  • Patent number: 9560186
    Abstract: The apparatus has a transformable substrate having a flat state, a deformed state, a partially deformed state, and the like, and thus provides a function and a user interface that change according to the deformed state when a user wears the apparatus on his or her wrist and the flat extended state when the user detaches the apparatus from his or her wrist. When the method suggested in the present invention is used, the user can conveniently carry the apparatus on his or her wrist and use the apparatus on or off the wrist as necessary, thereby resolving inconveniences of carrying and using an existing mobile apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9411469
    Abstract: A driving circuit outputs driving waveforms to operation signal lines. The waveforms are formed by combining a first-mode waveform for charging a node capacitor with a positive voltage and a second-mode waveform for charging the node capacitor with a negative voltage in a predetermined binary sequence. A sensing circuit is electrically connected with a plurality of sense signal lines and measures sense voltages delivered to one integration capacitor from a plurality of node capacitors which are electrically connected with the sense signal lines. A sense detector adds or subtracts the sense voltages which are measured by the sensing circuit at driving time points to measure capacitances of the node capacitors. Accordingly, an autocorrelation technique which is generally used in communication systems is applied to driving a touch screen device.
