  • Patent number: 7471358
    Abstract: In order to make a boundary inconspicuous, which is located between an image area which displays an image by translucent pixels and a dummy area which always displays a white color by reflection pixels, a size ratio of transparent areas in color filters of the reflection pixels with respect to reflection areas therein is made larger than a size ratio of transparent areas in color filters of the translucent pixels with respect to reflection areas therein. In such a way, brightness of the display is balanced by adjusting quantities of transmission light through the transparent areas of the reflection pixels with respect to quantities of reflection light generated unexpectedly on transmission areas of the translucent pixels. Then, degrees of whiteness in the translucent pixels and the reflection pixels are approximated to each other.

  • Patent number: 7417695
    Abstract: A mechanism for adjusting an elevation angle of an LCD includes a base, a U-shaped locking arm, a pawl, a release button, an LCD, two rotation shafts and return springs. The base is disposed with a lower casing and a slot. The U-shaped locking arm is defined with an L-shaped hole. The pawl extends through the L-shaped hole and the slot. The release button connects to the U-shaped locking arm. The LCD is disposed with an upper casing. Teeth are respectively disposed at two ratchet arcs of the upper casing and abut against the pawl. The rotation shafts are pivotally disposed at the U-shaped locking arm, the upper casing and the lower casing. The upper casing and the angular relationship between the LCD and the base are restricted by the return springs. When the release button is operated, the angle of elevation of the LCD is adjustable.
