  • Patent number: 10672348
    Abstract: A display device includes a display, a driver, a memory, and a controller. The display includes a display panel and a backlight unit with a plurality of light-emitting elements to display an image. The driver is electrically connected to the display to transmit a backlight control signal to the backlight unit. The memory stores a plurality of adjustment instructions, and each adjustment instruction includes a drive frequency and a control parameter. The controller is electrically connected to the display, the driver, and the memory. The controller is configured to determine a drive frequency and a control parameter corresponding to the drive frequency in the memory according to a frequency adjustment signal, and then adjust the backlight control signal according to the control parameter, to change a duty cycle of the backlight control signal, so that a refresh rate of the backlight unit meets a requirement of a user.

  • Patent number: 9362069
    Abstract: A multi-command trigger switch includes a rotary switch, a rotary casing and a trigger element. The rotary switch includes a base and a rotary disc coupled with the base and movable on a swivel locus against the base. The base and the rotary disc are interposed by a housing space to hold a rotary trigger assembly and a depressing trigger assembly. The rotary trigger assembly outputs a first trigger signal while moving on the swivel locus. The depressing trigger assembly outputs a second trigger signal while moving on a vertical locus. The rotary casing and the rotary switch define a movement space therebetween to hold the trigger element. The base and the depressing trigger assembly confine movement of the depressing trigger assembly through a positioning notch and a confining rib. The depressing trigger assembly and the trigger element include confine the trigger element from rotating against the rotary casing.

  • Publication number: 20140042006
    Abstract: A microswitch comprises an accommodation room thereinside, a common terminal, an NC terminal and an NO terminal that are extended from the accommodation room, and a pressing element. The accommodation room further holds an operating element and an elastic element. The operating element has a pressed member located at one side of the common terminal and compressed by the pressing element, and a conduction member located at another side of the common terminal and interposed between the NC terminal and NO terminal. The elastic element is arranged between the common terminal and the conduction member, and has a first fixing portion coupled to the common terminal and a second fixing portion coupled to the conduction member. The operating element is normally supported by the elastic element to contact the NC terminal and pushed down by the pressing element to disconnect from the NC terminal and contact the NO terminal.

  • Patent number: 8440927
    Abstract: An enhanced returning elasticity micro switch includes a base and a cap mounted thereon to form a housing compartment therebetween. The base is run through by a first pin and a second pin. The first pin has an anchor portion in the housing compartment to couple with a conductive member. The conductive member has a lower contact portion and swings when being pressed. The second pin has a first contact in the housing compartment. The first contact has an inclined surface connected to the lower contact portion during swing of the conductive member. The inclined surface is located at an elevation tapered towards the anchor portion. Hence the contact area between the conductive member and second pin increases, and adhesion force between the conductive member and second pin during power transmission decreases. Returning elasticity of the conductive member increases, and resistance against depression of the conductive member decreases.

  • Patent number: 8383975
    Abstract: An enhanced withstand voltage micro switch includes a base and a cap covering the base. The cap has a press element movable up and down. The base has a conductive member depressed by the press element and a connecting section extended upwards. The base also includes a first contact, and a second contact extended from the connecting section and located above the first contact. The conductive member is swung during up and down movement of the press element to connect with the first or the second contact. The connecting section has an isolation portion jutting sideward between the first and second contacts to prevent generation of a conductive layer caused by connection of the conductive member with the first and second contacts on the connecting section. Thus secured insulation can be formed between the first and second contacts to withstand a higher voltage test.

  • Patent number: 7371983
    Abstract: A structure of a flexible element has a force-receiving portion and a fixing portion, wherein the force-receiving portion is extended to have two arms for connecting with the fixing portion, so as to form two bending portions therebetween, characterized in that an inner end point is defined inside the fixing portion and the inner edges of the fixing portion are extended from the inner edges of the bending portion and intersected at the inner end point, so that a force-distributing section is defined between the bending portion and the inner end point, for distributing the torque applied on the bending portion, so as to eliminate the problem of too much concentrated stress.
