  • Patent number: 8763977
    Abstract: A stand for a display device is provided and includes a housing having an accommodating groove, a hinge structure including a first board and two second boards, and a latch including an operation portion. The first board is fixed on a backboard of the display device and has a positioning groove. The two second boards are rotatably connected respectively to two ends of the first board and each is fixed on the housing. The latch is flexibly placed on the housing and is aligned with the first board. The operation portion is exposed through the accommodating groove. The fastening portion is selectively engaged with the positioning groove by releasing a spring force of a spring connected to the latch. When the operation portion is moved in a direction away from the first board, the fastening portion is disengaged from the positioning groove by compressing the spring.

  • Patent number: 7493035
    Abstract: A method for focusing by using a pre-flash is provided. The method includes the following steps. First, the image sensor captures a first image of the object, wherein the average brightness of the first image is calculated to be Y0. Next, the image sensor captures a second image of the object with the aid of a first pre-flash having a first energy, wherein the average brightness of the second image is calculated to be Y1. Afterwards, the image sensor captures a third image of the object with the aid of a second pre-flash having a second energy, wherein the average brightness of the third image is calculated to be Y2. Then, the distance D to the object is calculated according to the brightness Y0 and the difference ?Y between Y1 and Y2. Finally, the image sensor adjusts the focus according to the distance D.
