Abstract: A row (common electrode)-modulation gray-level LCD device and a method thereof, which use a row-modulation device to input at least two sequentially generated original common voltage signals to the common electrode of the same row, whereby the sequentially generated original common voltage signals cooperate with the segment voltage signals to generate voltage differences in the common electrode and turn on or turn off the same monochromatic pixel in a time-division mode. The accumulated effect of the time-division turn-on and turn-off states enables the same monochromatic pixel to present gray-pixel.

Abstract: A forked spring tube used for a pivot hinge on a foldable electronic product, it provides an elastic twisting force for a rotation axle. The forked spring tube has an annular slipping over portion for slipping over a shaft of the rotation axle, the slipping over portion is formed on its periphery a slit to be endued with elasticity, and the lower area of the slipping over portion has a positioning protruding sheet extending vertically downwards, the bottom of the positioning protruding sheet is formed to have a left and a right bevel portion as being forked from its middle; the two bevel portions mutually symmetrical are formed at their respective upper areas fulcrums, this will get larger fulcrum areas, and the twisting force that the spring tube can bear can be much increased; after the spring tube is assembled in a connecting portion of a fixing seat, it can be more even structurally than the prior art, and is not subjected to the problem of loosening.

Abstract: A hinge having the function of auto-shutting, it is formed on a rotation axle thereof a pair of engaging structures being of different sizes, being composed of a pair of protrusions and a pair of detents as well as being at mutual symmetrical positions separated 180° away on contact surfaces of a positioning device including a positioning block and a positioning piece, in order that a foldable electronic product connected with the hinge is able to shut automatically when in folding. And a pair of protruding stubs and recess holes are provided at the two lateral sides of the smaller protrusion and the smaller detent of the engaging structures, in order to prevent the smaller protrusion from falling into the larger detent when the foldable electronic product is opened.

Abstract: A hinge with an auxiliary bracket, the hinge is provided on one of two lateral sides of a twin-tube bracket with an auxiliary bracket, the auxiliary bracket is in an “L” or “U” shape having a pair of openings on its front side; the twin-tube bracket has on its front side a pair of protrusions being exactly engaged in the pair of openings on the front side of the auxiliary bracket. Thereby the auxiliary bracket can be engaged with the twin-tube bracket more firmly without being subjected to releasing, this renders the auxiliary bracket to really have an auxiliary supporting function.

Abstract: A hinge for a notebook includes an L-shaped seat with a barrel. A pintle has a shaft extending in the barrel of the seat. A first tube, a sleeve and a second tube are in turn mounted on the shaft. The first tube and second tube are securely received in the barrel and each has a stop formed at a respective end facing the sleeve. The sleeve has two arcuate segments respectively formed at two ends and corresponding to the stops of the tubes. Thus, the sleeve can be rotated along with the shaft about the first and second tubes until one arcuate segment of the sleeve abuts the corresponding stop. Whereby, a user can raise the display with a small force to separate the display from the body and a large force to completely raise and position the display.
