  • Publication number: 20100026645
    Abstract: A touch display panel assembly is provided. The touch display panel assembly includes a display panel having a display surface on a side of the display panel for emitting light, a touch light detector at a periphery of the display panel for detecting the emitted light and having an iris that faces in a direction substantially normal to the display surface for passing the emitted light into the touch light detector, and a light guide above the iris for guiding the emitted light from the display surface to the iris and into the touch light detector. The touch display panel assembly has an improved viewing angle and can be made thinner as compared to conventional touch display panels due to the improved features of the touch light detector.

  • Patent number: 6917149
    Abstract: A tension mask for a color cathode-ray tube includes a plurality of strips separated by a predetermined distance and connected by real bridges. The strips define slots, through which an electron beam passes, together with the real bridges. The slots are formed such that the width of middle portions of the slots is narrower than the width of upper and lower portions of the slots in order to compensate for contraction of the strips arising when tension is applied to the strips.
