  • Patent number: 10438558
    Abstract: A driving method of a visual interface system is disclosed. The visual interface system includes an operation apparatus and a matrix display apparatus having a display surface and a matrix substrate. The matrix substrate has a substrate and a matrix disposed at one side of the substrate while the display surface is located at another side of the substrate. The driving method includes steps of: transmitting a plurality of encoded signals and a plurality of display signals by the matrix substrate of the matrix display apparatus; and receiving at least one of the encoded signals by the operation apparatus operating on the display surface. This approach allows the visual interface system to be equipped with display and communication functions without configuring an additional touch input panel, so that the products can be lighter and thinner and have lower manufacturing cost.

  • Patent number: 10026141
    Abstract: A visual interface apparatus cooperates with an operation apparatus and has a display surface. The visual interface apparatus comprises a display panel and a control unit. The display panel includes an array substrate and a display medium. The control unit transmits a display data and a transmission data to the display panel. When the operation apparatus is operated on the display surface, a coupling signal containing the transmission data is coupled to the operation apparatus from at least one electrode of the display panel, and the operation apparatus receives the coupling signal to obtain a coupling data. A data transmission system is also disclosed in the invention. Thereby, not only the visual interface apparatus can display images, but also the transmission data such as data or files can be transmitted to another electronic apparatus through the visual interface apparatus.
