  • Publication number: 20120327299
    Abstract: A digital signage system includes at least one set of differential transmission lines, a transmitter, at least one receiver, and at least one digital signage device. Each set of differential transmission lines includes four pairs of differential transmitting lines. The transmitter converts image and/or audio signal into first to third pairs of differential signals for output to the first to third pairs of differential transmission lines, and receives remote-captured video and/or audio signal via the fourth pair of differential transmission lines. The receiver receives the first to third pairs of differential signal from the first to third pairs of differential transmission lines, and extracts the video and/or audio signal to be displayed on the digital signage device. The receiver receives and processes a remote-captured video and/or audio signal from a remote capture device, and transmits such signal back to the transmitter via the fourth pair of differential transmission lines.

  • Publication number: 20110270547
    Abstract: A power measuring device includes an induced current meter and a power consumption indicator. The induced current meter measures and outputs a first current information of a power circuit or a second current information of a main power circuit. A voltage information of one of the branching power circuits is measured by the power consumption indicator, and the power consumption indicator receives the first or the second current information from the induced current meter. A first information is calculated according to the first current information and the voltage information, a second information is calculated according to the second current information and the voltage information, and both of the current information is displayed by the indicator. The first current information and the voltage information are obtained by the induced current meter and the indicator respectively and synchronously.

  • Patent number: 7898617
    Abstract: A multi-section visual display having an overlapping structure is disclosed, and includes a first magnifying lens, a second magnifying lens, a first display apparatus having a first display panel and a second display apparatus having a second display panel, wherein the second display apparatus is disposed between the first magnifying lens and the first display apparatus, and the second magnifying lens is aligned with the first magnifying lens in an edge-to-edge manner. While at an operation state, a first border area of the first display panel is partially overlapped with a second border area of the second display panel, thereby reducing the non-display area needing shielding by using a virtual image display from the first display panel/magnifying lens to shield a portion of the second border area, thus reducing the space required between the magnifying lenses and the first display panel.

  • Publication number: 20100253591
    Abstract: A display device comprises a display panel, an optical film and a convex lens. The display panel comprises a central axis, a display area, and a non-display area, wherein the non-display area is outside the region of the display area. The optical film is disposed near one side of the display panel and the convex lens is disposed near the other side of the display panel. The optical film comprises a microstructure configured to diverge incident light entered into the display panel and to redirect a portion of incident light near the border between the display area and non-display area to the non-display area. The convex lens is configured to converge the output light from the display panel and redirect the output light approximately parallel to the central axis.
