Publication number: 20240128291Abstract: A sensor package structure includes a substrate, a sensor chip disposed on and electrically coupled to the substrate, a light-permeable layer, an adhesive layer having a ring-shape and sandwiched between the sensor chip and the light-permeable layer, and an encapsulant formed on the substrate. The adhesive layer has two adhering surfaces having a same area and a middle cross section located at a middle position between the two adhering surfaces. An area of the middle cross section is 115% to 200% of an area of any one of the two adhering surfaces. The adhesive layer can provide for light to travel therethrough, and enables the light therein to change direction and to attenuate. The sensor chip, the adhesive layer, and the light-permeable layer are embedded in the encapsulant, and an outer surface of the light-permeable layer is at least partially exposed from the encapsulant.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: CHIA-SHUAI CHANG, CHIEN-HUNG LIN, WEI-LI WANG, WEN-FU YU, BAE-YINN HWANG

Publication number: 20120314293Abstract: An article includes a light-transmittable substrate having opposite first and second surfaces spaced in a height direction. A first pattern is provided on the first surface of the light-transmittable substrate. A plurality of spaced first lines is provided on a face of the first pattern. A second pattern is provided on the second surface of the light-transmittable substrate. A plurality of spaced second lines is provided on a face of the second pattern. The first lines intersect the second lines when viewed from the face of the first pattern, forming a Moire pattern and creating Moire effect. Light beams passing through the light-transmittable substrate via the first pattern or the second pattern according to a viewing angle of a viewer are refracted to represent a 3D lively figure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2011Publication date: December 13, 2012Inventor: Chien-Fu Chang

Patent number: 7157976Abstract: A high frequency amplifier comprising a first trans-impedance amplifier, a second trans-impedance amplifier, a third amplifier, and a variant current source is provided. The first trans-impedance amplifier receives an input current and outputs a first output voltage accordingly. The second trans-impedance outputs a second voltage. The third amplifier receives the first and the second voltage. The variant current source is connected between the input terminal of the second trans-impedance and a ground terminal or a power supply source. The variant current source delivers a variant current to change the second voltage such that the second voltage may follow the first voltage. The input current flows into the first trans-impedance amplifier, while the variant current flows into the second trans-impedance amplifier. The input current flows out the first trans-impedance amplifier, while the variant current flows out the second trans-impedance amplifier.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2004Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventor: Chien-Fu Chang
