  • Publication number: 20240192538
    Abstract: A display apparatus having a privacy mode and a sharing mode is provided. The display apparatus includes a display panel, a privacy liquid crystal module, and a touch sensing module. The touch sensing module is disposed on a side of the privacy liquid crystal module and is configured to generate a touch signal. When the display apparatus is in the privacy mode, the privacy liquid crystal module is applied with a first voltage. When the display apparatus is in the sharing mode and the touch sensing module generates the touch signal, the privacy liquid crystal module is applied with a second voltage for a predetermined time. After maintaining for the predetermined time, a third voltage is applied to the privacy liquid crystal module. The display apparatus can effectively reduce a smear phenomenon caused by the display apparatus being touched in a sharing mode.

  • Publication number: 20240085614
    Abstract: An anti-peep light source module includes a light source module and a viewing angle switching module. The light source module has a light source and a light guide plate (LGP) and has light emitting elements arranged along a first direction. The viewing angle switching module is located on a transmission path of an illumination beam of the light source module and includes a viewing angle limiting element and a viewing angle adjusting element configured to change a viewing angle of the illumination beam. The viewing angle limiting element has a grating structure and is located between the viewing angle adjusting element and the light source module. an included angle between an extension direction of the grating structure and the first direction is within a range from 88 degrees to 92 degrees. The anti-peep light source module and A display device achieve favorable optical performance, user experience, and production yield.

  • Patent number: 10797638
    Abstract: A planar solar concentrator includes a light collecting assembly and a light condensing unit. The light collecting assembly includes a light collecting unit and a waveguide slab extending in a longitudinal direction. The light collecting unit includes a light collector having an input surface, an output surface, and a curved surface to direct an incident light toward a collecting zone on the output surface. The light condensing unit is slidably coupled to a rear end of the waveguide slab for condensing the incident light from the waveguide slab, and is coupled such that based on an elevation angle of the light source, the light condensing unit is permitted to be driven to slide in a transverse direction.
