  • Patent number: 11934027
    Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.

  • Publication number: 20230394269
    Abstract: A card having a fingerprint sensor and a manufacturing method of the same are provided. The fingerprint sensor is disposed between a substrate and a protection layer. The protection layer has a first area and a second area thereon. The roughness of the second area is smaller than the roughness of the first area. The second area corresponds to the sensing area of the fingerprint sensor. When the user's finger is wet, the second area may effectively keep the water from remaining on it. Thus, the water does not affect the effect of fingerprint sensing.

  • Publication number: 20170148725
    Abstract: A screen control module of a mobile electronic device has at least one controller formed on a circuit board. The circuit board has multiple solder pads formed on the circuit board and respectively aligning along a first direction and a second direction. An amount of the solder pads along the first direction is greater than that along the second direction. The controller is formed by an integrated circuit with a package, and the aspect ratio of the package is not less than 2. The package has multiple electrical contacts respectively aligning along a length direction and a width direction. Each electrical contact aligns with and is electrically connected to a corresponding solder pad. Accordingly, the screen control module mounted within a side frame of a display of the mobile electronic device can increase the aspect ratio to meet the demand for narrowing the side frame of the display.

  • Publication number: 20130229365
    Abstract: A touchpad structure includes a substrate, a shielding layer and a sensing layer. The shielding layer fully covers a first surface of the substrate. By using a circuit forming process to form the sensing layer on the shielding layer so as to make the shielding layer sandwiched between the substrate and the sensing layer, the structural thickness and the manufacturing processes of the overall touchpad structure can be significantly reduced.
