and a matrix disposed at one side of the substrate while the display surface is located at another side of the substrate. The driving method includes steps of: transmitting a plurality of encoded signals and a plurality of display signals by the matrix substrate of the matrix display apparatus; and receiving at least one of the encoded signals by the operation apparatus operating on the display surface. This approach allows the visual interface system to be equipped with display and communication functions without configuring an additional touch input panel, so that the products can be lighter and thinner and have lower manufacturing cost.

  • Patent number: 10026141
    Abstract: A visual interface apparatus cooperates with an operation apparatus and has a display surface. The visual interface apparatus comprises a display panel and a control unit. The display panel includes an array substrate and a display medium. The control unit transmits a display data and a transmission data to the display panel. When the operation apparatus is operated on the display surface, a coupling signal containing the transmission data is coupled to the operation apparatus from at least one electrode of the display panel, and the operation apparatus receives the coupling signal to obtain a coupling data. A data transmission system is also disclosed in the invention. Thereby, not only the visual interface apparatus can display images, but also the transmission data such as data or files can be transmitted to another electronic apparatus through the visual interface apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9842078
    Abstract: A data transmission architecture includes a local system and a peripheral system. A core computing unit and the peripheral hub of the local system integrate display data and transmission data and transmit integrated data to the image transmission unit. A driving circuit of a display panel of the image transmission unit is utilized to transform the integrated data into a first electrical signal. A data transmission between the local system and the peripheral system utilizes at least one electrode of the display panel to transmit the first electrical signal to retrieve the transmission data. A transmitting device of the peripheral system transmits a second electrical signal. A receiving device of image transmission unit retrieves the second electrical signal. Then the receiving device transmits the second electrical signal to the peripheral hub. Accordingly the data transmission architecture can be utilized in data/files transmission, and cooperating with existing transmission system.

  • Patent number: 9792850
    Abstract: A data transmission system comprises an operation apparatus and a matrix display apparatus. The matrix display apparatus includes a display panel and a control unit. The control unit receives a data stream and transmits at least a part of the data stream to an electrode on the display panel. When the operation apparatus operates on a display surface of the matrix display apparatus, at least a part of the data stream is coupled to the operation apparatus from the matrix display apparatus. Thereby, the data stream such as data or file can be transmitted to the operation apparatus from the matrix display apparatus through a wireless communication. The data transmission system of the invention can be combined with the application of the near field communication, and the data or file can be transmitted to another electronic apparatus through the display apparatus so that the application can be expanded.
