  • Publication number: 20160229154
    Abstract: Disclosure is related to a touch-sensitive panel device and electrode structure therein. The electrode structure is made of metal material. The electrode structure not only eliminates reflective light from the metal layer, but also retain transmittancy and conductivity. The electrode includes a metal conductive layer, a light-trimmed roughened structure and a blackened layer. The trimmed roughened structure is formed in the electrode structure, for example on the metal conductive layer. The trimmed roughened structure is used to eliminate the reflective lights made by the metal conductive layer and the substrate. The trimmed roughened structure may be formed by an etching process applied to the metal conductive layer; or by electrolytic, sputtering, deposition or coating process. The blackened layer is used to absorb the lights reflected from the metal material, and also to reduce color shift of a display. The blackened layer is used to eliminate the metal reflection.

  • Publication number: 20150029161
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a stylus device includes two switch mechanisms, one disposed at the stylus tip portion and the other disposed at the stylus end portion. The stylus device also includes a wireless transceiver that allows the stylus device to communicate back to an electronic host device (e.g., an electronic tablet) in response to a user contacting the surface of a host device with the stylus tip portion or the stylus end portion. This enables, for example, a wide range of dual stylus device functions for electronic tablet applications. For example, the stylus device can be used to write and/or draw with the stylus tip portion and then can be flipped to the stylus end portion to erase as a user would generally do with a conventional pencil on paper. In another example, the stylus device can include a marker color tip on the stylus tip portion and a color blender on the stylus end portion.
