Patent number: 9470836Abstract: A display device includes a display panel, a backlight module and a reel. The backlight module faces the display panel and includes a light transmissive region, a light emitting region and a peripheral region, in which the peripheral region is disposed between the light transmissive region and the light emitting region. The light transmissive region includes a first edge extending along a first direction and a second edge extending along a second direction. The backlight module includes a first brightness enhancing film including first microstructures arranged along the first direction. The first microstructures that pass through the peripheral region without connecting to the first edge have less light gathering efficiency than the first microstructures that only pass through the light emitting region. The reel faces the light transmissive region, and the display panel and the reel are respectively located on opposing sides of the backlight module.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2015Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: AU OPTRONICS CORP.Inventors: Hsing-Jung Chuang, Super Liao, Chun-Ting Hsu

Publication number: 20120169666Abstract: An optical touch-sensing liquid crystal panel including a backlight, a liquid crystal display panel, a first reflector, a second reflector and a plurality of photo sensors is provided. The liquid crystal display panel includes a pixel array and a plurality of output light-valves, wherein the output light-valves are located outside the pixel array. The first reflector is disposed above the output light-valves. The photo sensors are disposed under the second reflector. The output light-valves and the photo sensors are respectively turned on by turns. When each of the output light-valves is turned on, the invisible light provided by the backlight passes through the output light-valves, the invisible light is then reflected by the first reflector as well as the second reflector in sequence and is captured by the corresponding photo sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2011Publication date: July 5, 2012Applicant: AU OPTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Fu-Cheng Fan, Hsing-Jung Chuang, Yu-Ping Wu, Tzu-Ling Niu

Patent number: 5598075Abstract: Disclosed is a servo control method and apparatus for use on discharging machines to control the discharging conditions on working piece. In conventional art, feedrate control is based on the average of the discharging voltage between the discharging electrode and the working piece, which takes the off-time period into account; and in the condition of a long off-time period, the average voltage will be lowered as to affect the stability of the discharging process. The servo control method and apparatus according to the present invention disregards the off-time period and takes only the ignition voltage and discharging voltage into account such that the stability of the discharging machine will not be affected. Furthermore, during discharging, the servo control method and apparatus is capable of detecting whether there is a short-circuit condition and adjusting the average voltage accordingly so as to quickly remove the discharging electrode from the working piece.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 1995Date of Patent: January 28, 1997Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Jui-Fang Liang, Hsing-Jung Chuang
