  • Publication number: 20130338515
    Abstract: A wireless detection device is provided, comprising a voltage control oscillation unit, a transceiving unit, demodulation unit and processing unit. The voltage control oscillation unit generates different oscillation signals according to analog control voltages and corresponding injection signals. The transceiving unit outputs first wireless signals to a predetermined area according to the oscillation signals and receives second wireless signals generated by reflection of the first wireless signals to generate the injection signal. The demodulation unit demodulates the oscillation signals into first voltage signals. The processing unit subtracts the corresponding analog control voltages from the first voltage signals to generate second voltage signals, and when the variation of the second voltage signals exceeds a predetermined value on a target frequency in frequency domain, the processing unit calculates a real distance between an object and the transceiving unit.

  • Patent number: 7560314
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an active array color filter structure utilizes the difference between the surface properties of lipophilicity and lipophobicity. When inks are coated on an active array substrate, ink at the lipophobic areas on the active array substrate will be repelled naturally, so that the color filter pixels formed on the active array substrate naturally have contact vias, which facilitates the electrical coupling of pixel electrodes and switch elements. Since there is no aligning or laminating process required for the color filter substrate and the active array substrate during fabrication, no aligning errors will occur. Also, because the pixel electrode can extend to cover over the corresponding switch element, aggravation of the switch element is reduced.
