Abstract: A reconfigurable antenna system is described which combines active and passive components used to impedance match, alter the frequency response, and change the radiation pattern of an antenna. Re-use of components such as switches and tunable capacitors make the circuit topologies more space and cost effective, while reducing complexity of the control signaling required. Antenna structures with single and multiple feed and/or ground connections are described and active circuit topologies are shown for these configurations. A processor and algorithm can reside with the antenna circuitry, or the algorithm to control antenna optimization can be implemented in a processor in the host device.

Abstract: A communication system is provided, including an antenna, a matching network coupled to the antenna, a controller configured to control the matching network, and a look-up table coupled to the controller. The look-up table includes characterization data according to frequency bands and conditions. The controller is configured to refer to the look-up table to determine optimum impedance for a frequency band selected under a condition detected during a time interval, and adjust the matching network to provide the optimum impedance.

Abstract: A display device including a housing, a display module, a carrier and a color correction module is provided. The display module is disposed in the housing and exposes a display plane, which faces a first direction vertical to the display plane. The carrier is movably connected to the housing and disposed outside the housing or disposed on a back side of the display module. The back side faces to a second direction opposite to the first direction. The color correction module is disposed on the carrier and has a sensing face. The carrier is selectively disposed at a first position or a second position with respect to the housing. When the carrier is at the second position, the sensing face of the color correction module is moved to face the display plane.
