Patent number: 9274638Abstract: A touch panel includes a substrate, a light-shielding layer, a patterned transparent layer, a reflecting layer, at least one first sensing series, and at least one second sensing series. The substrate has a touch sensing region and a peripheral region. The light-shielding layer is disposed in the periphery region. The light-shielding layer has a patterned opening and a sidewall adjacent to the patterned opening. The patterned opening is configured to provide a mark identifiable by human eyes. The patterned transparent layer is disposed in the peripheral region, and the patterned transparent layer covers a portion of the patterned opening. The patterned transparent layer has an inclined sidewall positioned in the patterned opening. The reflecting layer covers the inclined sidewall and the patterned opening. The first sensing series and the second sensing series are arranged in the touch sensing region to detect a position of a touch point.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2014Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: AU OPTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Shih-Wei Yang, An-Cheng Chen, Shih-Po Chou

Patent number: 8427410Abstract: A display device including a gate driver, a data driver and a plurality of sub-pixels is disclosed. The gate driver sequentially asserts a first scan signal and a second scan signal. The data driver provides a first data signal and a second data signal. When the first scan signal is asserted, the first scan signal and the first data signal respond with a first response signal. When the second scan signal is asserted, the second scan signal and the second data signal respond with a second response signal. The pulse of the first response signal is different from the pulse of the second response signal. A first sub-pixel among the sub-pixels displays a first color according to the first response signal. A second sub-pixel among the sub-pixels displays a second color according to the second response signal, and the first color is different from the second color.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2010Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Chiao-Nan Huang, Tai-Ann Chen, Heng-Yin Chen, An-Cheng Chen
