Patent number: 9207807Abstract: A vehicular optical touch apparatus includes a screen, an elastic layer, a detection light source, and an image detector. The elastic layer is disposed on the screen and includes a first surface facing away from the screen and a second surface facing the screen. The second surface includes a plurality of inclined surfaces inclined with respect to the first surface. The inclined surfaces totally reflect at least one portion of ambient light entering the elastic layer through the first surface, so that the portion of ambient light leaves the elastic layer through the first surface. The detection light source emits detection light toward the elastic layer. When an object presses the first surface to deform the second surface, the detection light sequentially passes through the elastic layer, is reflected by the object, passes through the elastic layer again, and is transmitted to the image detector.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2013Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Young Optics Inc.Inventors: Chih-Hsien Tsai, Hung-Chih Chou, Wei-Szu Lin

Patent number: 9033518Abstract: An illumination system includes a first light source, a first rotation wheel, a first phosphor element, and a light combining element. The first light source is capable of emitting a first color beam. The first rotation wheel is disposed on a transmission path of the first color beam and includes a first transmissive region and a first reflective region. The first transmissive region is capable of allowing the first color beam to pass through so as to form a first color transmissive beam. The first reflective region is capable of reflecting the first color beam to form a first color reflective beam. One of the first color transmissive and reflective beams excites the first phosphor element to form a second color beam. The light combining element combines the second color beam and a beam originating from the other one of the first color transmissive and reflective beams.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2011Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Young Optics Inc.Inventors: Haw-Woei Pan, Chao-Shun Chen, Hung-Chih Chou, Hsin-Hung Lin, Yu-Yun Chang
