  • Publication number: 20230244305
    Abstract: An active interactive navigation system includes a display device, a target object image capturing device, a user image capturing device, and a processing device. The target object image capturing device captures a dynamic object image. The user image capturing device obtains a user image. The processing device recognizes and selects a service user from the user image and captures a facial feature of the service user. If the facial feature matches facial feature points, the processing device detects a line of sight of the service user and accordingly recognizes a target object watched by the service user, generates face position three-dimensional coordinates corresponding to the service user, position three-dimensional coordinates corresponding to the target object, and depth and width information, accordingly calculates a cross-point position where the line of sight passes through the display device, and display virtual information of the target object on the cross-point position of the display device.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing and driving an optically compensated birefringence (OCB) mode liquid crystal (LC) panel is provided. In the method, the OCB LC panel is applied which is characterized that a closed structure region with HAN, VA or Bend property is around a display region of the OCB LC panel. Thereafter, the OCB LC panel is driven by a mode of multistage voltage variation. The mode of multistage voltage variation includes applying a high voltage to LC molecules in the OCB LC panel for transferring them to a bend or a VA state, decaying the high voltage to a low voltage above a bend state holding voltage of the OCB LC panel, and turning off the voltage to zero so as to maintain the configuration of LC molecules in the OCB LC panel in a ?-twist state.
