  • Publication number: 20240102854
    Abstract: A sensor package includes a substrate, a light sensor disposed on the substrate, at least one optical filter disposed on the light sensor, and an optical functional layer that is light-permeable, is disposed on the substrate, covers the light sensor and the optical filter, and includes multiple light-scattering particles. The light sensor has a light receiving region, and receives light through the light receiving region. The optical filter covers the light receiving region. When the light passes through the optical filter within an incident angle range and is received by the light receiving region, the light sensor responds to a wavelength range of the light, and a response spectrum is obtained. Within the incident angle range, an absolute value of an offset measured at a crest of a waveform of the response spectrum is less than or equal to 10 nm. An electronic device is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240103319
    Abstract: The invention refers to a diffusion plate and a backlight module having the diffusion plate. The diffusion plate comprises a plate-body and a plurality of pyramid-like structures arranged on a surface of the plate-body. Each pyramid-like structure has a bottom surface, a first convex portion and a second convex portion. The first convex portion and the second convex portion have different vertex angles, and therefore the pyramid-like structure can also be called as “pyramid-like structure with multiple vertex angles”. The pyramid-like structures with multiple vertex angles can increase the light splitting points, which can improve the light splitting effect of the diffusion plate. The light source of a single light-emitting diode can be divided into eight point-light sources (light splitting points) or more, which is double the number of light splitting points compared with the traditional pyramid structure with single vertex, and thus can greatly improve the light diffusion effect.

  • Patent number: 11940828
    Abstract: A voltage tracking circuit is provided. The voltage tracking circuit includes first and second P-type transistors and a control circuit. The drain of the first P-type transistor is coupled to a first voltage terminal. The gate and the drain of the second P-type transistor are respectively coupled to the first voltage terminal and a second voltage terminal. The control circuit is coupled to the first and second voltage terminals and generates a control voltage according to the first voltage and the second voltage. The sources of the first and second P-type transistors are coupled to an output terminal of the voltage tracking circuit, and the output voltage is generated at the output terminal. In response to the second voltage being higher than the first voltage, the control circuit generates the control signal to turn off the first P-type transistor.
