  • Patent number: 10001855
    Abstract: A touch display device and a method for driving the same are provided. The touch display device includes a display panel and a touch panel. In the method, the touch display device provides a source output signal and outputs a plurality of pixel voltages during an enable period of the source output signal to drive the display panel. The touch display device periodically reduces the enable period of the source output signal according to a horizontal synchronization signal corresponding to a turned-on sequence of each row of pixels, so as to establish a touch sensing period. Based thereon, the touch sensing circuit scans the touch panel during the touch sensing period that does not overlap with the enable period of the source output signal, so as to obtain sensing signals for accurately indicating electrical variations of the touch panel.

  • Publication number: 20180166367
    Abstract: A flip-chip packaging diode with a multichip structure includes at least two flip-chips arranged with an interval apart from each other and horizontally disposed on the top of a lower guide plate, and each flip-chip has a bottom electrically connected to the lower guide plate and a top having a conductive layer. An insulating material is filled between the two flip-chips and at the outer periphery of the two flip-chips, so that the conductive layers at the tops of the two flip-chips are isolated to form a first electrode and a second electrode for electrically connecting an external circuit. With this structure, a series circuit is formed between the two flip-chips.

  • Publication number: 20060145495
    Abstract: A finger device for grasping objects is disclosed, which comprises multiple base members and a driving belt. Each base member comprises a main body, a first axle defined in the main body, a second axle defined in the main body, an elastic member and a binding member. The binding member is used for connecting the neighboring main bodies for continuous motion. The elastic member also connects the neighboring main bodies for changing or recovering the relative positions of the main bodies. The first axle and the second axle of one base member are located along a different line from the first axle of another base member, and the driving belt is used for connecting to the first axle and the second axle of each base member. Therefore, as the driving belt is pulled, the relative positions of the main bodies change and the finger device bends.
