  • Patent number: 7518321
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a light module, which allows the individual lamp unit to be replaced with a new one and the luminance of the newly-replaced lamp unit can be automatically or manually adjusted to get a uniform luminance. Wherein, information of a first relation table of a lamp luminance versus a using time and a second relation table of the lamp luminance versus an operation current-power is used to determine the current power. In addition, a clocking unit is used to count a total using time for the light module. Then, a desired lamp luminance according to the first relation table can be determined, and then the current power is determined according to the second relation table.

  • Publication number: 20070103853
    Abstract: Here provided is a structure for assembling a flat panel display in a notebook. A rear cover has a cross section of a wedge shape conformable to an LCD module so as to avoid using a conventional rectangular plastic mold frame by replacing it with the rear cover. Additionally, a conventional bezel is replaced with a front frame of the notebook. With such replacement, a structure and processes for assembling the flat panel display in the notebook can be significantly simplified without scarifying the advantage of the high compactness of the notebook computer to decrease a fabricating cost and the weight of the flat display.

  • Patent number: 7172329
    Abstract: The present invention provides a back light module, having an optical element, a light source and an outer supporting means. The optical element includes main body and protrusions which protrude from an edge of the main body. Contiguous protrusions with the main body form a positioning groove. The conjunction region between protrusion and main body is a fillet. The outer supporting means fixes the optical elements and the light source, which has at least one positioning component disposed on the edge of the back plate. The positioning component includes one inner wall near to edge of the main body, a side wall near to the protrusion and a transition wall connecting the side wall and the inner wall. A separate distance g between the fillet and the side wall so that the optical element can be prevented from cracking during the impact or shock test of the back light module.
