  • Publication number: 20080179717
    Abstract: A semiconductor package with an electromagnetic shield is disclosed. The semiconductor package includes two substrates (102, 202; 103, 203) and an electromagnetic shield (101, 201). Each substrate has at least one die (108, 208; 112, 212) provided thereon. The electromagnetic shield is disposed between the two substrates for shielding electromagnetic interference between adjacent dies of the two substrates. One of the two substrates defines a cavity (109, 209) for partially accommodating the electromagnetic shield. Accordingly, the overall vertical height and the volume of the semiconductor package are not increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the semiconductor package is enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20080055948
    Abstract: A ripple-free drive circuit for LED backlights of an LCD panel includes a PFC circuit, a DC/DC converter, three output load units, and a drive voltage resetter. The PFC circuit is connected with the mains power for outputting DC power. The DC/DC converter is connected with the PFC circuit. The three output load units are connected with the DC/DC converter for outputting red, green, and blue lights respectively, each having an electrically-controlled switch. The drive voltage resetter is connected with the DC/DC converter and the three output load units for preventing the three output load units from generation of surge current in a moment of electric conduction. In light of this, the ripple-free drive circuit is qualified as the drive power source of the LED backlights and can effectively isolate the surge current to prevent the surge current from entry into the output load units.

  • Patent number: 7301531
    Abstract: An optical mouse has a housing, a printed circuit board, a light source unit, a photodetector unit, a light-guiding unit and a lens unit. The light source unit has different colors of image light sources and is disposed on the printed circuit board. The light-guiding unit is arranged in the housing and adjacent to the light source unit for guiding a non-complementary color light relative to a reflection surface from one of the image light sources to the reflection surface. The lens unit is arranged in the housing and positioned below the photodetector unit for converging a reflected light reflected by the reflection surface into the photodetector unit. Furthermore, the optical mouse can be operated on various colors of reflection surfaces, and still retains better sensitivity.

    Abstract: A portable electronic device is provided. The portable electronic device includes a casing, a display unit, a roller, an encoder and a controller. The casing has a casing surface. The display unit is disposed on the casing surface. The roller is rotatably disposed on the casing surface with a portion of the roller being exposed outside the casing. The roller is for adjusting the voice of the portable electronic device when the portable electronic device works at a voice-adjusting mode. The roller is for touching a surface and rotating on the surface to measure a length when the portable electronic device works at a length-measuring mode. The encoder disposed inside the casing is for outputting a pulse number. The controller receives the pulse number and determines a length value accordingly, and then controls the display unit to display the length value.

  • Publication number: 20070177056
    Abstract: A display processor integrated circuit includes a display processor portion and an on-chip programmable logic portion. The programmable logic portion can be configured to implement custom video and/or image enhancement functions. The display processor portion performs block-based motion detection. If no motion is detected for a given block of pixels, then interline gaps in the block are filled using temporal interpolation. If motion is detected, then interline gaps are filled using spatial interpolation. To maintain accuracy without unduly increasing computational complexity, a less complex high angle spatial interpolation method is employed where a low angle tilt condition is not detected. A more computationally intensive low angle spatial interpolation method can therefore be employed in low angle tilt conditions. Integrated circuit cost is reduced by employing pipelining to write parts of segment buffers at the same time that other parts are being read to perform the interpolation process.

  • Patent number: 7211371
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a TFT array panel for a LCD disclosers that the gate electrode wiring, transparent conducting electrode, and the first electrode of the storage capacity are formed while the first mask is processing. Then, the selective deposition method is used to process the growth of the first metal wiring. This, therefore, can reduce the numbers of the mask processes. Further, the metal deposition with photo-resist lift-off step is used to implement the layout of the second metal wiring for the consequent transmission lines in the manufacturing process. Finally, the process of the passivation layer deposition is used to implement associated circuits of a TFT array panel for a LCD. The TFT array panel for a LCD for manufacturing circuits can simplify the manufacturing process and reduce the cost.
