  • Patent number: 9257421
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a transient voltage suppression (TVS) device and a manufacturing method thereof. The TVS device limits a voltage drop between two terminals thereof not to exceed a clamp voltage. The TVS device is formed in a stack substrate including a semiconductor substrate, a P-type first epitaxial layer, and a second epitaxial layer stacked in sequence. In the TVS device, a first PN diode is connected to a Zener diode in series, wherein the series circuit is surrounded by a first shallow trench isolation (STI) region; and a second PN diode is connected in parallel to the series circuit, wherein the second PN diode is surrounded by a second STI region. The first STI region and the second STI region both extend from an upper surface to the second epitaxial layer, but not to the first epitaxial layer.

  • Patent number: 9047805
    Abstract: A driving method of pixels of a display panel is provided, which is adapted to drive a pixel of the display panel corresponding to a target grey-level of a display frame. In this method, a first pixel voltage is applied to the pixel during a first display period. At least one second pixel voltage is applied to the pixel during a second display period. The first and second display periods correspond to the display frame, and an enabling duration of the second display period is longer than the enabling duration of the first display period. When the target grey-level is not equal to a limit grey-level, the grey-level corresponding to the pixel voltage is different from the grey-level corresponding to the second pixel voltages. A sum of optical effects of the pixel during the first and second display periods is equal to the optical effect of the target grey-level.

  • Publication number: 20020122415
    Abstract: The invention discloses an Internet phone transmitting signals through a USB interface, which comprises a thin client and a digital phone. The USB interface connects the thin client and the digital phone. The phone communication is achieved through the online function of the thin client. The voice message sending procedure transmits outgoing message signals to the thin client through the USB interface. The thin client converts the outgoing message signals into an outgoing message VOIP package. The outgoing message VOIP package is then transmitted through a network to a target. The voice message receiving procedure transmits an incoming message VOIP package from the target back to the thin client through the network and converts the incoming message VOIP package into incoming message signals. Further through the USB interface, the incoming message signals are transmitted to the digital phone.
