  • Patent number: 11960141
    Abstract: Provided is a lens assembly driving module including a photographing lens assembly, a first driving mechanism and a second driving mechanism. The photographing lens assembly includes N lens elements and has an optical axis passing through the N lens elements. The first driving mechanism drives at least N/2 said lens elements to move along the optical axis of the photographing lens assembly. The second driving mechanism enables a relative distance along the optical axis of two adjacent ones of the N lens elements to vary. Therefore, any specific one of the lens elements is capable of being driven to optimize optical imaging resolution of various fields of view independently within a real shot at different object distances.

  • Patent number: 9018716
    Abstract: A metal migration-proof touch panel structure is proposed to solve the problem: metal migration occurs in the active area of a metal mesh-based touch panel and causes short circuit in metal traces. The present invention is characterized in indirectly linking the ESD dummy to the ground terminal via an ESD protection element to replace the conventional design that directly connects the ESD dummy with the ground terminal. Thus, the ESD dummy and the ground terminal are normally in an open-circuit state. While ESD interference occurs, the ESD protection element an impedance approaching zero ohms and fast conducts the energy to the ground terminal to drain off the energy. The ESD protection element is a varistor or a transient voltage suppressor.
