Abstract: A high-voltage semiconductor device structure is provided. The high-voltage semiconductor device structure includes a semiconductor substrate, a source ring in the semiconductor substrate, and a drain region in the semiconductor substrate. The high-voltage semiconductor device structure also includes a doped ring surrounding sides and a bottom of the source ring and a well region surrounding sides and bottoms of the drain region and the doped ring. The well region has a conductivity type opposite to that of the doped ring. The high-voltage semiconductor device structure further includes a conductor electrically connected to the drain region and extending over and across a periphery of the well region. In addition, the high-voltage semiconductor device structure includes a shielding element ring between the conductor and the semiconductor substrate. The shielding element ring extends over and across the periphery of the well region.

Abstract: An image processing device and an image processing method determine whether the photographic scene has a high luminance difference. If the photographic scene has a high luminance difference, the image processing device and method switch the image pickup unit to a high luminance difference exposure mode. If the photographic scene does not have a high luminance difference, the image processing device and method switch the image pickup unit to a normal exposure mode.

Abstract: An image capturing device includes a memory, a display unit, and a face-portion magnifying system. The memory stores an image including a matrix of image pixels. The display unit includes a screen. The face-portion magnifying system is configured for: recognizing any human face contained in the image and determining a face portion in the image if human face(s) is recognized, determining whether the number of the image pixels of the determined face portion is greater than the resolution of the screen, magnifying the determined face portion if the number of the image pixels of the determined face portion is greater than the resolution of the screen, and displaying the magnified face portion on the screen.

Abstract: An image capturing device includes a digital signal processor for processing an image captured by an imaging sensor, a display unit for displaying the image, a storage unit for storing the image and preset voice samples, and a voice processing unit for picking up sound waves and converting the sound waves into text information. Each voice sample represents a category. In a first operation mode, the digital signal processor assigns the image to the category if the text information approximately matches one of the voice samples, or establishes a new category and assigns the images to the new category if the text information does not match any of the voice samples. In a second operation mode, the digital signal processor causes the image in the category corresponding to the text information to be displayed by the display unit in a slideshow fashion or a thumbnail fashion.

Abstract: A digital imaging device includes a display panel, a capturing unit for capturing a number of images including a current image and a subsequent image, a brightness measuring unit configured for measuring a brightness value of the current image, a judging unit configured for determining whether the measured brightness value is acceptable, a controller, a memory and a regulating unit. The controller is used for adjusting exposure parameters of the capturing unit for the subsequent image if the measured brightness value is not acceptable. The memory stores a table including a collection of brightness values and a collection of driving voltage values, wherein each brightness value is associated with a driving voltage value. The regulating unit is used for indexing a driving voltage value in the table associated with the measured brightness value, and adjusting the display panel according to the indexed driving voltage value if the measured brightness value is acceptable.
